Hope we rack up as many wins as we can against this gauntlet of a pre-conference schedule so we can stay above. 500 overall when we get in the SEC.

He’s trying to spark us offensively. Just needs to relax. Drink less coffee.
It's amazing to me how much these teams play down to the competition. I guess they probably didn't think they needed to get up much to beat this team. Kentucky played Duke very well. Tonight is certainly not a thing of beauty. The two best teams this team has played were probably the two best games. I guess that's one silver lining.
Mintz has never been a good FT shooter. He's not a great perimeter shooter either. But I like the effort he plays with.
They have to. Woods doesn't have that many options. We have Oscar, Toppin and Collins with more scoring options. I doubt UK takes 14 threes with Oscar in the game. My takeaway, Oscar in foul trouble is the great equalizer.
8 days off too. We didn’t look this bad in the other games. Finals, etc.
They’re giving effort though. Just making dumb mistakes.
Shot goes thru the net at 2.8. Laettner signals for timeout. Refs blow whistle. Timer stops clock. All in .6 seconds. That was ********. Timer stopped clock as soon as he saw the ball go thru.
No Way say there should have been more than 1.5.
At the end of regulation when Hurley missed a shot UK rebounded and signaled for timeout at 1.8 but said timer let the clock run out. .08 was put back on the clock as standard procedure at the time was in timing situations it was judged that it took 1.0 seconds to signal a timeout, have it recognized by a ref and the timer to stop the clock. This was told me by a fellow employee who was an active Southwest conference official at the time.
The timer was rooting for Duke.

Not a great half for Wheeler. IMO he needs to concentrate more on getting others the shot and stop looking to score himself. Forces way too much.
Most of the time there was not more than one other player on the court who could make a shot.
Wheeler 6
Wheeler with 6 Assists to 2 T/O in the first half.
I agree. And Toppin is also a smart player. He just has no offense yet. He is either going to have to get a much better handle or a much better shot to help much there I believe.
what? no way. college basketball officials never make mistakes. pffft.. you’re just making excuses. impossible for
officials to call a game in favor of another team.
That's how he got to Memphis.
I'm not trying to be critical. I just think that's the stats. He was 65% last season and I think that's about what he has shot in years past. That's not good. It's not terrible I guess, but it's not good.
Greg Odens grandfather with the foul
Mintz is a career 71% ft shooter. Not great but not bad. Also 36% from three, which isn’t bad either.
Tennesse really struggling at home with Texas Tech. Down 9
