Like I said in the first round AU is like Anarchy on the Hardwood. They can jump out to a big lead and then do its best to help that lead evaporate. They have a shot against Houston but, they have to be really, really disciplined. Not sure the Tigers can do that for 40 minutes.

I agree. A healthy UH waxes them by 15+. Auburn needs to try to speed up a hobbled Shead and get him to commit 6+ TOs again. I just see Walker and Roberts dominating Broome in the paint.

Tennessee has a nice mid-range game and defending well. 

It’s a good game. I like it.

[HtownHorn 14921]

Damn, Tennessee. This looks like a NBA team playing an Overtime Elite Squad.

Duke player throws a Tennessee player to the ground, no call, Duke hits an open 3. If it had been the other way the officials would have been reviewing it for 5 minutes for a flagrant.

This is some 1980’s b-ball. And I’m here for it. 
shit is fun.

The Ricktator running offense without a quality PG is brutal.

Yep. Our offense was pretty good in 09/10 until it wasn’t bc we got out in transition with some really good athletes but yeah, I was here for all of that. 

[Underdog 28870]

Ziegler being out doesn't help UTenn's offense. 

[BurgleBro 838]

Duke refs strike again

[Firemans4Horn 18303]

These Duke/Tennessee refs really need to chill on the moving screens and charge calls. No one watching wants to see all this ticky tack shit called. 

[wild_turkey 3221]

Good thing I bet the over on these 2 shitty offenses.

[Underdog 28870]

Damn nice half for the Vols. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

well i'll be damned. really nice 1H from the Vols. pressure defense has been everything it's supposed to be. real next man up attitude with this team. nice half. now do it again!

[shadow_operative 15932]

can we talk about nate burleson's complete inability to spin a basketball on his finger for even one second? what the hell man?!!

[Wulaw Horn 19238]

Derka- dare to dream brother. This would be a huge win for our guy and then a 9//16 next round…. Dare to dream. 

[Blotto 23697]

The Ricktator is on the prowl. Will the licktator make an appearance? 

Stick around and find out.

Serious question….if it was banned from use in sport’s commentary, would the word “physicality” actually ever be used?

[CurlyDumps 4550]

21 points. Barnesy as fuck.

I think Jesse Palmer earns $100 every time he says this on air.

Never, ever. I blame Jesse Palmer.

The same can be said for the word: stout

Football announcers love that one, too.

[shadow_operative 15932]

here comes duke.

[MirrOlure 14947]

He didn’t even hit the ball. BS

[CurlyDumps 4550]

This is setting up perfectly for the signature Rick Barnes second round gut-wrenching one possesion loss.

[Underdog 28870]

#4 on Roach?

[shadow_operative 15932]

wow, helluva finish + the foul. tennessee really needed that.

and if not, then the S16 last second hit wrenching loss to FAU, with a path to the FF wide open.

this game and uconn/iona have been fun to watch be wise of the size and athleticism on display, i'll give them that much at least. 

[Underdog 28870]

Quick tie up call there.

Idk mane that TCU game last night was pretty legit

[JGrayDBU 345]

Tenn needs to go inside every possession. 

[PittsburghTiger 6240]

Just last week I watched Duke shoot about 66% from the floor in the win over Pitt in ACC quarterfinals. It’s nice watching them struggle to score.
