Hogs vs Vols

[TorcFiadhein]

The Defense has been much better in the second half.

Yes, just not much better rebounding and just can't shoot.

Now 4-11 on free throws.

[Gambler]

Every fucking bounce is going their way. Can't say shit about the refs in this one. They hit 3s and rebounded better.

[Zoso]

I haven't started a game thread in years. It will be years before I start another...if ever.

[olive_branch_hog]

Tenn is just better.

This may be true of about 10 other teams in the SEC - just better than the hogs.

[Cornhogio]

We knew that a lot of these guys would have to recalibrate for conference physicality.  I think we'll learn a lot.  Film study will be painful.

[HogOfWar]

Should have hired Barnes when Texass let him go years ago.

The good news is the anal cleansing we got today should be good for the rest of the year.

[Barton Fink]

Flush it and move on

[Thin Red Swine]

We could've beat Kentucky today.





If they counted points for only one half.

[Guardrail]

Tenn is fricking good.

I know Davis has been battling injury, but he has been such a disappointment so far. 25 minutes today with 0 points, 2 rebounds, 1 turnover and 1 foul. That's an awful stat line for anyone, but especially bad for someone with the hype he came in with.

Yeah I think I was his last supporter but today convinced me. He's just not ready to play at this level. It was too big of a jump from FAU. He might get a little better as conference play goes on but likely would be like a 6 to 8 point guy rather than 12-14.

[red death]

I think he got a million bucks too. 

Davis is a huge bust to this point.  Probably the biggest in school history considering what we spent.

[Hognrock]

My 7 y/o learned the term "fucking rebound" today. Tenn is really damn good. Conference play is gonna be fun every night.

[red death]

All in all 8 wins in conference gets us in.

Getting back in the tourney in Cal's first year is sufficient after last year. 

I think we will. 

[Barton Fink]

Inside play is the one thing that has worried me about this roster. We could use a guy like Justin Smith that is physical and lives on the glass. Aidoo is a good rim protector but he has struggled with more physical teams.

There aren't many teams like TN.

Good perspective and probably about right on expectations.

I don't know. I think we come up against several teams that are stronger than us inside and may hit a lot threes. From what I have watched (and not a lot) Richmond(?) seems to go after rebounds and clean up shit down low, but doesn't seem to play much. And if we don't establish an inside game soon, we may not win many, at least not on the road.

Lol.
