Sorry Wing. Thanks to the upbringing by my parents, I have the capacity to set aside any rivalry bias in favor of a common cause. Ultimately though, I just don't carry the burden of hatred and negativity. Again - giving gratitude to my parents who raised me to be an independent thinker who just doesn't buy into how the rank and file may behave. I love the fact that the SEC is coming into it's own now in basketball. The Florida Gators are very well regarded in both football and basketball, btw. We don't have to win every game for me to be happy. We've already proved we belong. There's plenty of room in my universe to allow for others in the conference to shine. But I will never hold it against anyone who doesn't feel the same way. Why would I care?
Zegler should have kept the ball and drove to the basket. No need to kick it out for a 3 when you're only down 1. Poor planning on that play. Longhorns win. Fantastic comeback though for Tennessee......wow!
It's something to see. I can't say I remember a time when the league was this strong top to bottom. I just hope when the NCAA tournament seedings are done, AU and UK are not faced off against each other until the Final 2. How wild would it be to have a championship game in both football and hoops that consisted of 2 SEC teams. It sucks that its not us, but we have our work cut out for us to return to that level in both.

I totally agree. At the timeout, I was thinking to myself that I'd have my best guard drive to the basket to get the foul. Oh well, not ever sorry to see the Vols lose at whatever sport is at hand.
Our next 3 games against the bottom of the standings are all winnable, but don't want a repeat of the Ole Miss game on the road against Missouri Wednesday night.

Miss State beat Carolina by 14 Vols beat Aggies by 10 Auburn up 9 on Bama early sec half Ole Miss up 10 on LSU early sec half
Rebs hold on to win by 4 at lsu, but their little PG Ruffin hurt, knee injury. Big loss if it's serious Auburn rolls over Bama.

tonight's game is big. If we lose, Missouri and Ole Miss would have the tie-breaker over us. It would put us playing on Wednesday in the SEC tournament as the standings currently sit. Need to win.
