Agree..Only shot at winning is to come out hot shooting 55% but thats not this teams M.O. We were unfazed at Rupp but fouls and some very stupid turnovers cost us that game..My biggest wish is this team doesn't end up snake bit like the football team..At times in football it was like Murphy's Law..Just when things were about to go right; the opposite happens..Bad play with a side dish of very bad luck

As I said on another thread, this team has a confidence issue, not a talent issue. Jordan is playing with a lot of confidence these days. The other guys need to take their cue from him without trying to do things they don't do well. The inside game needs to get tougher and more efficient. Avoiding cheap fouls would help a lot. Richardson, Moore, and Reese should take turns on Henderson. They are all tall enough that if they just stay on the floor so he can't get around them, they should be able to challenge his outside shots. He is a scorer, but if the Vols can make him take a lot of shots to get his points and rebound his misses, they can give themselves a chance to win. Ole Miss cracked the top-25 this week, so a Vol win at their place will be a "quality" win as the NCAA assesses these things.
