Tennessee Men's Basketball
KNOXVILLE — Heading into Tuesday night's Southeastern Conference road test at Tennessee, LSU basketball coach Johnny Jones liked what he saw on the stat sheets.

But they don't play college basketball games on spreadsheets.

Nothing cures what ails a team like 55% shooting..We are reaping the rewards of recruiting big shooting guards..McRae draws a mismatch every game and no one can guard this guy..Ball movement has been good and it's led to tons of open looks for Jordan..The loss to GA now in retrospect looks pretty big..A win would have us at 8 and 5..We need to go down there and really lay the wood to the pups..Pope and Gaines continue to sneak that team by with hot shooting and the Vols need to stick that BS back in their face..Looking forward to that one

Georgia's not the teams I'm worried about yet. One game at a time I guess. They won't let us play 2 or 3 a night I don't suppose. It would have been nice to play them all while we're hot!!
MAYBE we will! YOu can do it Big Orange.
Great job men!!
