if i was a head basketball coach at a large school, i'd do exactly what bruce pearl is doing. touché bruce pearl.

3/19/2007 4:57:39 PM

yup, especially one with a lot of potential, but very very little bball tradition

3/19/2007 5:00:03 PM

bruce pearl just said tyler hansbrough flops (basically) on pti. go bruce pearl

i really do like this guy. maybe 2nd best coach in the country behind our boi sid lowe

3/20/2007 4:47:05 PM

I love Pearl but I think if he was at another school, like Georgia, I would hate his guts haha. All the other SEC coaches hate him cause he doesnt give a fuck about being PC

3/20/2007 5:15:59 PM

he gave another great interview on PTI tonight
i love to hear him on the radio and on tv doing interviews...i do think i might could get a little tired of it but its awesome stuff every now and then

3/20/2007 5:49:50 PM

here's hoping OSU stops it from continuing

3/21/2007 9:29:27 PM

that guy

3/21/2007 11:06:40 PM

lets go vols, beat lebron's grandpa and the rest of those nuts!

3/22/2007 4:28:15 PM

Playmakers tonight for the ass kicking

3/22/2007 5:21:20 PM

Seth Davis on CBS said UT in an upset tonight.

This game is at a neutral site and UT SHOULD have won at tOSU.

GO VOLS

3/22/2007 6:11:29 PM

a lot of "experts" are picking us... which means we will get destroyed. I just think we have anything close to an answer for Oden. Lofton will have to be retarded AND someone else will have to step up... but if we are missing a lot of shots it will be just like the LSU game with Davis: rebound oden, rebound oden, rebound oden

very few second chance shots

3/22/2007 6:37:40 PM

isnt playmakers an OSU bar?

that mightve been why you did the face though, and I could be missing the joke

\/ that was my original thought of why he did the face

3/22/2007 6:44:00 PM

i believe the was in reference to the "ass kicking"

3/22/2007 6:45:48 PM

I think OSU will come out ready for this game especially after that wake-up call against Xavier...they simply dominated that overtime and it could carry over to this game...

but UT is an explosive offensive team at times and as deep as my UT hatred goes, I wouldn't mind seeing all 3 teams from Tennessee advancing past the sweet 16

3/22/2007 6:53:46 PM

?not a rivalry?

this is an ncstate game between two high programs and pearl has brought tenn out of the gutter to compete with memphis for local talent and now they meet for a direct battle to the final four.

who could have scripted this any better?

If they blow this Id rank that as a total meltdown

3/22/2007 11:08:54 PM

move the 3 point line back

3/22/2007 11:12:45 PM

I'm a Florida alumnus, but I hope the Vols win one tonight for the SEC. I'm tired of hearing how great the Big Ten is, and how the SEC is so weak. I'd like to see the SEC have three teams remaining in the tournament, and the Big Ten be out of it.

3/22/2007 11:16:35 PM

the good ole, pull for your archrival routine

spineless

3/22/2007 11:18:33 PM

FSU or UGA is the archrival of UF

I don't see how it's spineless to pull for any SEC team over a Big 10 team anyway....

3/22/2007 11:56:52 PM

choke choke choke

3/22/2007 11:57:24 PM

I wouldnt call it a choke, more like playing a lot better than they should have in the first half, and the second half going more like I thought the whole game would go.


Only thing I didnt like was Pearl slowing it down at the start of the second half when the up-tempo game had been dominating them all first half

3/23/2007 12:00:19 AM

wow, didnt realize that Lofton didnt go to the line once






yeah this sucks, but it doesnt kill me like the equivalent in football would have... if something like this happened in football I would be popping pills right now

Free throws killed UT. Not only did they not shoot near as many, but when they did, they missed.

I still took UT against the spread so I came out good but I had them winning in my bracket.

Fuck Oden. Motherfucker had like 7 points and acts like he is tough shit. That play with Ramar was just as much of a foul as the play before with lil dick Conley junior. What a cocky shit. Next year could be badass if Lofton stays and they only lose Dane.

3/23/2007 12:35:05 AM

a big shotblocker downlow that could also run with them would make them a champ contender. lol a mcroberts.

wow what a play by oden he came so far to block that shot that was a sure winner. ramar is going to be so good. that was one of the best defensive plays in tournament history.

what are you talking about? unless you saw something i didn't, he looked completely uninterested in the outcome after the game.

3/23/2007 3:08:31 AM

this was the best basketball game I had seen all year

It just didnt seem to me like Tennessee played very intelligently at all with that 20 point lead. I know they love to run and gun, but they were firing WAY too many quick 3's and trying to show too much flash when they should have been grounding it out

That said, ohio states performance, despite the foul problems, was the most impressive team effort i have seen in a very very long time

what a fucking game

3/23/2007 7:22:20 AM

OSU is a fluke - two lucky ass wins in a row. Fuck a bracket - I hope Memphis rips them a new one.

3/23/2007 10:24:31 AM

my bracket's already fucked, but i really don't like memphis at all. i'm very torn on this game.

Lofton coming back for his senior year.

Good news for my #2 team.

And P.S. they still got robbed against tOSU.

yes, yes they did
