And the game is meaningful for maybe a couple of reasons - none of which have anything to do with trying, by comparison, to suggest our loss at SC was "ok." It helps in the SEC standings, obviously. But couldn't it also help in regard to the SC loss being a Quad 1 loss now (although maybe it already was, I don't know)?
Final: South Carolina 65 Tenn 59

good for us, Carolina is damn good. Can’t believe they were picked last this year in the SEC. Their coach has them playing some great basketball.
No, I think both of your points are wrong. South Carolina is good and played well. Tennessee has options. Zeigler is good and so is their PF.
You have Rick Barnes...so you have nothing to worry about, it's in the bag.
They evidently are a great defensive team as witnessed by UK and UT
?? Since when is Rick Barnes our coach? Are you joking? He pulled his name out of consideration back in 2007. You need to get behind Cal as our coach. Have faith.
I agree that TN has other decent options on offense, but they sure don't seem to want to use them. Knecht looks like a ball-hog, but it appears to me like he's just doing what he's being told to do. And it also looks like in doing so, TN is wearing Knecht the heck out.
Agree that Knecht is a ball hog. Looks like a guy that has been told to shoot a lot. Will take the ship down with him I think.
South Carolina beat UK by 21 beyond the arc and beat TN by 15 from long distance
They run you off the 3 pt line and they jack up a ton of open threes, drive and dish, or offensive rebound and kick it out
They are physical and defend too.

We had people blasting our guys for losing to a "weak" SC club. I agree, they're legit.
But there is a difference in getting beat on the road (top 10 this year winning less than 50% on road) and getting beat at home. You have to admit that
USC snuck up on uk. But Tenn saw them coming because of our loss. That helped make up that point difference
Lol. Yeah, someone already tagged us. I'm sure you've never been wrong on here.
No sense in trying to explain this to people. They never understand how "vegas" works.
I was thinking the same thing. I see this team crashing and burning
Lol. I never saw 1 post saying to fire Cal after that. Why people choose to pick 1 game to back their argument is beyond me. Let's go back 3 or 4 years.
Welp, South Carolina will absolutely be ranked Monday. Unless they somehow poop the bed against Georgia this weekend.
Because this is the Kentucky Wildcats. If you are a fan as long as you claim to be I shouldn't have to go further in depth.
How about just giving SC the credit they deserved...like some coach Earned Not Given! Give me some of that.
We will see. I hope so. We can’t afford to lose another single game at home. Not after losing to UNCW at home.
If we don’t have a good game tonight, I’m concerned for the future.
Our game was within 4 for 80% of that game
The final 7/8 mins they took it to a different level and were making half court shots n shit. Beating UT on road is a bigger showing
SC loss ain't so bad now. Ok. I still cannot belieev those guys aren't ranked. I guess that'll change now. Jump wherever Kentucky is at, at least.... lol
I would just like for everyone that reads my post right here to look at how the Vols - SC ended. Knecht hit the deep three leaning in on the SC player, BUT DIDNT GET THE FOUL HE AND THE TEAM) WAS BEGGING FOR to make it a 4 point play.
If he were playing at Duke or Kansas, don't you think he would have gotten that call on their home court in either of those places ? Sure he would've. 4 point play to win the game headlines for ESPN baby ! For Tennessee ?!?!? not so much.
THAT is the difference between Kansas and Duke and how they get treated, and how every other team gets treated at home. It's not that home cooking doesn't occur. It's that THOSE 2 schools get it wayyyy more and over the top than anywhere else on a VERY consistent basis.
it's propped up the two programs for years.
