If Gonzaga was a top 50 defense KenPom's formula is garbage.
Kenpom ain't garbage...But it isn't too reliable 8 games in, either. So, yeah, right now its garbage. I mean the past 3-4 years,Zags gave been a Top 20 defenive team. Was #1 defensively two years ago.

Naw, they’ve been giving up a lot of points thus far. Not sure if the injured Zag will be helpful for their defense when he return. Maybe that’s it.

Dammit. Completely forgot this one. I was too busy watching the latest episode of Mahomes Magic.
 
Great game, as a Zags fan, it has been fun to see us be able to compete and the way they have against Tenn and Duke. Knowing that we are still a top tier team without Killian Tillie and Geno Crandall is incredibly promising. The defense is down right now but I believe that it will improve when we have another backup point guard to give Perkins a breather and to allow Rui and Clarke to be more aggressive defensively with another Premier big man. Hopefully we beat UNC and win out to earn that 1 seed out west.

Good luck the rest of the way Tenn. You guys have a hell of a team.

Gotta say, this was the best game of the season. High-level action on both ends. Fun, fun game. Sean Farnham couldn't contain his child-like excitement. "Are you kidding me, Roxy!!" Schofield is a gamer. Great win for the Vols. Gotta imagine UT/Gonzaga will both have a 1 or 2 seed come March.

Will be interesting to see how the Zags incorporate Tillie back into the lineup. Conventional wisdom would have you think that Kispert would be the 6th man - and the Zags go big with Hachimura, Clarke, and Tillie. But I'm thinking Tillie will probably come off the bench to at least shake off the rust.
 
So, you say UT sucks, but if you include me it doesn't suck. Awe thanks.Laughing
I have to give it to the Vols. They beat a really good team in Gonzaga. UT is better in basketball right now than UK. Kentucky lost to UT in football but finished second in the SEC East and will be in a New Years bowl game while the Vols are staying home and watching the Cats play Penn State.

I promise you I won’t watch that game
 
He has already seen UK get curb stomped first hand. What is to see?
Because UT couldn't beat bottom feeder Vandy and has to sit home while Kentucky is going to a New Year's Bowl game after finishing second in the SEC east. I know you are eating your hearts out knowing Kentucky has finished higher in the SEC in football for the last two years than UT. I thought UT was a football school. Evidently not.

You tell me honest, had you rather beaten UT in Knoxville for the first time in 30 something years or play PSU in the whatever bowl?

Much rather be in a New Years bowl game with the added weeks of practice plus the extra publicity and money that is attached. Much better than sitting home and pouting about not making a bowl two years in a row, especially when all you had to do was beat Vandy to at least make a low level bowl game.

So, you are a liar or a fool. I'd rather beat bama every year and lose the rest if given the choice. You have no idea what a rivalry means. But, y'all have never been much of a rival have ya?:)

Shows how crazy you are. Would you prefer to beat UK in basketball during the regular season and then sit home while watching UK wins the National Championship. You are not very smart. I believe UK lost to the Vols at Tennessee in 2012 and went on to win the National Championship. Nobody remembers that loss but we sure remember that title.

Looks like I get to have my cake and eat it too. We beat you in football and will beat you in BB too.:cool:

What is wrong? Is that logic to much for you. Do you finally realize how stupid that sounds.You would rather beat Bama in football during the regular season but watch them then go on to win the National Championship while you sit home. Winning a regular season game is nice but the ultimate goal is a national championship. Something the Vols will never see in basketball. You are more stupid than I thought. By the way UK beat the vols in the SEC championship tournament when it really counts. You have finally proven that stupid is forever.

Having my cake and eating it too, nothing wrong with that. bama ain't going to a championship if 1-12 UT beats them...
Looks like Tennessee is a lot better chance of winning the CBB championship then UK's NBA farm school that never graduates from college.:)

This never gets old.
 
My apologies to Queen Della for having to deal with the riff raff. I’m here now.

Let’s deal with football first. Tennessee fans have had to deal with incompetence in leadership for the last decade. Now we have a football man as AD and a coach that hates losing. Vandy and Kaintucky are going to be dealt with and that right soon.

Now to basketball. Even when Tennessee is awful in basketball we manage to beat Kaintucky in KnoxVegas. I believe the Vols have beat Kaintucky IN Lex recently. Kaintucky football in Knoxville? Not in over 30 years.

Who has the most wins against Kentucky in the SEC in basketball? Tennessee. Who has the most wins against Tennessee in football? Hint...it ain’t Kaintucky.

Hush now.

Your jealousy is evident. UK with 8 national championships and Tennessee with 0. Sleep on that. The vols have never been relevant in basketball. Glad to see them win a few games. I was getting worried that the Vols may give up basketball.

I think it is the other way around. Tennessee is making a splash with a blue collar old fashion upperclassman basketball team with kids that will get their degrees, while Kentucky has sold their souls with one and done kids that don't care about college, can't even spell their names.
Ya'll have lost your way and wrecked your program.
Y'all have sold your souls to the basketball devil and ironically all he has given you in return is a 40 point loss to a team named the Blue Devils.
