Here we go…Fatts Russell has a career night in comeback win vs…..ah, whatever.

Well you’ll get that from me all day. I was wrong about Archie. I’ll maintain that I had my reasons to support him other than thinking he was the right guy, but all that isn’t worth rehashing. But it sure feels like a “neh-neh-na-boo-boo you were wrong” after a while.

Did we watch the whole season play out in that half? It was basically…Ehhh…alright now let’s go!…ah **** never mind.

The only thing you’re missing in your endless quest for people to praise you for your Archie takes is to say “neh-neh-na-boo-boo I was right” and then stick your tongue out. I can get my 4 year old to teach you how to do it if you need.

My current prediction is 17 wins and I've been worried about that for a while already. 20 sounds like a dream.

It’s not that hard man. Doesn’t mean this stuff wasn’t going on. But when things are going well it doesn’t always come to light. When things fall off the rails, you tend to start digging in to why, peeling back layers of the onion, and things come to light. Your insistence on lecturing people on what they should believe or not from a free message board based on whether it’s something you want to hear or not is pretty stale.

These are just.....spectacular. In so many ways. I'm very impressed.

Along these same lines, if stretching his game was never going to be a thing, he needs to be a lot better around the rim, go-to move or not. I don't watch enough college basketball to know for sure, but I'd be hard pressed to believe there is another power 5 big man (who is actually worth anything at all) who misses more shots within 5 feet and is worse at finishing through contact than Trayce is.

I just don't get how the staff uses him. If he's supposed to be a shooter let's get him shots. If we aren't going to do that and he's going to be invisible on offense, why does he start? Yet last night he comes alive and plays arguably his best stretch of basketball for us after the under 12 timeout and was most definitely a catalyst in that comeback, then he gets yanked after missing a couple shots and we don't see him again until we need to chuck 3's in OT. Seems like something that will kill a kid's confidence.

3:47 seconds. I think that might be a record for how little time it’s taken me to stop caring after a loss. This team has finally disgusted me into apathy. 1 more win is beginning to seem like a stretch.

This team is so fragile. Missed layups alone could have easily changed the last 2 games. We can’t seize an opportunity to save our lives.

This has been very concerning. Looks like he just lost interest tonight.

It’d be unbelievable if it wasn’t so believable.

There are many things we are lacking. Even bodies tonight. But the amount of times this team has had a huge opportunity in front of them or their backs against the wall and then play like they don’t give a **** is appalling.

We seem to have a serious lack of give-a-****.

Ah this is true! Just like if I go back 10 years time and figure out how to not lose my hair, I'd have hair! It could happen!

Seems nearly impossible for us to stay out of that #8/#9 game, huh? I don't think we can jump 2 teams and MSU/Iowa/Michigan all have tiebreakers over us. I suppose we could fall to 10th but that probably ends the tourney conversation anyway.

Interesting that we're the only team in conference that's worthy of being in the tourney conversation that doesn't have a road win against another team in conference worthy of being in the tourney conversation. Last chance tonight.

If the postseason ban includes the BTT, I'm all for it. You see, I just bought tix to the BTT this weekend. I don't even know why. That was a really expensive way for me to watch us lose one game. But, if both Michigan and Wisconsin aren't eligible, it significantly increases our chances of avoiding the early #8/#9 game on Thursday morning, which tips at (I think) 10:30am my time. I really need to avoid having to get up and start driving at 4am on Thursday morning. You guys are focusing on the wrong issues here. #helpNashvilleHoosiernothavetodriveat4am #banMichiganandWisconsin

Hah! Had to go put my kids down when it was 73-44…assumed I’d be eating that one.

Put a bet in at halftime for Ohio to cover +25.5.

Sure. I was only commenting on the fact that Tenn has improved quite a bit offensively.

They're averaging about 75 points over the past 3 weeks or so. They've put it together recently and are looking pretty darn good.

No thank you. Not for me. I think Tenn would beat us by 25 points all while wearing candy striped pants and you guys/gals may not have to deal with the aftermath of that but I WILL!!

Interesting timing since they just nixed NBCSports Network and shifted a lot of that programming to USA Network. However, I've really enjoyed NBC's Premier League coverage so I'm on board with this. Though I preferred the Fox Sports app to searching for sporting events on the Peacock app.
