Sycamores follow the big win over butler with laying an egg against western Kentucky. Hilltoppers top the trees by 18 at the hulman center

I really hope we don't run into UCLA in the tournament. At the same time, if anyone's going to beat them, why not us? It'd be wonderful to beat Alford with his alma mater.

Such a piss poor take by Tennessee at the end.

What a horrible out of bounds play by the coach

Looks like per the box score Berry did not play.

I didn't think it was out of a timeout.

[LockdownD]

Berry didn't play.  Seems his ankle was sprained and he was kept out to give him more time to recuperate.  They managed to pull out the win despite not having Berry.   Tennessee led virtually the whole game, but couldn't close out.

If UCLA is a 1, I would love to be the 2 in their bracket. That would be a great game, but much like Arizona with Miller, Alford won't go far with talent.

Rick Barnes - great recruiter, has never improved as a coach since his first game at George Mason.

Right! He should've kicked that **** out to Fulkerson . But of course that would have been his 1st 3pt attempt on the year! I know UNC was without Berry, and I really that TENN was crap this year (maybe they are). Just to show that no matter who your playing, you better show up to play

Didn't go to that one either, as we had a kids Christmas party for Claira we were at.  Sounds like I'm glad we missed it.

Juwan Morgan's last three games for Indiana: 14 PPG & 6.7 RPG, while shooting 16-17 from field. Will be all-league player down road. #iubb

Really shooting up the ladder on my list of favorites.  He is really playing more aggressive and yet has gained much more control.

He his second in PER behind Davis.  Guys are gonna beast next year  

Blackmons shooting slump has seen his PER slump to his lowest yet. But his improved D makes him a more balanced player.  His Winshares are about the same  hopefully his slump ends soon  

Newkirks is trending up as many people predicted
