Huge win today! As you said, tremendous gameplan and execution. Grant deserves a ton of credit for the win, we hate when it's bad but the dude did an excellent job today. Players got after it for forty minutes and hit some shots.

Great day on the bubble so far too with teams dropping like flies.

frick your mothers Tennessee.

I've been more critical than complimentary of the team this year, but I'm really proud of the players and coaches today.

1. We may not have scored a lot of points, but the offense looked good. Movement was better and very few poor shot selections. Most importantly, avoided any long scoring droughts.

2. Defensively, we were getting burned on the press early in the game but we made adjustments and it was much more effective in the 2nd half. Kudos to the coaches on that one.

3. Levi and Retin really brought a lot of energy and provided a boost on the offensive end to boot.

4. Moussa and Jacobs played well. Kept Stokes in check.

Only negative I'm going to mention is Lacey's ball handling. It's gotten to where I expect 2 or 3 TOs by Lacey just dribbling the ball away and tonight was another example.

Yea Lacey has gone full-retard the last 10 or so games. He's taken over Jacobs spot for my least-favorite player on the team. Jacobs played GREAT today.

Yea Lacey needs to come off the bench. He is soo lazy on both sides of the ball and only wants to shoot the 3. He had mid range shots but wouldnt take them. Also maybe im nickpicking but i get frustrated when we give up open shots when we know where they are going. We are in the zone and the only guys they are looking for is the white guy and McCrae but we steady give those two open shots.

Cooper is by far the most worthless player we have. He should never see the court the way he was playing today.

Yeah, we still need to beat UF, but as good as we played today, UF is just on another level. I'm hoping we can pull it out somehow though.

I don't give a shite what Lunardi says, we're ahead of Middle Tennessee and Virginia. We still won't get in without beating Florida, but after the carnage today I thin now that will be enough.

Cooper wasn't hitting his shots at all, but Lacey was a turnover machine and killed momentum. Gimme Cooper.

Neither did much. They've both been awful lately. I say give me Retin and Pollard and let's go

If I were Cooper I'd be pissed about being played out of position, but oh well.

We play a guard at the 4. He has longer guys guarding him and Cooper scores with size, not speed.

How did we look today? I don't get ESPNU where I'm at so I only saw the score.

I'd have to say we looked like a complete team for the first time since before December.
