Next four games!

[PalsPal]

What's your best guess?

Auburn (home)
@ Bama
@ South Carolina
Kentucky (home)

I'm an optimist, so I'll say 3-1, but I have no idea which teams.

Barnes can make a statement in these games.

 

[Spurhunter]

It's a tough stretch for sure. If they only win 1 of 4 I hope it's alabama. I'm going on a 3 day fishing trip with some buddies this weekend and one of them is a bandwagon bammer. If Tennessee loses I'll never hear the end of it. I'll say 3-1, but 4-0 or 2-2 is definitely possible.

I'm still not sold on Purdue. The Big 10 is AWFUL this year outside of Purdue. I think Uconn is probably the best team in the country again this year.

This is the best team Purdue has had since the '87-'88 team, my freshman year there. This team is way better than that team for a couple reasons…they can dribble and pass without giving it to the other team all game long :mad:. The biggest drawback on this Purdue team is that free throw shooting is very poor at best in too many games, but they are legit and capable of winning it all.

They're good no doubt. I just don't think the guards are quite good enough to win it all. Maybe they'll prove me wrong. Wouldn't be the first or last time I'm wrong about something today.

Was watching a little bit of Mississippi State and Kentucky last night and they put a stat up with the ranking for the remainder of the schedule from a difficulty standpoint. Had UT at #5. Optimistic side says 3-1 but realistic side says 2-2. Hope I'm wrong and they go 4-0.

 

[THEdonkey0515]

Would take 3-1

 

[Spurhunter]

I feel better about the Auburn game now. I just saw Tennessee is favored by 7.5. Looks to me like Vegas is begging the public to bet on Auburn. If Vegas is begging you to bet on Auburn, they must feel good about Tennessee winning big. However, never underestimate Tennessee's ability to have an ice cold shooting night and mess that up.

 

[Mr.Bro]

Guess I'm the only one. I say they win em all

 

[Spurhunter]

It would be a great run!

Auburn is missing a starter tonight.

 

[Bamamonts]

Auburn is missing a starter tonight.

Can both teams lose?

Quiet down over there. We will be on our way down shortly

 

[DayDay]

I'm guessing Tennessee will win both home games and one road game to go 3-1. Auburn matches up with UT pretty well. I don't think USC will win even though they won in Knoxville. UT is a match-up nightmare for Alabama but I think (hope) Bama will win in Tuscaloosa.

 

[THEdonkey0515]

Knecht has took the game over

 

[cbhunter]

Knecht has took the game over

That is an understatement

 

[THEdonkey0515]

Good win

Maybe it's recency bias, but in my lifetime I don't think there's ever been somebody like DK in orange & white. Not just taking over a game but watching him get the ball and wonder what he's going to do next…

 

[SC Manimal]

Good win tonight. Now it's time to become a Rebels fan for a few hours.

In most mocks he was a top 15 pick before tonight's game. So your probably right.

Many think his gonna be the first college player taking in the draft. You would probably have to go back to the 70's when Bernard king was averaging 26+ for UT to find someone that could score at all 3 levels like DK has for UT.

We've never had a player lime him. We've had some good players a few greats but none as good as him.

 

[PalsPal]

Great game. When Knect gets in that zone, it's a fantastic thing to see. That type of performance would have been incredible to see live.

I will say that he was getting held quite a bit, and even though he would tell the ref, he didn't let it affect him.

I agree. Lofton was a shooter, Ellis was awesome with his back to the basket (at Tn), but Knect has it all.

So glad we're able to see him, and wish he had another year.

Alan Houston wasn't too bad.
The best game by a UT player I saw in person, I sat on 4th row half court in Stokely and watched The Wizard go for 51 against auburn. He put on a show.
But like others have said for all 3 levels Knecht, King and Houston would be my top 3.

 

[Gravey]

Only saw the 2nd half and all I needed to see. Knecht was a beast.

 

[Fast Learner]

Always fun to watch the adult cheerleader squirm and sweat!

That shows you never saw Bernard King play. DK is a great player, but King was even better.

No sir before my time
