80% of the country getting the OU game. This could be a great recruiting moment for the program.

Bobcats neede their gards to shoot well and limit the second chance poimts by Tennessee. I think Ohio wins this game.

That almost no look 3 by Tenn was sweet. Almost as sweet as the St. Mary's 3 towards the end of the game. Looks like a Tenn vs. OSU matchup in future. Its early yet.

The magic has run out. One hell of a run for the Bobcats. They were a team that got it all together at the right time. Tennessee is a hell of a ball club

Absolutely great run for the Bobcats. It was much more than that first round win--but that validated that what they did in the conference tournament wasn't a fluke.

Nobody likes Steven Pearl. Not even UT fans. However, the kid has NOT been given anything by his dad. He has worked his ass off 3+ years and stayed out of trouble. The off-the-court issues got him some minutes this year and he's proved to be valuable at times.

Josh Bone, Renaldo Woolridge and Skyler McBee were ahead of Pearl, and those guys don't play nearly as much now.

Another guy most people hate, including UT fans, is J.P. Prince, and I must say, he REALLY impacts a game in many ways. It's not pretty, but he is definitely the type of player you need.

If it's Tennessee/Ohio State again, it would be a fantastic match-up.

I agree, I think UT can beat OSU.

Ohio played lousy defense.

You know the Buckeyes will compete about a thousand times better on that end.

But Tennessee is very talented when they play to their potential.

Ohio State better worry about Georgia Tech first but if it ends up being Tennessee and Ohio State, I don't think OSU fans should look too much into Tennessee's peformance against Ohio.

Tennessee is athletic and against Ohio they were able to get whatever they wanted on offense. Ohio is also not very intelligent, knowing what they want to do on key possessions. The Buckeyes are a lot different having experienced big game players and a good coach in Matta. That will help on offense and on defense, they're just all-around tougher and capable of getting up and challenging. Tennessee being somewhat of a clumsy team could make mistakes, turnovers against OSU's competitiveness and pressure where as against Ohio they were in a relaxed mode from the middle of the first half on.

They didn't foul when they should have...Alley-oop jams are always 2 points. Touch fouls under the basket are often 3 points. If you foul on the breakaway, it is possible that they would only score 1 or no points. I believe Tenn had 8 or 10 straight points on oops at the end of the game when OU ran the full court press because they had nobody under the bucket.

Tennessee did not overly impress me in this game. They took advantage of easy shots late in the game to increase a 10-12 point lead up to 20. I believe Ohio State (if they beat Georgia Tech) will win this game going away.

Ohio played pretty well in the Tournament. It was a question of too quick a turn-around. They were on cloud nine after their amazing performance against Georgetown and just didn't have enough in the tank to play Tennessee that quickly. Tennessee and others of their caliber have a decided advantage against a team like Ohio because Ohio never has to play two teams in two days like Georgetown and Tennessee. Ohio was tired and not deep enough against the Vols. Plus, the Vols are just more athletic and generally better than the Bobcats. They are used to playing "Big Dogs" game after game. It helps!
