Great game by Tatum and Golden. They had to make a difference today and did. We are better than Vandy inside, but we evened up in the backcourt today. I'll give some props to McBee as well. He played solid D. Tatum just shut down Taylor. Maymon and Stokes beat Ezelli on both ends. If Melbourne doesn't have a decent game UT wins by 15 going away.
Great senior day win. Great end to the regular season for Cuonzo and the Vols. I'm practically giddy about it. Cuonzo seems like a good guy - glad to see him having success. So, we're guaranteed fourth seed now, right (with Alabama's loss)? I don't mind giving UK an undefeated regular SEC season if it means 2nd place for the Vols.
We may not get in with one more win in the tourney. But we should IMO. Stokes and Finishing strong should get us in.
What does this do for our RPI? We need a lot of help there. I assume Connecticut getting it together against Pitt helps some, too.
Not sure where it will be after today. But hopefully the committee looks at how we have finished, and the difference that Stokes made mid season.
Looked like TBA was rocking today. Wish I could have been there for it. I'm still waiting on those black curtains to go back up....
