1. An utterly crushing loss. When UT is sitting at home during the postseason, they can look at this one as the main culprit. That loss is all about the Vols' failures and has nothing to do with anything Georgia did.
2. Anyone who doesn't think nepotism is insidious should be forced to listen to the broadcast of this game on a continual loop. The only thing worse than Dave Neal's babbling attempt at play by play is Joe Dean's vapid analysis.
3. Mark Fox is a solid basketball coach. He's also a dead ringer for Joey Styles. I keep waiting to look over at the UGA bench and see him interviewing Raven.
4. Tennessee wasted a tremendous halfcourt defensive effort by failing to get back on defense. Georgia wouldn't have even been competitive without the runout baskets.
5. Being in the 20 turnover range against a team that plays containment defense like Georgia is just horrific. It stands as a monument to how terrible UT's ballhandling really is at this point.
6. Jordan McRae might as well explore his transfer options. He can't get on the floor ahead of Skylar McBee and Coach Martin has two more wings coming in next year. It's just not going to work out for him in Knoxville.
7. Cam Tatum is the poster child for Bruce Pearl recruits. The only thing more staggering than his total lack of instinct for the game is his unwillingness to go all out to make plays in big situations. Kenny Hall hipchecking a guy directly in front of Ted Valentine when he's on an illegal check calling rampage was also a testament to the basketball IQ Pearl recruited to the program.
8. Skylar McBee played as terrible defensively as is humanly possible. Gerald Robinson is a good SEC player. McBee turned him into a young Vince Carter attacking the rim.
9. Jarnell Stokes is going to be dominant next season. Once he chisels off the fat, he'll be the Chicago Years version of Charles Oakley.
10. The game was over at 40-35 and UT managed to pitch it away. It'll be incredibly tough to bounce back from kicking one like that. Hopefully, playing the defending national champs will help with the process of regaining focus.
