Today was just inexplicable to me. You could tell at halftime these guys did not want to win. Even during timeouts, they just stood around and looked blankly around. No talking. No strategizing. No emotion. They looked as if someone told them they were going to be executed following the game, regardless of outcome. Did Rick Barnes even stand up? I have played basketball forever, obviously not at this level, but I have never saw an energetic group like this, look like that. Emotionally spent? Ok. But, the entire thing was in place for them. The fans were looking for anything to get excited for.
I take full blame. This was the first Tennessee basketball game I've attended this year. Running through the Marriott lobby telling UK fans to "head north" and asking a MSU fan if their player was still in ICU, karma was bound to slap me
