Tennessee vs Florida tonight?

[elksnort]

Any thoughts?

Make em quick, tornados might be coming.

Who are you pulling for? Who will win?

[farhan]

I think Tennessee

[i like the # 7]

tenn

[hogsrule23]

At home you have to go with Tennessee.  They don't lose at home very often.  (Especially not to young inexperienced teams.) 


Of course anything can happen, but i don't see Florida coming out on top in this one.

[elksnort]

Due to the fact that they are both in the East, I guess we have no vested interest in who wins.

[Pcalitrack]

man Tennessee is forcing a lot of shots right now. Florida is looking good.

[EastMemphisHog]

yeah they look a little different than they did on Saturday.

[HOGSWEAT]

1 point shy of their first half total @ Arkansas

[mathhog]

GO FLORIDA!!

the more losses tennessee gets, the better chance the hogs have to win an outright sec title, if we still do well!

go FLORIDA!

PLUS, getting a victory over a team that gets a road win AT the #1 rpi team, would shoot our rpi up!

[Pcalitrack]

now Florida is getting sloppy

[ke2743]

yeah how well would it make us look if Florida blew Tennessee out by 20 or so?

Good point. Go Florida!

[Razorbacks_77]

Go Gators, make our win over you look even better!

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

Go Billy the kid D.!

Once Lofton and company got going it was over just after half.  Tennessee out scored the leaping lizards 101 - 64.    I think Florida had 48 a half to Tennessee's 44. 

We need to concentrate on our games and let the rest take care of itself.  Winning solves many problems.  We should win the West even with some tough games left.

[40MINSOFHELL]

we will be the team to beat tenn. at their place..tenn. isnt allowed to have home court advantage, i hate the color orange

[DaveV]

I wanna snap Tenn's 27 game home win streak next Wed SO bad! At the same time though I don't want our team to overlook an angry Ole Miss team looking to get back on track. Could be a trap game if we get caught looking ahead to a HUGE game. I'm thinking about making the trip to Knoxville, if we win Sat i'm almost certain to make it.

Do you have tickets?  I was thinking about it but could not find any tickets that were not over priced.  Thompson Bowling is sold out for every game this year according to their ticket site.

[crayola99]

This game doesn't affect Ark since we have to play them both.  I would rather Tenn win and us beat them, then vice versa. 

[The Realist]

Tennessee is averaging over 20k fans a game.  Tickets are high.  You can find scalpers outside.  I heard a scalper offering 35-45 tonight for upper deck. 
Tennessee is a tough place to play.  It was the loudest arena I have ever been in tonight.  At one point, I think the officials felt things were about to get out of control with the fans and the players because of the way they were calling touch fouls.  over 50 fouls total in the game.  After the flagrant foul on Florida officials really seemed to change the way they were calling things.  Arkansas will have to play great to win there.  And it will take 40 minutes.  Florida was up 16-3 tonight.  3 minutes later it was 23-18 after 5 straight 3's from Tenn.  To be honest, it was one of the funnest games I have ever been to with the crowd, players, and the way the game played out with so many different changes.

[DaveV]

No I don't have tickets yet i'm awaiting our outcome on Sat to determine if i'm going. If I do go i'll probably just scalp some tix. I believe I saw an array of tickets on stubhub or w/e Tenn's ticket outlet is. Upper deck 10 bucks and had tons for sale.

On the off chance you are talking about Metalocalypse +1

[wholehog92]

I really wish we were playing Tenner at home, that place was rediculously loud.  That FL kid is a rediculous passer almost a college version of J Kidd.  He is very impressive.  Lofton for Tenner is a weapon.  I wonder what it would look like with Washington guarding him?  Lofton isn't that impressive off the dribble, but a tall guy to shoot over off the screen could make a difference?  Just a thought after the way Bradley was shut down that time with a post player guarding him.

[The Realist]

Problem with Lofton is he will fake a drive and step back for 3.  All he needs is the 6 inches to get it off.  Texas tried doing it last year with Kevin Durant.  And Lofton went 7-16 from 3 point land including the game winner.

And to think a lot of posters on this board use to call him a spot shooter.  That fall away looks really sweet when he nails a 30 footer.  Weems is capable of hitting the fall away but I never have seen him use the move Lofton uses over and over.

[The Realist]

Lofton is the first player that I have seen that makes the arena almost start celebrating as he begins to shoot.  It's surprising if he doesn't make it.  His performance last night was amazing even with 6'6 Nick Calathes on him no matter where he was.  They picked up the defense on him 3 feet inside half court even when he didn't have the ball.

[wholehog92]

Paules for Duke is very similar to Lofton in that if he's open and shoots the crowd cheers....before he makes it.

That came from hard work for Paulus.  He was not that threat as a shooter last year, at least as I remember it.  His jump shot has gotten 10x better.

I thought he was pretty good last year, but your right, he's improved a lot this year.
