I've got a caption for that photo of Cuonzo and the ref:

Don't overlook Josh Richardson's contribution tonight - D on that waterbug PG was big factor.

Richardson is the best defender Tennessee has.

Thought the refs were gonna rob us for a little while. It looked ugly late in the second half.

Wes, nice write up on the game. Not nitpicking, just trying to understand stats. If McRae was 10 of 15 with 6 of those being 3's, with 2 FT's, I'm just getting 28 pts. Where did the other 6 come from?

McRae was 13 of 18. Wes just made a typo... Again....
Just kidding, Wes. We still appreciate your contributions. Even though you do not post often in the game threads now.

Thanks woody. Only got to see the last 8 minutes of game after getting off work. I can squeeze 34 out of those stats. +1

I corrected McRae's shooting numbers.
McRae was 13-of-18 from the field. The team was 10-of-15 from 3-point range.

I wonder how long it will take him to tell Martin that this is the reason his team is playing so well...

Just saw where Darius Thompson PG from Murfreesboro (Blackman) decommitted from Vandy and has Vols in his top three. Would be a nice pickup for CCM.

This game would've been a blowout if the stripes hadn't kept LSU in it during the second half. I felt like that crew was lucky to have made it out of the Tommy Bowl unscathed tonight.

It's been taking me several tries to post anything in-game the past two games.
The students' smartphones have been jamming up the network, I think.
I'm talking to UT about it.

Hey, its fine by me. Keep screwing around as long as we are winning and playing as good as we have been. I just figured it was operator error at some point.

Who are these Vols? I remember Wes advising that no one should be looking for 70-80 point games with the current roster, etc.
The biggest positive has been Cach Martin's willingness to change his philosophy though he seemingly won't admit it. While he maintains that nothing is different and is vocal about his dislike of all things not man-to- man, nothing could be further from the truth. He might do himself a favor by showing his coaching prowess and admitting we needed to go a different direction which has clearly paid off. What a different team we are from just 2 weeks ago

Nice to know the board is so confident in me.
