Think you are right - Trae needs to show up big time. Darnell will bounce back.

Me neither..Pressey is twice the guard they faced at Aubie and it seemed they had no defense against his dribble penetration. At any rate, Stokes or Hall must get over and help Golden when he blows by and block his shot or make him eat the bb..

Look at it this way -- if we can't beat Mizzou at home, we don't deserve to be in the Big Dance.

this is, for all practical purposes, a tournament game for us. We win, and advance, lose and we are almost certainly out. Mizzou is im-Pressey-ve, and their bigs can be tough..but, for some reason, they just dont click on the road.. Hoping that trend continues today..

It is a must win game. Tennessee's SOS went from around mid 20's to the low 50's now after playing UGA and Auburn. They really need this win to help their RPI. Kentucky winning today didn't help Tennessee's cause a bit since we are competing with them for those last few spots to get in.

Yeah, thanks for that. I totally missed the game because I read 8:00 this morning. Sounds like it was a good one and the final outcome is what we wanted.

Wow, Wes. You NAILED each of these three keys. Pressey with a big gaffe at the end, UT with a slight edge in free throws made, and dominant rebounding. I didn't read this until afterwards, but it pretty much summed up how the game was won. Bravo.
