#1 Kansas @ #16 Tennessee

• slingshot4ever

  4 PM on CBS. Kansas is coming off a tough home win against Cornell. Tennessee is down to 6 scholarship players.
  
  Kansas by 15.
  
  Thoughts?

  Tennessee can keep it close if they play with the intensity they did Wednesday night. They will struggle with KU's inside play, but they still have the talent with Hopson, Chism, Prince, Woolridge, Maze and a few others to compete. If this game gets above the 60's, it's lights out for UT.
  
  If this team somehow gets Tatum and Goins back at minimum, I honestly am not sure they lose a whole lot. The biggest problem is right now, without Goins and Tyler Smith, they have no true distributor. Bobby Maze isn't a true PG, and they haven't had a quality one since C.J. Watson.

  My guess is that this game will stay close for 10 or so minutes, maybe even most of the first half, but then it's Rock Chalk to the bank. The loss of Smith alone really hurt the Vols chances in this game. The Cornell game was an anomaly; KU is scary good when playing to their potential. And they seem to do that more times than not.
  
  I'm in a good mood to watch college hoops today. It's that lull part of Sunday afternoon, the ground is covered with snow that's sure to turn to slush and dirt soon and I just got back from finishing up some work at the office. If Tyler Smith's delusional bout of thinking he was Ike Clanton ruins this game, I'm going to be pissed.

  I like the energy thus far from the Vols, just doubt they can keep it up with only 9 players dressed.

  That didn't take long. Click.

  Kansas is looking good so far. Getting more and more excited about the matchup with Texas in about a month.

  This games annoying as a KU fan..Tennessee is garbage and is hitting garbage shit.
• reclegend22

  

  OK, OK.
• slingshot4ever

  Aldrich needs to get it going.

  Shades of Chris Lofton.
  
  We have a game -- for now. Just like I suspected. Can Tennessee's emotion carry them to a victory, or at least take this game to the wire?
• wildcats20

  

  I thought this might be a trap game for Kansas, before the suspensions.
  
  If the Vols can have a lead going into the 2nd half, I think they are in pretty good shape.
• slingshot4ever

  Good close to the half for Kansas.
• slingshot4ever

  Tied at 33
• wildcats20

  

  Big 3 with about 4 seconds left to tie it up. Kansas will probably run away with it now that they have the mo.

  POS refs
  
  That was a rejection
• wildcats20

  

  The Vols are completely outplaying Kansas right now.
• slingshot4ever

  Hard to stop a team that hits around 50% from the field.
• SportsAndLady

  

  For Christs Sake Bill Self, put a fucking defender in that cocksuckers face...he's his 4 fucking 3s
• hoops23

  

  Tennessee is butt raping Kansas right now.
• slingshot4ever

  Chism and prince both have 4 fouls now....13 minutes still left in the game.
• wildcats20

  

  Chism's 4th is bigger than Prince's IMO.
• slingshot4ever

  Wow, great play by Collins.
• slingshot4ever

  Agreed Wildcats. Prince is still a starter though.
• wildcats20

  

  Should have been a jump, both players had possession.
• SportsAndLady

  

  These refs blow..and they're probably screwing Tennessee over more than KU.
