Don’t know him.

Good luck with that. Might get you to forth in the SEC.

Arkansas should hire slick Rick...











...Stansbury

Someone is going to hire Kelvin Sampson

Oats sounds like a great hire to me

Sampson has a job. He's corrupt as fuck though. Wouldn't want that in my program.

Why do you hate Indians?

I don't like the dot on their foreheads.

So eCat or any UK fan (or Tennessee fan for that matter), tell me about Auburn. I know they lost a close game to Duke, no shame in that and it was in November, but then they lost to NCState (who just got beaten by Lipscomb last night in the NIT). I also see they lost 3 in a row early in the SEC schedule, all of them close, but still, then you guys beat them by 27 in Lexington more recently but they haven't lost since. All of their wins except against UT in the SEC title game and then again Kansas have been by less than 10 points and most of them 5 or less. So it's not like they're blowing people out, but they are obviously capable of it against good teams (not that Kansas was that good this year, but still, that first half against them was a behing-the-woodshed type of beating). Anyway, any opinions or insights are welcome (even from Rat, I know he keeps a squinty eye on Tennessee, so maybe he got some impressions)...

It's simple. They live by the 3 and they die by the 3. They are fun to watch though when everything clicks. Very impressive since the SEC tourney started.

yep, defend the 3 and you win

but they will light you up if you let them

We have not been very good at defending the 3 this year...

They go fast. Full speed. Threes or layups. Nothing in-between.

Like was said earlier, perimeter defense and handing their transitions.

Sounds like mid-90's UK...

What happened in the UK game where UK beat them by 27? Was UK just playing lights out or did Auburn implode (or both)?

they went 8/27 on 3 pointers ad were outrebounded 42-24

I think UNC has defended the 3 better than any UNC team of recent vintage. Since late January at least

I'm not as worried about Auburn. Their time is about to come to an end. I think that Kentucky is going to be a tough nut to crack for Carolina. So much size inside

"they went 8/27 on 3 pointers ad were outrebounded 42-24"

8 for 27 isn't horrendous, but the rebounding margin is. Luckily, we are a pretty good rebounding team and evidently Auburn is not. Hope we get a lot of second and third chance points...

I don't see UNC losing to Auburn

Houston will be a tougher out for UK than Auburn for UNC
