Some thoughts on Tennessee

I would like to thank Tennessee for beating Memphis and then losing to Vanderbilt. Let it be known that Memphis would probably beat Vanderbilt by 15 or so. Now UNC can get the Number 1 seed in the east regional, which has plenty of good ramifications that I choose not to get into. Now for some thoughts.

• One dimensional 3 point shooters make for some really good college basketball players. Have fun in Europe Shan Foster and Chris Lofton. Where have I seen a player like you before?

Oh yea!

• Vanderbilt's (arguably) best player, Freshman center AJ Ogilvy, played 12 minutes and had 4 points and 3 boards. He averages around 17 and 7 a game. And they still beat the "number 1" team in the nation.
• If you take Foster and Jermaine Beal out of the equation, the Commodores shot 1 for 11 from 3. Oddly enough, if you take Chris Lofton out of the equation (a different equation, i suppose), the Vols also shot 1 for 11 from 3. Quality shooting performance by both sides, clearly.
• On any given night, the Vols can beat any team. They are very deep, and are like a combination of Duke and Memphis; They have tremendous athletes and can shoot from deep. However, they can also brick all there free throws (see Memphis) or go cold from deep (Duke), which makes them an entirely beatable team.
• Vanderbilt's court is set up absurdly and clearly had a major influence on the game. Bruce Pearl was about to have a stroke.
• UNC should be Number 1 in the upcoming polls, and they have Ty Lawson coming back. Things are looking up in Chapel Hill. Full disclosure, I go to UNC, so I am biased/ quite pleased about this.
