Gritty.  I thought we would find a way to lose all the way up until Turner pulled down that last rebound.

Interesting that Barnes extended the bench early- Pons, Walker, Darrington usually only play in garbage time if at all, but they all got in in the first half and all contributed tonight.

You took my thought/word... Gritty. If Walker & Pons step up, Vols could make a nice run imo.

Note how our offense basically ground to a halt when Bone went to the bench with two fouls.  He's really our only guy capable of generating any ball movement and getting our bigs good looks in the paint.  With him out, we just stand around the perimeter and launch 3's as the shot clock runs down. 

That's why it's so important that we land Anfernee Simons for next year.  I really think we're one good ballhandler away from being a Final Four contender.

It was a very solid win.  Junior might not be the most talented team, but they have a good coach and are hard to beat in Columbia.  I had this game as a tossup, so it's a good get.   :thumbup:
