Three of the four top players in the Hoop Explorer ranking also were among the four players with the most minutes played. I see a lot of people here wanting a more dogmatic rotation (âplayer x has got to play at least y minutesâ) but Odom has been really good this year about finding and riding on the guys who are having good days, and I think that approach has been much more effective.

Automatic every game. We will step out of bounds on the sideline when receiving a pass. We will flub an alley oop. We will have 5-6 dribble drive turnovers. And yet, we find a way.

Little choice. Couldnât be paired w UNC or Louisville. I agree though, only really would have preferred a 4 against WI or Vandy.

Iâd rather play anyone other than Vandy bc Duke Miles would 100% go nuclear against us

Yeah, we weâre probably about even with Tenn, but Iâd consider us a clear underdog against Vandy, Arkansas, or St Johns. I think we could take a Toppin-less TT, but Iâm less confident of that.
I donât get how people donât think much of Arkansas. Half their losses were against top-10 teams, and they have wins against TT, Vandy, Louisville (with Brown), and Tenn.

Man it is always about the aisle seat
My takeaway from all these round of 32 games: you get no cushion for nerves. Come out swinging. Otherwise you are down.

Will be interesting to see which Tenn team we play tomorrow. They have soime great wins and bad losses. Very inconsistent season.

We will get the best version of their team - that always seems to happen to us.

Really excited about this one. Agree with @HoozGotNext that it has been a long stretch since we have been matched up in a true âcoin flipâ NCAAT game, and itâs fun to be in that position again.
Need to match their physicality, block out, and really limit turnovers (please stop the dribbling straight into the teeth of the D).
We got the first game nerves out- I think we will see some big time games from guys who struggled Friday. Go Hoos!
