If Alabama's kicker had hit his kick then would UT fans still feel good about themselves? Just think how flimsy sports bliss is? Just one kick!!!!! lol
I didn’t say which team! Hahaha! Seriously though that IU basketball they have never experienced with the UT level at Bloomington when they have been there! This year!
awesome for them! We had a neighborhood party that day and in the midst of prepping for that, I didn't have that game on! I thought it was the late game anyway, but glad for Rocky Top. It's been a long time for them... sorta like another program I know!Trayce Jackson-Davis, Race Thompson on field after Tennessee win, hang with Peyton Manning

If Smart doesn’t make the shot “it was bucket”, we don’t win a National championship, that year in Bloomington loses much of its awesomeness (for me).
There’s a photo from when Smart hit “the shot” as it’s going through the hoop and you’ll notice that IU had all 4 other players surrounding the hoop for the rebound. They were in position and there was enough time for a put back if he missed. That team like all Knight teams was fundamentally sound.
I don't really know what the implications would have been of Wat missing, but it was a regular season game, just as the UT vs Bama game was, so I think it's comparable. It was really just a great moment for 2 programs that had lost their national luster.
glad we don't have to worry about the rebound! Here's the pic and while we are in good position, I'd not agree all 4 IU guys had their guy blocked out and were in good position. The most likely "miss" from the baseline would be to the opposite side where it looks to me like Seikaly has Garrett blocked out. Hillman and Thomas have good position and Seikaly might be too far under the basket, but I think he has the best position if there was a rebound to be had! Fortunately, there was not!
Dean Garrett and Daryl Thomas were on either side of the basket in very good position.
I think Seikaly might be too far under. It depends on how far the ball bounces off and if Garrett can react faster. Ultimately, I like our chances better than Syracuse. It comes up short and Thomas is right there.glad we don't have to worry about the rebound!

Wow, that's some heavy duty editing and review work!They both got on the field after the game too.
Lmao. Tennessee football has arguably been worse than IU basketball the last 20 years…
They’re only like 18 or 19 years old dummy! And I didn’t say what team! Bama are winners! Lmao at YOU!
Saw it posted elsewhere and just reposted it.

That was the best one I saw that showed rebound position! I'll bet your search engine works too!

Knoxville is shitty
I’m sure they had a blast. What a great experience at the game and also in the locker room with Peyton Manning. Good for themTrayce Jackson-Davis, Race Thompson on field after Tennessee win, hang with Peyton Manning

UT Knoxville 2021 enrollment was 31, 700 - IU Bloomington 48,900. Other than a stadium that seats 102,000, nothing "big-time" about UT Knoxville. Nice town, but Bloomington beats it hands down in every other respect.
Knoxville is better than Lincoln, NB but not much. Same game day transformation though.
As long as the bound doesn't go as far out as the FT line, it goes right back up and in....likely on a dunk.
Knoxville has a population of 187,000 and a metro area of 870,000. Of course it makes Bloomington look like Mayberry.
It’s a town invested in its sports and they have not only more in attendance at football by a long shot but draw essentially the same as IU in basketball. Knoxville is nothing to write home about but we aren’t comparing aesthetics. We are talking environments: crowds, people and support for the two revenue sports. Bottom line, IU is a small-time operation compared to other universities.
Yep, "small-time" captures the spirit and reality of AH and IU BB perfectly.
Yes it does make them small time. No different than Duke or Villanova. The big time universities have big followings and good success in both. Say Wisconsin or Michigan State would be a benchmark? One sport doesn’t supersede another. Equal footing with good coaches at both and good, solid results.
