++++++Official Boogs vs Tennessee Championship Game Thread++++++

[MomentInTheSun]

Not much to say as we beat these try hard trash losers just seven days ago. Time to fugg shit up and spoil their sec title hopes again and bring home two titles in two years.

Legggggoooooo

In Bruce and Jared we trust

 

[Harvey Specter]

I want to tackle Grant Williams

I want to tackle Grant Williams

He has like a Tim Tebow quality about him where he genuinely is probably a nice guy, but he’s just annoying and stupid too

 

[Denim Vest]

I had sort of already made it ok with losing to the Cats. Well that’s out the window gonna need that dub in my life.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

I hope someone punches the shit out of Williams

That's what bench scrubs are for if we get a 20 points lead (or if they do I guess)

I just want one of those games that Williams is the one in foul trouble instead of the reverse. Feels like in the pre-SEC season he had quite a few games where he got quick whistles and was benched for foul trouble. Feels like the last 2 months he bangs on everyone and get the benefit of all the calls and it's about to drive me crazy.

Anyone think Austin gets at least 10 minutes tomorrow? So tired of Mac just doing jack crap this tourney

He would have had to vs Reid Travis. I'm not sure he can play vs the starting Vols lineup. Maybe he comes in when they bring in some other bigs that don't really shoot it from outside. I don't like him getting stuck on the perimeter with Grant and god forbid Schofield.

I'd be tempted to start Horace but maybe we just let Ant pick up 2 fouls in the first 4 minutes and let the game settle a bit before we bring in Ho Daddy.

 

[wcw3au1]

Let Mac get his 3 then spot time. No need in messing up the juju!

 

[Harvey Specter]

Someone posted UT -5

 

[wcw3au1]

+4.5 and 149.5.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

For the love of god beat that trash team tomorrow.

 

[demeat]

Demeat’s prediction
AU 86
UT 83

So far this tourney my predictions have been very close to reality. Can I go 4 for 4?

 

[MomentInTheSun]

Wonder what type of sleep program Bruce has the HYGs on tonight. My guess is lights out at 9

8:45 for everyone but SBJ, he gets to stay up til 9:30

 

[Harvey Specter]

Hopefully have the HYGs in some sensory deprivation chambers

Dale Brown had a squad at LSU that played 4 straight days & Corch Brown did not sleep until the Sunday night after the SEC tournament was over. Showed those young tigers it’s all about the mindset. Players coach just like BRUCE. Also coached them to two Final Fours.

Anfernee has gone 7 games I believe without getting more than 3 boards. I just watched a condensed youtube cause I missed the 2nd half coaching youth soccer and Sonny pointed out a couple of times "he's not even jumping". It's a bad look. He had one hot shooting game in that 7 game span, of course we're also unbeaten in that stretch. I don't know what to make of his game right now.

Malik has had consecutive stinkers now. Expect him to be better tomorrow. You can't keep that handsome, explosive stud down for long.

Chuma was the best player on the court last time we played these guys. If he's that again we're lifting a trophy tomorrow afternoon boys.

If we are in a zone, I think Austin can help us. He can't man up with Williams and follow him around the perimeter, but in a zone he could help us keep that asshole from eating our lunch in the paint. If he could give us 5-7 mins in the first half of solid paint D and another 5-7 in the 2nd half, it could make a huge difference. The good news is that UT shot the lights out in Auburn and we still beat them. If they shoot worse tomorrow and Austin can keep Williams in check for a few stretches in the paint, that would increase our odds.

We need the refs tomorrow to not give Williams the damn MJ treatment. He is an oaf who bangs around and should always be in foul trouble. At Auburn, they whistled us everytime we looked at him wrong. A decently called game tomorrow would also go a long way towards giving us a shot to pull out a W.

Agreed on Mac. He has been terrible at everything other than outside shooting where he has still helped us. We can't have our 5 out there not getting any boards and playing terrible D though. UT outrebounded us 39-27 in Auburn, but we won turnovers 13-5. Would be nice if we could close that gap in boards tomorrow a little.

Really need Malik to show up tomorrow and I think he will. We are so much better when he is on his game. Samir has been great the whole tourney so hopefully he gives us a 4th solid effort tomorrow as well.

Definitely need Chuma to replicate his game from Auburn. He was the best player in the gym and we will need him to give us that effort again. UF frustrated him today crashing down with doubles and the refs let them get away with tons of contact.

 

[DM8]

For the love of god beat that trash team tomorrow.

Thanks brAUh. Going to be tough to deprive those assholes of an SEC title twice in 8 days, but our guys are locked in and playing their best ball. Rain 3s, get Chuma working in the paint, and turn them over 15+ times and we can pull it off.

I pray he can. I’m done with Mac! I hope this is his last year. He has 1 rebound in the SEC tournament.........ONE!!!!!!!!! That 1 rebound came against Missouri. He is god awful!

if they let Austin play defense with his chest, and body the shit out of anyone who gets near him on either end the same way they do Williams, he can stay on the court tomorrow... if they don’t, he’s not going to be a lot of help

I don’t feel nearly as good about tomorrow as I did last Saturday... the good news is, we didn’t beat them because we played over our heads or they sucked - we just slugged it out with them for 40 minutes and were the better team... plus, we’ve won 7 in a row, and only Miss St was iced early enough that we could coast... but even counting it, that’s 7 straight that we locked down and did everything we needed to do to make winning plays and WIN the game at the end... we’ve built some good habits, and as long as we’ve got the legs to go 40 minutes, we’ll have the confidence to close it out

just get to the last 6 minutes within 5 and I’ll take my chances - but that will be easier said than done

 

[Muttonchop]

Boogs, smack that Tennessee trash off the floor, tomorrow. Cannot stand that punk Williams

Its going to be a huge challenge. Would be great if the refs decide to forget they love Grant and call some fouls on him early. Getting him into foul trouble would make our lives drastically easier.

Agreed on this team learning to win. We lost so many close games through the middle part of the year because we could not close out a game. Thrilled to see we figured that out just in time. Denying UT an SEC title for the 2nd time in 10 days would be epic. This time all the more so given that we'd be winning one in the process.

 

[Harvey Specter]

Bump for championship Sunday and selection Sunday

wake up boner heads. Fourth straight days of Boog hoops and we gonna get this get this get his historic Dub for two straight SEC titles. LEGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Legs are a worry for sure. 4 games in 4 days is brutal and we have played with real intensity and pace. Vols haven't been able to coast either and playing UK can wear your ass down so maybe we're both a bit leggy. Likely an advantage for them though and we're going to have to overcome that with some hot stretches of shooting.

This could really go any way. Either team could come out leggy and missing all kinds of shots and get run. I'd expect a semi-ugly grind but who knows. Part of me wants to beat them on a controversial call (and actually controversial one this time) on the final possession just to watch their entire fanbase freakout.

[jeramye]

Looks about right by the numbers. If you had told me 2 months ago we were going to be about a 5 seed in the NCAA's and were going to be playing in the SECT title game with around a 40% chance of winning I'd have kissed you on the mouth.

 

[Harvey Specter]

Seems like we’ve been a little off offensively in the first half in all three games. Hope we make this our one fast start of the tournament. Don’t want to play catch-up with this team

Words cannot express how much I love that man.

He’s everything Auburn isn’t and it feels like a dream that he’s OUR corch.

Fast start, chuma playing well, and playing mclemore as little as possible are the keys to victory. Let’s gooooo!

Mac and Dunbar still starting.

Agree. Coming out hot would be huge for a number of reasons. It's a 90% UT crowd according to some at the game so taking their crowd out of it would be a big factor.
