Tennessee For real at #1

This is a follow up to my previous article "Is Tennessee for real?"

The question got answered tonight, Tennessee is for real!

Can you believe with Chris Lofton having no three pointers, yes zero threes for Chris, Tennessee pulled off arguable the greatest win in Volunteer basketball history.

The fact that Lofton only scored 7 points, even though 4 of those points were crucial to Tennessee's win, is a testimony to Tennessee being a number one team. When your best three point shooter is down and you still win against the number one team in the nation, then you can truely say "We are for real". You can also say that has pulled these guys togather as a team that can play even when one of their finest is down. This is what teamwork is all about. With Chism,Prince, The Smiths and Lofton and the rest, this team has no stars but they are all stars.

It was a great game to watch and everything you would expect from a #1 vs #2 matchup. Truly Tennessee can now be taken seriously. They rose to the occasion and proved to us all they deserve to be called No. 1

I know it might be early to predict. there is still plenty of b-ball to be played. But I predict you will see Tennessee playing in the final four and most likely in the championship game. Against who? Your guess is as good as mine.
