BasketVols: The Joy of Disappointment
gate21.net 3/28/2008 — In the end, a win by Tennessee against Louisville would have helped the BasketVols take one more step forward, but the loss isn’t a step backward. Coach Pearl summed it up best when he recounted what he told the players after the game: “Tonight could have added to this season, but in no way did it didn’t detract from it.“
Tournament Keeps Moving

Gate 21
I somehow managed to miss these yesterday in the run-up to the game against Louisville, but the boys over at Awful Announcing have discovered a site with pictures of Bruce Pearl from his high school yearbook, with a Superfly afro.
All I can say to that hairdo is … “ Baaauun-Chicka-Baaun-Chow “
Man, I find more reasons to like Bruce Pearl everyday…

As expected UNC-Louisville set for a 9:05 PM ET tip on Saturday night….and we thought Thursday was a long day.
Watching Tennessee play Lousiville last night I was actually hoping UT would find a way to win that game since I think UNC would flat run the Vols right out of downtown Charlotte. As much as we talked about “ugly” basketball from WSU and teams in the Pac 10 ...

In the East Regional, the forgotten team is Washington State. With UNC blowing away everyone and fans salivating over the Tennessee-Louisville game, the Cougars are right under the radar. That happens. Carolina and the Vols are relatively close to Charlotte, the site of the games, with Louisville not tremendously far away. Pullman, WA may as well be on the other side of the planet. Still, ...
