I like underdog. Basketball rankings are meaningless.

Check out this garbage, we are 9-0 and the new rankings have us behind 2 loss Ohio State, 2 loss Michigan State, 2 loss Houston, 2 loss UNC, 2 loss Tennessee, 2 loss Villanova. What a bunch of crap.

It was good to see them get down early in the game and just not panic.

The game was hardly competitive toward the end. Wouldn’t really call it a rally.

Outscored Ga Tech 47-17 over the last 21:44 of the game. That’s amazing. This team looks like it may be better than the 1981 Final Four team.

Um, the 9-0 start is probably factoring in to the the comparisons. This team is good enough to make a run. Just gotta get hot at the right time and have some bounces go our way.

We had 7 points on the board with a little over 7 minutes left in the first half and stormed back. Great job Tigers!

Shoot below 40%, and you still dominate the 2nd half. If this team shoots anywhere close to 50%, they will be extremely hard to beat.
