He was a TO machine.

Some of this was him not being settled into his role, but a lot of times guys were just not looking for passes.

More playing time he got, the better all of the above got. Improved understanding of what he needs to do to help win, but also improved chemistry with the other guys on the floor.

This will be forgotten in time, but benching cook was one of the ballsiest & most spot-on decisions coach made all year.

Regardless whether he is knicked up or not, Cook has scoring potential but is a low energy player, bad defender, and appears to have an attitude problem — he’s the anti-Hannibal.

He probably could be a good football player, but he clearly loves basketball. He may not be good enough for the NBA, but I think he's good enough to play pro ball. I'm very happy for him, and I will be pulling for him to make an NBA squad. No doubt that he will bust his butt to try. He will succeed in life one way or the other!

Just imagine if Cook had Hannibal's desire, team first attitude, and REFUSING to quit mentality.

This is his separator in my opinion. His ball handling and decision making (for the most part) was excellent last night.

Hannibal has no business playing in the SEC.

But I'm glad he doesn't listen to the bullshite from dummies like me and I'm sure uses it to fuel his performance.

I don't think he can be a vital cog of a team that wins a national championship, but if this program continues to evolve like it's begun to recently, we'll look back on Trey as one of the guys who jump started it.

I've been a Tiger since 1977, and he's one of my top 5 favorite Tigers since then.

While different players in many ways, he reminds me of Anthony Hickey as far as a Tiger who while small, plays with a ton of confidence at the point.

I hope he’s rubbing off on Mike Williams.

Hunt called Hannibal being the most critical piece during his show yesterday. His analysis was spot on.

If you watched the game last night, no additional words were needed.

It was enjoyable watching him last night. He definitely left it all on the court

Just an appreciation/acknowledgement post from the night of the game. BBall gets a game thread but not a scoreboard.

Admittedly a low effort post that led to some good comments. Will try to do better for you next time
