Except for 3 or 4 turnovers, McRae had a really nice game. He only had 9 points, but he was drawing double and triple teams and dropped the ball off for easy buckets. Seems Tennessee plays better when McRae doesn't score as much and others get more involved as someone else has said.

McRae looked like he wasn't too happy afterwards. I think that he lies when he says getting his points arewn't important as long as they win. Cuonzo made him dribble out the last 20 seconds... he wanted a basket to get tp doublle digits. My guess is that he will regress next week, VA will blow TN out, but McRae will score 25 or more. I hope not, but I think that he's not used to being told what to do on offense by any coach.

Reese looked like he can help. Wonder why they were quite about his status? Reese is a threat to knock down the wide open three. Not a lot on this team are. Even his misses at the three were good looks. Nearly made a couple more.

I guess Pops and Chievous have moved to the far end of the bench just past Edwards.

Wolfie has always wanted to see more of Edwards. He has looked like a player the little bit he has played.

McRae only played 19 minutes. He had 5 assists and probably would have had a couple more had an extra pass not been made, missed shots, or fouled shooters. This is how he has to play in order for the team to win. Once the scouting report on him indicates that he will in fact give the ball up to open teammates then he will be able to score more easily himself. When he won't give it up he'll draw double and triple teams and force shots.
Four turnovers and only one rebound in his 19 minutes. I still think that he had one of his better games even without puffy stats. He should get an assist every three or four minutes he plays if he cares about winning.
