Playing without probably our best defender, that 2nd half comeback was amazing. Sure we were out of sorts in the first half, but TN, with out of their minds hot 3 point shooting, were going to have a big first half lead on any team in the country. If we’d had a healthy Toney, the the first half deficit would still have been double digits, but wouldn’t have been 21. I feel certain, we would have completed the comeback if he’d been healthy.
Now, I really hope Muss doesn’t even think about playing Toney in the insignificant SEC tourney unless his ankle is 100%. I’d much rather go 0-1 in the SEC tourney if it means having a healthy Toney for the NCAA tourney. And we will still have a decent shot of winning that first game in the SEC Tourney without Toney.
