Bruce Pearl is speaking to the media Tuesday morning to preview Wednesday night's game at Tennessee. Here's a recap...
** Pearl said tomorrow is advocacy day to protect IVF. Steven Pearl and his wife have been involved with IVF for a couple of years trying to start a family. It's been a private matter but we've decided to speak out. It's been a difficult process. Because of what's gone on with the Alabama Supreme Court not understanding that IVF is about creating life. Pearl is calling on all three branches of the state government to make Alabama tho most pro-family state in the country. Government is supposed to help families. The group is meeting at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday on steps at state capital. Pearl would be there if he wasn't traveling with team to Knoxville.
** It's almost March and we're still playing for a championship. Not many teams can say that. UT is best team in league. They can shoot and have guys that can protect the rim. One of best defensive teams in country. It was a 46-45 rock fight last time we went up there.
** Dalton Knecht is going to get his, you just don't want him to go off. He can do it all on both ends of floor. He's a matchup problem. One of biggest guards our guards will face and one of the most athletic forwards our forwards will face. They've got great pieces around him.
** Jaylin Williams will travel. It's possible he could play tomorrow. He moved around better yesterday than we thought he would. Will be game-time decision.
** Aden Holloway did great at UGA. UT's older, more experienced guards are going to be all over him and make his looks difficult. Proud of him for staying in the fight. He knows his teammates and coaches never stopped believing in him.
** Chad Baker-Mazara is clearly one of our top three players and he was the best player on the floor at UGA. He's a playmaker, smart defender, plays hard and is a great locker room glue guy. CBM is on the list of the best players you've never heard of from a national perspective.
** UT is a great transition team. Get great looks and 3-point shots out of their defense.
** Coach Rick Barnes is a Hall of Fame coach. He continues to be one of the best in college basketball.
*****THAT'S ALL*****
