They got some good players, them Tigers. They run up and down the court so fast, it makes my head spin. I remember back when they was always on the TV, years ago. I'd watch with my husband, bless his heart. He sure loved his basketball. He'd be hollerin' at the screen, just like me these days!

They had that game on ESPN, I think. It was a good one, you know. One of the best games I have seen in a while. Those boys played real hard, you can see that.

Them VCU Rams, I ain't seen 'em play much before. But they got some fight in 'em. They was keepin' up with the Tigers, point for point, most of the game. They was good, I gotta give 'em that.
I seen they was wearing those black and yellow uniforms. Looked kinda like a bumblebee, if you ask me. But they played good, even if their outfits was a little funny lookin'.
