The Official #5 Tennessee vs. Louisville Game Thread, 5:00 PM ET, ESPN2

Sometimes the Ice Man gets a little cold lol.

I could tell he was gonna miss from watching him get ready for the shot. Did not look confident. I am, however, confident that he will be back to his stone cold killing ways. Heck, he kinda was tonight.

Lamonte was huge tonight. Not sure we win by 11 pts without his big 3's in the last 10 minutes

Score wise a close game, but we dominated. It would’ve been a dog fight to the end the past few years. I feel pretty good about the way they’re handling things. I know Louisville is no power house this year but we’re tough inside and stout!

GBO!!!

UL shot 3's and made them , which kept them in the game.

Fulkersons mask gave him superpowers

Now I just need the Grizz to get the W against the Spurs tonight

Absolutely. And the Predators need to beat the Blues.

Yep glad to see him back and be significant.

Great win. Looking forward to the next one on Friday.

One thing, I noticed we only shot 64% from the free throw line (16-25).

Here are the final stats.

That has to change. Not good

 

[Vols All Day]

It was good seeing Fulkerson hit double digits. It was obvious the guys have built trust in him on the offensive end. Now all we need is for him to become consistent.

 

[ttocswob]

May not be Kansass...down 9 at the half.

 

[vols 30]

Not so fast on the UT-Kansas game. Marquette up at the half

 

[zaqhhh]

Another 3 pt team bode well for us? I assume Marquette is stronger in the post than Louisville though.

I noticed their big guys hug the perimeter though...

I loved his agressiveness! He attacked the rim! Love it!

That Turner air-balled free throw though. lol

Rick Barnes on the Turner air ball after the game: "That thing needed a 5 mile per hour wind behind it to get to the rim."

Haha proof that practice free throws and game time free throws are 2 different things.

We need To playKansas to get any respect. No UT- UL game highlights during halftime of KS- Marquette game?? WTH, we're ranked 5 Th and they show every other Top 25 game besides ours? Still no respect from the ESPN dirty bastards

 

[walkenvol]

If we play and beat Marquette, will we not move into the top 3?

 

[SJAVol32]

I’m happy to be wrong on Fulky. If he’s going to play that well and be the hustle guy, we have a real shot at making a run.

That's funny. U all know that was Turner's first ft attempt this year in a game, in Brooklyn, plus it was even more awkward because it was a tech. Turner shot 88% from the line last year and is the definition of clutch. Sh!t happens, Turner won't airball another ft in his career at UT

I just watched the replay and saw that. No kidding, on the Tech too. Free throw Air balls are rare, but not as rare as doing it when you’re the only dude on the court.

This is a very good Tennessee team. Some of their set plays are beautiful
