The Official #4 Tennessee vs #14 Alabama Game Thread, Saturday 8pm/ESPN

[vegasvolfan]

Go Vols!!!

 

[Volstylexx]

James just can’t shoot the friggin ball. He’s had a handful of good games this year. Just plays with absolutely no confidence.

 

[JCP201]

Now we need a drink and a cigar!!

I saw ZZ smoking a fake one.

 

[Just a VolinTears]

When we were down, when we were tested......JAHMAI, ZAKAI, SANTI, AIDOO, DALTON
when were down 7 in the second half, i thought it was over, best ive felt in a while

Dude was talking like Arizona has to falter for the Vols to have any shot at the last 1 seed. I'm sorry but if go 4-0 vs Auburn, Bama, SC, and UK...that should be a freaking lock for #1 seed - regardless of what happens in the SEC tourney.

No he wasn’t. He literally said the other 3 were basically locked and Arizona was the one who may drop. Come on…..

 

[volplaya8]

Big win! Let’s keep it rolling..what ya say

 

[volsarelife1]

Biggest takeaway for me is that the rest of the team stepped up when needed when Knecht didn't have his usual takeover game. That was much needed as a team and could be beneficial come tournament time.

 

[NOLACHUCKEYTOM]

Gotta believe that DK won't be held as much in NCAA as he has been in SEC!

 

[Tenacjim]

As I said. We’re the better TEAM

We are. AND DK is better than Sears!

 

[Volinnooga]

Doesn’t always show up in the stats, but Santi and JJJ made some big plays

 

[vols 30]

Turnovers 12-6 !!!

Biggest stat of the game. We got 17 points off those Turnovers

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

6 points for a senior playing in a huge game. Wtf are you talking about

Double double good with you?

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Nah, nobody is respecting South Carolina and they just keep winning. If we can get back up I think we will be fine but it want be easy on the road. I think the two road games grade the toughest.

That’s the way I see it. Kentucky doesn’t play a lick of defense, so it will come down to making our shots and pressuring their looks.


The two games that really stand out in this stretch and should in the eyes of the committee, are Bama and USCe. Two road games against top tier competition.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Bilas always sounds disappointed when Tennessee wins.

Well, I like to think it’s because people appreciate good basketball instead of his whiny attitude about a team that plays physical

That 3 that JJJ hit late was huge

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

8 points and 7 rebounds in the first half - gladly take 16 & 14 from him!

Dude disappeared when we started winning

 

[Tenacjim]

You got that right! 2 out of the final 4 tough games are in the bag. SC and UK on the plate. Regular season championship is really only one game away.

Isn’t there a thread out there about “can we win 2”? Yes, we can!

 

[volroadwarrior]

Take that Bitchin And Moaning Bama!

Yeah I am in the dog house because I yelled at the top of my voice-**CK BAMA about 10 times as those smug mfs silently left their seats. Gave Bilas the Red Ass too. Great ugly game by ZZZ JJJ Mashack. Gainey also had his moments.

 

[GAVol]

Knecht passing out of a double team and then swinging it to JJJ for the dagger from the corner was as good as it gets.

 

[DC_Vol]

Doesn’t always show up in the stats, but Santi and JJJ made some big plays

I don’t understand why so many here have been hard on JJJ tonight. He had a double double

 

[Vol_in_NC_1999]

I saw ZZ smoking a fake one.

That looked more like a joint

 

[Just a VolinTears]

2-0 with rogue game threads........

 

[WillisWG]

I might not be the best at math, but it looks to me like if we beat South Carolina, it guarantees us a share of the SEC Championship at minimum.

Wednesday we pluck the chickens

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Isn’t there a thread out there about “can we win 2”? Yes, we can!

Slow down buddy. We still have two very tough games left. I think we go 1-1. Which I'd be happy with

 

[FlVols]

We just won two. Now let's win 2 more this next week.
