We don't win tonight without Josiah and Santiago

Santiago has taken a lot of crap for not taking as many jump shots, yet he still has a role on this team.

Dude plays defense and hustles hard.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

You can throw Mashack in there too.

 

[luthervol]

We are a complete team.

 

[VolArmy74]

Heck, JJJ is the player of the game imo. 11 points, 13 rebounds, and had to play the 5 a lot with our bigs in foul trouble.

 

[volplaya8]

Big JJJ double double…picking up slack for lack of big men on floor tonight

 

[OrangeInKy]

Santi coming up with those steals was pure beauty

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

We are a complete team.

Only real weakness is that we don't have a reliable option yet after Awaka. Estrella and Phillips both are gonna be good players, but they're just not ready yet.

 

[LivinginthePast]

We got in foul trouble and our bench showed up

Gosh it’s so hard to win a natty in basketball. Tournament is against you even as a one seed.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

JJJ had to step up bc aidoo was getting pushed.
Huge game , just shows the maturity of these guys playing roles at a high level.

JJJ had a double double, snatching a bunch of boards and playing really good D.

Santi with 3 steals - 75% of team total. And really good D.

There is a reason these vets get so much PT.

This team is built for the tourney and the combination of the pre-SEC & SEC schedule have prepared them for March. You always have to have some things go your way but they are ready I believe.

 

[Ratvol]

With this win, we beat the whole damn state of Alabama.

Go VOLS

Santi was also drawing up plays during the last timeout...

I hope you’re right my friend. We are ready for a long dance into April.

 

[Eastknox865]

This team really showed me something tonight. Really big win guys. GO VOLS

I think you could safely say we don't win without anyone who played, tonight. Everyone who played had a key play at some point, or provided valuable minutes with someone else in foul trouble.

 

[UTodd01]

Mashack, JJJ, Vescovi, and ZZ all played very well.

Aidoo, DK and Awaka did NOT.

Aidoo didn’t play bad at all

Crazy.

JJJ said Santi was the greatest basketball mind he has ever been around in a podcast.

Future coach IMO.

 

[Orange-U-Glad]

It got a little dicey when they were up 8 or 9. Bama held Knecht in check, but that last 5 minutes he took what they gave him, whether it was shot or a pass. He didn’t light it up, but contributed what he could.

And it worked

 

[TnVol!]

On a Tennessee Saturday night.

Aidoo didn’t play bad at all

Yeah, Aidoo had 12 and 7 while only playing 4 minutes in the first half.
