Need to get payback on Michigan for knocking us out of the tournament in 2011, 2014 and 2022 and their coach
beating us at Florida Atlantic in the tourney in 2023.

The 2014 game was really tough. They called Jarnell Stokes for that offensive foul after we cut the lead to 2 I believe. They had Stauskas and Levert on that team. Let’s go get em

I'm not worried about Mara as our size will bother him: Lendeborg is the guy we need to neutralize.... also Boswell can't let Elliott Cadeau go off for a 40 piece

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Win it for Bruce.

Boswell can handle Cadeau. We need Nate to be great. He needs to attack Lendeborg and not play passive. This is it! Leave it all on the court

Iowa St was a 4 1/2 point favorite and we won by 14… Michigan an 8 1/2 point favorite so we win by 10!

 

[omghulkhands]

Win it for Bruce.

Win it for Wes

People were so confident we were going to lose it’s kinda insane. I believe in this group! 40 minutes

 

[EasternVol]

Win it for Bruce.

He's far down the list of who to win it for.

 

[IndianaVol]

We need to fuel rumors tomorrow about Dusty May leaving for UNC and get them distracted...hahahaaa

Seriously though, when Barnes calls it done in a couple years, Danny White needs to make May say no.

You're my kind of mathematician.

 

[All Vol!]

Win for Pedro.

 

[ochocinco]

I like the 1h under should be like 68.5. Took a hit on 1h under tonight tho.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

He's far down the list of who to win it for.

But his loss was the 30 point beat down. Despite all of his flaws, he didn’t deserve to lose like that in his final game.

We’re gonna kill them

This is the math we should be teaching our kids. Lmao nicely done.

 

[Dougie_D]

Win it for TN history?

It was his own making. The players and fans are the ones who didn't deserve it.

I think UT has a 20% - 25% chance to win.

The formula:

1. Reverse the year long trend of turnovers / missing free throws. Turnovers under 10. Free Throw % at 75% or above with 20 plus attempts.

2. Play solid defense to keep the game in the 70s. If they score in the 80s we lose.

3. Big games from Ament and JG and a third scorer.

4. Rebound dominance on the offensive boards BUT make the bunnies.

 

[cwbytruckers]

I think against Michigan and people may think I'm crazy but i believe Berg and Evans will be key to us winning. Berg has really surprised me with his play. And Evans is just a stud out there and doesn't play timid. Berg at point lets JG do his thing off the ball. Lets also not forget the way Michigan tore up that (STOUT <--Blue Font) Alabama defense. We are not Alabama. And its going to be a war.
