I heard any of those jackass analysts one more time trying to make excuses for Baylor and their “tired legs,” never once bothering to mention WE PLAYED THE LATE GAME!!! We played to well after midnight, probably didn’t get to sleep til 3 am or later and got easily 4 hours less rest than Baylor. Sheesh, what’s a Vol gotta do to get a little respect around here?!! 🏀🍊🧡

To be fair, Baylor was in a more competitive game that lasted 10 minutes of game time longer. They got more sleep, but Tennessee arguably got more rest by not needing to overexert themselves in the 2nd half vs Virginia and didn't play two additional periods.

Well that wouldn't have had impact on the legs. But yes they were dumb with their oh poor Baylor. They played 10 more minutes of basketball

I disagree with most of that. In an overnight turnaround, if you don’t think a four hour disparity makes a huge difference, you probably haven’t been in that position. And not to mention, we only led VA by a point at the break, I don’t think we were exactly resting up the rest of the way.

Baylor had to overcome an 18-pt deficit vs SJU. They needed 10 extra minutes of game time to do it. They exerted themselves significantly more, not only physically, but also emotionally in that comeback win. Disagree if you like.

This ain't no place for common sense.

All announcers and officials hate us and give us no credit !!

These are mostly 18, 19, and 20 year old young men… We played just as hard as they did the night before! It’s no excuses! This was a back to back Two game tourney!! The conference tourneys consist of just the same! We beat them and the excuses they played an extra 5 mins (exaggerated) isn’t our fault! GBO

The fatigue factor most certainly got to them. We're better with our starters, but our depth makes it worse. That's a closer game in a regularly scheduled contest. We still might win by 15, but that would be a late push
