Injuries/Illness: 30 games missed

[StickMan]

James is by far the best overall player on this team. I know he comes and goes mentally, but if he gets locked in and plays well he could lead this team to the final 4.

I would say Santi is this year's MVP. If JJJ had been healthy all year, he may be. We are going to miss those two guys tremendously. All-time great Vols. Folks who say Santi isn't that great are totally clueless. His defensive prowess and rebounding are extremely underrated.

The folks saying Vescovi isn’t that great just don’t know basketball. The SEC coaches who do know basketball have voted him first team all-SEC for 2 years.
