O.K. Let’s Admit It:

[cwbytruckers]

I posted in another thread that everyone thinking Duke was unbeatable that they were very beatable. I had confidence they could win. But it depended on who showed up to help out of offense. And that was JJJ for a bit and then ORN credit union for all your basket needs.

We’ve beaten Kansas, Gonzaga and Kansas. This isn’t surprising.

Bama and Texas also

Without ZZ, I think it was IMHO

 

[VollyParton]

The game was won in the first 3 minutes
I've got the Vols losing to Marquette & I think they're going to make that a bad pick!!
Go Vols!

 

[VOLtaism]

Someone stepped up on offense, exactly what they needed. Makes it tough on teams when they are scoring and defending. Hit shots and there are less run out plays. Now, somebody needs to step up every game on offense.

Oliver and Philips started the day on the bench, seemed to motivate them both. Awaka did not score or rebound too much but he was moving bodies out of position inside.

 

[Orangeblooded615]

Yall been tripping. This team has vets and is deep. We just don't have a dog to take over on offense. If ORN or JJJ can step up for a run. We don't turn the ball over, play that aggressive D, we can beat anyone. Scovi was great. Key and Phillips could be better but played mistake free mostly.

Most of us did not see this coming. Thank you guys, GO VOLS!

A lot of us have been telling you folks all year this team was special. Meanwhile, half the forum was calling for Barnes to be fired a month ago after three wins over top 10 teams. Shout out to the believers.

Beautiful pun

Tennessee won a street fight today over Duke and Nkamhoua stuffed himself against the Blue Devils post players.

Since we had the 18 turnovers in the first game, and only made 4 long balls; I had a feeling we were due. Not to mention, Duke gets everyones best shot. And duke does not play in a great league at this time.

Duke got hot at the wrong time apparently

Cause you didn't believe in the players? Weird, but okay.

 

[orchidvol]

Duke didn’t see it coming. Two bald headed refs didn’t see it coming, they spent all their time watching Uros.trying to make sure he didn’t scowl at a Duke player.

It was kinda poetic justice when Filipowski got hammered with some real contact after his two fake flop fouls the refs fell for.

 

[GAVol]

A lot of people got psyched out by the Duke logo.

That's the crazy thing is this team can win a natty or lose to trash. They may lose next game but I'm just glad they haven't packed it in or lost any heart.

There's nothing for me to admit too. That's for you naysayers! GBO!!!

 

[WillisWG]

I actually had Tennessee winning this one but I had them losing to Purdue. Purdue isn't there anymore...

I mean we were risky but we grew up. We had a lot of tough losses/adversity that could have gone another way.

My brackets are broken but like you I had them in the S16

 

[FranklinVFL]

I was driving back from the beach. Fully did not expect that. I do record all UT games in every sport, so will be watching it immediately after Maryland knocks out Alabama.

It's weird when they just outright say it.

 

[Orange931]

Could you imagine…beating FAU in the S16, Kentucky in the E8, Bama in the F4, and Kansas for the WHOLE DAMN THING? It’s a serious reality now, and it all continues on Thursday! AHHHHHHHHHH

I want Bama to lose tonight. Their fans are even more unbearable since their basketball team is having a decent year.

As do I..I was just imagining for a second

 

[turbovol]

It helps to have an experienced team against one that is much younger. Some Duke fans are convinced that recruiting one-and-done's
is not a recipe for NCAA success--same issue Kentucky has had for a long time.

 

[Schasz]

Don't you love it when the so called experts on CBS Selection did not even have the Vols winning their initial game, and had the No. 5 Duke into the Sweet 16. Nice when they are WRONG!!!

 

[Cartervol]

Played well all around today. They play like that next week then watch out.

 

[Sarms58]

I thought we won the game today by playing harder than Duke, contesting every loose ball, making some tough shots and limiting our turnovers. But after reading the Duke board I found out that the refs gave us the game…lol!
