Spartans fans brought it. Vols are ready for any road game they will play all season, even at Rupp.

Btw, Aidoo was fouled on the inbounds play and Gainey was knocked out of bounds. So they had to make that call, no bail out, imo

Absolutely the best pre-season matchup you ask for... excited to see how progress through the season. Go Vols!

I envy those of you who get to go to TBA to see some games this season. Absolutely the best exhibition game I've ever seen.
Maybe w/ Santi and ZZ out it gave the coaching staff a better chance to really see what some the new guys can do.
As a fan, I am now practicing preseason Victory Beer formation.

I do really wish we still had Ledlum, a bit worried about us holding up inside. It’s a nitpick after beating a great opponent but still

No it’s not. He rarely uses his size and athleticism. 3 rebounds is pathetic while Dalton is out there grabbing 7 and Gainey is grabbing 3. No excuses for him to play as soft as he has for 6 years.

You're bitching unnecessarily while ignoring this team. We are DEEP. JJJ will help this team a hell of a lot more than he hurts it. I'm glad we have him. Yes, offensively, he has never been aggressive as we would like, but he's always played great defense and generally makes good decisions on the court. Damn

He's a decent player and his experience will be valuable at times but outside of a stretch of games during his junior year he continues to underwhelm. Maybe, somehow that Junior year JJJ emerges.

Wow. Great game. Beat a very quality opponent, experienced a tough road atmosphere, gained confidence and yet there are still plenty of coaching points to be made. Awesome. Knecht is a game changer

As tough road environment as we will experience all season. As Rick said during the game, "we get more out of a game like this than a full week of practice". He can coach here as long as he feels like

Nice win, but blowing a 15 point lead is Tim Banksish on the hardwood, seen that a few times the last couple of years, glad Barnes had a deep rotation for an exhibition, but in game consistency and halftime adjustments will be a must this year to get to the lofty pre season projections, more good shooters seemed like today, hopefully to keep the double teams down a bit

Great W hostile crowd starting guards out and Top 5 team. Rick said this game is better than a week of practice. Should be a great year as BBall Fan. In CHRIST Alone

🤭 Yeah, let's continue to dwell on his perceived weaknesses. Always better to constantly be negative instead of acknowledging our plethora of positives.👍SMDH
