One of the Greatest Performances Ever by a Vol?

[All Vol!]

Some of you stat gurus will know, but I can’t imagine what Knecht did against FL wasn’t one of the greatest performances ever in a Vol uniform.

- 39 total points
- 13 of 23 from the field, starting 9 of 10
- 66% from Three on 6 attempts
- 100% from the charity stripe on 9 attempts
- 22 first half points
- 14 pts in a 4 minute stretch
- Scored the Vols’ last 20 pts of the 1st half
- Set the Vols’ all time record for most points scored in 3 consecutive games (103)

This is legendary stuff no?

Not the greatest ever but up there. Knecht is a god.

He had an outstanding game but really I thought he was more impressive against UNC.
In this game a few assists would have been nice, and more team oriented play at the end.

King's career high was also against Florida. He had 43 and he made 19 2's and 5 fts to get it.

 

[jdogvol]

Bernard King 43 points, 20 rebounds vs. Florida in 1976 before the 3 point line.

No doubt it was one of the best. I would love to see something similar in games against Bama and UK.

He's the best UT player I've seen since Allen Houston

Exactly what I told my sons

 

[kyvol98]

He obviously comes from a good family. The Knecht's are "Simple Minded" people, according to Jimmy Dykes. I know what he meant but my wife and I looked at each other when we heard that in disbelief.

Jimmy should choose his words better.

Nice game but it's not in our school top 10 in scoring for a single game.

 

[OSVolFan]

Love seeing him get back to form. He's special. Not sure about one game, but I bet if anyone wanted to research it............ his 7 day stretch (3 games) stacks right up there as one of the best.

 

[macrovol]

Bernard King had 30 points in the first half against Georgia. Didn't play a lot in the 2nd half.

Not sure how to go about getting numbers for a "stretch of games", but I'd have to think both King and White had a stretch to be remembered. Also hard to compare a stat line for a single game for players who play different positions. Bet Lofton might have been red hot and strung a few together although he won't have the rebounds on the line to compare. For an all around game, Knecht will be up there I suspect.

He's not better than Grant Williams. Not yet anyway. If he consistently performs at at or even near this level the rest of the year then yes.

He's at least as good as Grant Williams.

What’s amazing to me is he wasn’t this good last season in the big sky conference. His continued development is incredible and I’d bet he’s way outperformed Barnes’ expectations when recruiting him.

and before the 3 shot line

 

[Jpcisco]

We are all watching something truly special and rare for Tennessee basketball. Regardless how this season ends I will still remember watching one of the most dominant scorers in Tennessee basketball history. I knew from the Michigan State game Knecht was going to be that guy, man I can't wait to see what else he does the rest of the way.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

and before the 3 shot line

King never shot outside so it didn't really matter

Barnes' doing what he does best

 

[smokeycoonhoundUT]

It was definitely a special performance. He’s very exciting to watch

Just guessing but practicing against Northern Colorado team vs practicing against one of the best Ds in the nation.
STEEL SHARPENS STEEL.

King is in a class by himself. He was also an elite rebounder. The best to ever wear orange and I don’t think it is close.

 

[macrovol]

Ron Widby set the UT record of 50 points against LSU, which stood until Tony White put up 51. Neither had a 3 point line.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Not as many points, but Lofton hitting 7 3’s at Rupp and scoring 31 was pretty dang special. 11-18, 7-10 from 3. Given the situation, story line, etc, it belongs up there.
