The less said about that offensive performance, the better.

I do want to give Mashack a shout for an absolutely dominant defensive game, though. And Aidoo had a great defensive game as well. They won it for us.

I'll take it.....now if we can get every team to play ugly like us we'll have a shot.

It’s my fault guys. When we were up big, I told my wife, unless they start hitting 3’s and we fall apart, we may run away with this. They immediately hit a 3. I’ll keep my mouth shut from now on.

Thanks for owning it. Please do not talk to your wife for the remainder of the tournament. TIA

We're going to need a lot of towels for all the bleeding in here tonight.

We should've beat this team by 30

10 pt spread. Won by 5 (not sure if that buzzer beater counted or not, maybe 3).

Not far off expectation. Up by 18 with 10 mins left was closer to the overall game. Ending was weird, but that's March Madness.

Much happier than Arizona, Virginia, etc.

Duke plays a older style of basketball. Slower paced than they’ve been under K. Also more defensive oriented. Yet good guard play as well to balance out the offensive side. Will be a battle GBO!

Some of y’all are nuts. March is awesome. Any time your team wins - that’s a good thing. A 15 seed beat a 2 today. A different 4 seed all but had a game won and coughed it up in the waning seconds. Vols won!

 

[TN-POSSUM]

I'm glad these other late games are blow outs. I'm going to bed. 6:30 AM is still going to suck but I'm not going to bed mad.

Winning > losing

 

[Devo182]

25+

And many said Duke would lose to that G5 team.

Nobody knows what will ever happen. We'll see...

 

[turdherder11]

I hope the Duke game is an ugly muddy mess. Ugly ball, I like our chance if we can make it sloppy for Duke

100%

It's like March Madness is fully understood...except for your own team.

Vescovi needs to not have foul trouble Saturday if we wanna have a chance to win

And how about Mashack's jumpers too??

Not sure I want to see those each game. But they worked today.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Oh and we also just earned 400k with that win

According to this game, then his teammates need to defend 1 on 1 better.

He was picking up early fouls on help defense. Tough position...help or avoid. Gotta help though in said position.

But fully agree. He has to play it unusually safe and see the long-term value in being out there alll game.

Mashack came up big in the final minutes tbh. Hitting free throws, defensive plays, and hitting a couple shots. He was essential today.

Texas A&M is betting absolutely waxed and I'm 100% here for it.

Yessir! If Adams is reffing, Duke will have the advantage with FTs and fouls. They're NCAA darlings and were the team people love to hate on. I'd be shocked if they had more fouls. We better play better offensively in that game and cut down our TO number to have a good chance to win.

 

[nashvol1]

Hold Duke under 65 and we win. 90% chance Vols lose if Duke scores more than that lol

Might be 55 with their D

 

[SoilVol]

I just want everyone to know that my women's bracket is perfect.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Tired of fans making excuses. We should've beaten them by 100, easy.

Woah woah woah. . . 50? Sure. 80? I can see it. 95? It could happen, but 100? You've gone too far.

 

[csprig9]

I assume we’ll be a 7 or 9 pm game

We were capable of blowing them out, if not for the turnovers and other slips later in the game. Point is, if we clean that up, we have a great shot at beating Duke.
