You guys... ¡¡¡¡ELITE 8!!!!

Here is the thing…..Houston is gone. If we can somehow beat Purdue on Sunday we have an absolutely fantastic path to make the national title game. NC State or Duke. Not afraid of either of them.

Awesome game! Now it’s time to start drawing up a game plan to contain the 8 ft over-the-back camper.

One. At. A. Time

Feel terrible for Houston. Two years in a row lose their best player in the tournament.

Yeah. Hate it for them. We have had some awful luck with injuries ourselves, so I can understand that fanbase’s pain. They definitely win that game if Shead plays the entirety of it.

With that said, the path is open. Sunday’s game will be an absolute war. But if you win that we are going to be favored to make the national title game.

We still haven’t played our best game and we are in the elite 8. No team in our history has had the chance to do what this one does. Let’s finish this for Barnes and for UT

It has to be destiny that Rick Barnes sends Tennessee to their first Final Four in program history on Easter Sunday, right? The Deacon breaks his F4 curse on the Lord’s day.

I’ll be breaking out the “Rick is my Homeboy” t-shirt on Easter. It’s only right.

I may be some beers deep and enjoying this dub, but you guys, cherish this. Think of the Tyndall years. Think of who may be our coach 12 years from now. We are so blessed with our team and staff. Second time EVER we can even celebrate making it this far. I want the win Sunday as much as I’ve ever wanted something in life, but there’s a ton to be celebrated this season regardless. Soak it all in the next 36 hours, then let’s go get a final four!!

Dalton Knecht is the first All-American that started his career in junior college since Larry Johnson, from UNLV. In the immortal words of Johnny Carson, "that's some wild and wacky stuff".

I hope everyone is appreciating just how special this team is. Whether we beat Purdue or not, this has been a special, special season. Hope we have even more to celebrate come Sunday night!

I’m sure this was discussed I the game thread, but I was checked out. How about Cam Carr drilling a HUGE corner three? Talk about ONIONS *Raferty Voice* on a true freshman in that spot. Even Estrella and Dillione giving minutes. We got some killers next year and beyond.

Carr is going to be the real deal before it’s all said and done. Zero fear in that guy.

I really hope Santi can rest up, hydrate, and be healthy enough to play on Sunday. It would be so cruel if his career ended by missing his final two games, and the biggest games, of his career. He deserves to suit up again. Please good lord above let him heal up.

He was in the locker room after the game so even though he didn’t play tonight, one would surmise that he’s on the other side of it at this point. Hopefully another day of rest and fluids will have him ready to go come Sunday.

Santi combo revenge/flu game Sunday. I may not sleep for 72 hours at the prospect of this.

Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman, nice imitation, but I prefer Johnny and Ed
