Yeah…I’m pretty much now back to feeling more gloom and doom. This season may turn out a rerun of 2001.

ZZ out. Just keeping this one close would feel like a win today.

Igor too, apparently.

 

[Vol49er]

The lower bowl looks so sleepy goodness gracious. Award this gritty effort with some energy ya geezers

 

[omghulkhands]

Sorry I’m late to the party. What’s up with Igor?

Flu, I believe.

Hell of an effort from these guys today. Hopefully this gets us back on track and we can string together some wins over the next couple weeks.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Well, I gladly eat crow today. Glad to see this team has fight.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Please Ole Miss, beat Auburn

 

[volsarelife1]

Absolutely great bounce back game. Exactly what we needed to see from the team

 

[omghulkhands]

Funny that we lost to them by 30 and then a few weeks later beat them by 20 while down 2/3 best players. You don’t see that often.

ZZ and Igor being out likely blew up their entire game plan and film study, so in a weird way, it gave us an advantage. Our offense was forced to play like a Calipari dribble-drive offense.

 

[VolGee4]

Can’t remember the last game I missed but I’m not sure I will watch this one for my own mental health. Maybe record it and decide later if I can handle watching

You can handle it

I cannot stress how much I hate Auburn. If they dont' lose at Vandy or at Alabama they might run the table in the SEC. It's very frustrating to watch every other team struggle on the road and they so far they keep winning and looks like they will today.

They have the most luck of any top 50 team, per KP (as of a few days ago). It will run out at some point. Hopefully in March.

Maybe I jinxed them lol.

Or not.

At this stage vols won't win SEC regular season champ so it helps us if teams in 2-4 range lose.

Dylan Cardwell usually makes Shaq look like Steph Curry at the free throw line. Came into this game shooting 29%. Made 4-5 today.

Massive luck. His FT shot is so flat it looks like a putt

Maybe Florida was inspired by the investigation and was rallying behind Golden and now their motivation is gone since coach is cleared.

Yes, unlikely barring a collapse by Auburn. The win today probably gets us back on the 2 line. Win all our home games coming in with maybe a theft on the road, and we're poised for a 1 or 2 seed. As good as all the experts are saying our league is, it wouldn't be surprising to see us get 2 No. 1 seeds out of the conference

I think two 1 seeds from the SEC is almost a given. There’s a chance for 3

Luck? They’re the best team in the country and have been all season.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

I was not expecting the W today. Very glad to see us play good D and beat UF at home. Maybe we can pull off some more upsets.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Just a fantastic win today. A wounded animal (literally) bowed its back and refused to be denied by a legit final four contender and a very well coached team in Florida (I know their coach may very well be a creep, but the guy can coach basketball really, really well). Great coaching job by Barnes and one of the great defensive efforts I’ve ever witnessed. This team and coaching staff knew that it had to bring Florida into the mud to get a win and they did just that for 40 minutes. Exceptional performance. I was very pessimistic about this team, but they showed me today that they’ve got fight left in them.
