Gainey was a legend today

 

[StoneokeyVol]

Gainey is the man! Dude absolutely carried the team in the second half

 

[vavolfan6]

That game should build some team confidence! Very ugly at times. Foul trouble. On the road. Missing our star players in a crunch time, but we overcame it all!!

[SlyStone]

This just in Igor tried another unsuccessful three. Just kidding. Great win. Go Vols!!!

 

[RAVOL]

Boom Goes Gainey. Vols Win overcoming much adversity in 2nd half. Yes indeed. In CHRIST Alone

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Ref sure was disappointed he had to count that bucket. THANK YOU MR CLUTCH GAINEY. Defeated at least 71/2 guys today.

 

[Volswami]

[VolsSportsFan]

[I4Vols]

Gainey is a legend for that one! Go Vols!

Can you imagine how his Dad feels...

 

[rocketskates]

Needed someone to step up, and gainey answered the call!

Just caught the final minute and 9 seconds. What a play by Gainey! The foul called on Zeigler was bs, the Illinois big pushed him down, yet they called Zeigler. I'm assuming it was that bad all night by some of the ref. posts above?

 

[tntornadox]

I'm telling you with the look on the refs face,, they should be investigated to see if they had $ on the game!

I'd bet money he does. And from the look, it was his mortgage money.

 

[Switch 625]

Stole that one! Go Vols!

Actually, we foiled a robbery.

 

[MosePhillipFulmer]

We are not the number 1 team in the country this is pathetic

Hello

 

[Larkin]

[Freak]

I’m sitting at the Tennessee theater and everyone must have been watching on their phone (me included) because the crowd cheered when Gainey hit that shot. lol.


I’ll post the game video later tonight when I get home for those interested.

 

[ttocswob]

Number 1 team my ass. Not sure why I turned it on

Wear this like an albatross around your neck...

 

[calban]

We'll be hard to beat after that one. High character win. GBO

 

[utvolpj]
