[TrapVol]

Nice offensive rebound

 

[TheBigOne10]

They’ve hit some just stupid shots

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Another positive is we didn't foul a 3-pt shooter tonight.

 

[theroyz71]

This game won't end.

 

[vols 30]

Okpara with 9 rebounds and 3 blocks

 

[chuckb1448]

Love all the folks crapping on ZZ…but now they happy with him.

Hush... he's not been himself this year.. by the way, I've said nothing

 

[ttocswob]

OK... don't breathe...

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Dubar brought some dog to the game. Made some huge baskets.

The 2 late 3's he hit were the difference in the game.

 

[therealitytheory]

Kudos to Dubar and Felix.

 

[GAVol]

They’ve hit some just stupid shots

The stats don’t really reflect it, but they definitely threw in some trash.

 

[ColinS]

Needed a win and got a win.

And Vols didn’t even play well at all.

I wouldn't say that. This game was not without it's struggles but the defense was solid and we got the offense going late without Lanier not being a factor.

 

[adam.vol]

Barnes may have found the right lineup to overcome the offensive slumps.

Keep them together until it doesn’t work. With the way SEC programs scout and plan, it’s good to have different looks with different lineups.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Felix was huge tonight

 

[Creeker]

Wasn’t pretty but we found a way and went 2-1 over the first 3, that’s what you needed. We’ve clearly found some things we gotta fix especially on offense. Additionally, I’ll put my foot in my mouth about Dubar every game if he plays like this. He and Okpara were huge tonight for us.

 

[Namorto1]

Very good road win. Needed this one.

 

[patrick]

Love all the folks crapping on ZZ…but now they happy with him.

He didn’t play his best game. Way too many turnovers.

Most of the team was flat and uninspired. But they pulled together and pulled it out.

 

[vol94]

Nice dub!

Onto my Steelers, now, @ Ravens.

I Doubt I will be as happy there hours from now.

Go Vols!

 

[volsarelife1]

It wasn't pretty at times. But I'll take a road win no matter how ugly it was. Great bounce back overall

 

[Lukusw]

I'll take it.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

We have some problems on offense, but glad we found a way tonight. Turnovers alone probably kept this from even being a double digit victory.

 

[Go47]

If we could get 7-8 points / 8-9 rebounds a game with the rim protection from Okpara . . . I will take it!

 

[Chris4Vols22]

It was ugly at times, but nice response to the previous game. Barnes & co handled the pressure and adjusted well. We looked like a good team in most of the game.

I think Okpara has gotten more comfortable over the last couple weeks. He's playing more fluidly and making a bigger impact in the last couple games. Btw, huge shout out to him in the UF game - he came to play.

 

[Orangeslide]

It’s amazing how good Vegas is. Line 4.5. We win by 4.

 

[mackievol]

Nice road win

 

[sportsnut624]

Okpara and dubar deserve steaks tonight. They were key today
