Workmanlike.

Good game with some stellar performances. 75-62...thanks Vols!

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

My God we are horrible...another double digit win.

 

[berryvol]

Way to close it out boys. Good win and an all around solid performance. Biggest test of the season on Saturday!

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

I still can’t figure about how that team has lost 7 games in a row.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Good win, Miami had some moments where they looked better than their record. Definitely need to get healthy, we need 8-9 healthy bodies in SEC play.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Laurinaga... what a punk

 

[RAVOL]

Still number 1 team in nation 9-0 Go Big Orange . In CHRIST Alone

 

[SugarVols]

Sorry Bilas Vols won

 

[Chaz-Vol]

As it turns out, this was not a nail biter at the end lol

y’all gotta chill with the BVS stuff all the time

I mean, Miami had it down to 7 in last few minutes and accidentally threw it away. It was a close game.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Lanier has no mercy. Weapon!

 

[fear]

man that -14.5 is laughing at me

 

[sportsnut624]

I’m glad we had a small struggle there. We needed a little adversity before illinois

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Nice win! So glad we have a guy like Lanier to turn to down the stretch. Big one on Saturday.

There was no point in this game where I ever felt we were in serious danger of losing.

Vegas knows!

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Had Felix given us a better game they probably lose by 20.

 

[JCP201]

VOLS win!! This is fun.

 

[Tenacjim]

I guess that KenPom “unlucky” stat is legit! They look better than pretty much everyone we have played outside of Baylor.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Plenty of film for Barnes to rip some people a new one to stoke a fire ahead of a great test at Illinois. Win-win!

 

[TrapVol]

Way to gut it out! Anybody think we looked tired the last few minutes? I think that might’ve had something to do with the defensive lapses near the end.

 

[Orange931]

When you’re #1, you’ll get everybody’s best shot. Good win.

 

[StoneokeyVol]

Miami for sure tested us at the end of that half. Glad to see we pulled away and got the W.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Just like the football recruiting threads...so many insufferable goons in here.

I feel like my comment was incredibly tame. You all are every bit as dramatic as the “insufferable goons” you claim to hate so much. I didn’t take a shot at any player. I didn’t take a shot at any coach. If you really take exception at a generic comment like “this one may be a nail biter” maybe you’re the one who should chill.

Agreed. They were hot from 3 early and that kept them in it. Then they got hot from 3 late and that got the score looking respectable for a minute.
