I get the sense that was Vescovi's last game...not so sure about JJJ

 

[DC_Vol]

I wish Santi would come back for one more year.

 

[Danl]

Never a doubt!!!

Go BasketVols!

An impressive win given the circumstances. Arkansas has been playing good ball for the last 5-6 weeks and we gave them a beat down. Now let’s do it to Auburn

 

[Chris4Vols22]

First good game we've had in a while. Maybe we can still get by without Zeigler.

 

[JMSqb11]

He’s played PG plenty since he’s been here
He averages 13pts 5Rbs 3 AST 2 Stls a game while hitting 36% from 3 so he’s pretty spot on for his year .

Yeah man. You got me. He’s totally been the point guard running the offense his entire career. Guys like ZZ, Chandler, Springer, and Lamonte were all his backups over the years…..

 

[RAVOL]

Best SEC win this year. That was tournament winning game. Face adversity we did dominate. In CHRIST Alone

 

[WillisWG]

Nice double digit W. Good bench play.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Great win. Gotta get Key back. Prayers Z.

 

[omghulkhands]

I wish Santi would come back for one more year.

He’d break several records if he did. But I assume he’ll have a long career playing international ball.

 

[DC_Vol]

It was a beat down. I’d like to listen to Musselman squeal all the way home.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Great game. Guys stepped up and played well. Thought SV and company did fine playing point guard by committee. Just like guys stepped up when JJJ was hurt, guys will step up with ZZ out. Despite some recent hiccups, this is still a good team with plenty of quality depth and versatility in the backcourt.

 

[ReggieJohnsonFan]

Outstanding performance by Vols tonight. Great to see JJJ, Santiago, and Olivier all play well in probably their last games at TBA. GBO!

 

[DC_Vol]

He’d break several records if he did. But I assume he’ll have a long career playing international ball.

I hope so. I’m going to miss him.

 

[Tnphil]

Huge win. Great gut check men!

 

[sportsnut624]

Today is probably the most proud I’ve been of this team all year

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

It was a beat down. I’d like to listen to Musselman squeal all the way home.

His wife will probably smack him around a bit when he gets home.

 

[minorvol]

Why not just take a moment to enjoy the win? I get it that ZZ is an important piece to the puzzle, but the doom and gloom attitude about our chances in March after tonight doesn’t make a lot of sense given how well we played without ZZ.

We will see how things go Saturday when a team has had time to game plan for us without ZZ, but I suspect we have the pieces to make do.

Great post. Could not have said it better. Just destroyed and I mean destroyed a good Arky team. Let it play out. Team looked different tonight. Hopefully they continue to play that way.

Hearing Echos of “Fahr Bruccce”

Nah, it's FBP you hear

 

[utkCREW]

He’d break several records if he did. But I assume he’ll have a long career playing international ball.

Wonder if his girlfriend has another year? Maybe he'd stick around to be with girlfriend

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Yeah. Vescovi has a long, successful overseas career waiting for him.

 

[ttocswob]

It was a beat down. I’d like to listen to Musselman squeal all the way home.

This little piggy…

 

[CAVPUT]

What an effort by this group of seniors. Can't think of a better way to finish their last game in TBA. A very deserving bunch.

 

[D3Athlete]

What an emotional win man. These teams grit, toughness, and inability to give up is amazing. They just don’t. ZZ going down tho , that is just pain.
(Side note: Bj Edwards and especially Tyreke key became hell of lot more important.)

 

[JCP201]

I get the sense that was Vescovi's last game...not so sure about JJJ

I wish they'd both come back.
