The Official #17 Tennessee vs. #20 Illinois Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, CBS

That was freaking Larry Bird pass from Santi

Love love love a good no look pass connecting. Favorite part of Birds highlights and that definitely felt Birdesque.

A little late to comment, but that pass by Vescovi was fire

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

I like the 3/4 court defense.

Keep some pressure on them .

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Out on Illinois. Another missed one.

 

[hUTch2002]

Gotta come up with that board.

 

[berryvol]

About to tear up at seeing Santi smiling and playing like this, so happy he seems to be back to normal and past whatever was mentally holding him back.

A little late to comment, but that pass by Vescovi was fire

Never too late to comment on a pass like that.

The whole play was a thing of beauty.

 

[VolArmy74]

Santi has to be close if not over 10 rebounds today.

 

[tnvols72]

Should have not taken Knecht out as he was rolling along.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Santi getting on the GLASS

 

[TheBigOne10]

Santi is the glue guy!

 

[hUTch2002]

Great effort Santi!

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Santi has to be close if not over 10 rebounds today.

He’s being more aggressive on the glass than our bigs at times

 

[volsarelife1]

Love seeing Vescovi being thus aggressive on defense and intensity rebounding

 

[berryvol]

Should have not taken Knecht out as he was rolling along.

Had to get him a breather, he wasn’t playing a lick of defense

 

[TheBigOne10]

Hawkins is a punk

 

[hUTch2002]

That’s not all ball! He hit his hand.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Make your free throws guys. Come on.

9. Points 10 Rebounds

Missing that FT kept him from a double double so far.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Not sure I’d rest Mashack right now.

 

[hUTch2002]

Come ON guys. Free freaking throws!

 

[berryvol]

FREE. THROWS.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Make your dang free throws

 

[RavinDave]

Hit your dam free throws boys!

Got it reversed.

The Dickel typed that message.
