The Official #3 Tennessee vs. #14 Longwood NCAA Tournament Game Thread, 2:45 PM ET, CBS

[VolFreakJosh]

This team would smoke the Springer & Johnson team.

There, I said it.

 

[txvol19]

Vols shooting 66.7% from the field and 61.5% from 3. Hard to beat that.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

If we hit open shots like this for 5 more games, we're winning a Natty.

 

[orangejuice]

This is how I’ve expected us to play so many years in the first game of the tournament. This is very enjoyable

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

In the end, all Longwood has been able to do is flop around.

Got to know how to use it, it’s just not enough to be Big South Longwood.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

You know what would make this even better. Duke looking like **** tomorrow.

 

[hUTch2002]

They have the experience of a tough SEC regular season and winning the SEC Tournament to give the confidence to make a serious run. This team does not panic!

When the game started it was cool to think that I’m watching the SEC Champs playing. I’m so proud of this team and crazy excited for what I believe we are going to do in this tournament.

 

[ClasslessVol]

What a response by the boys. Incredible run

 

[vader]

Man, if our team can ride this hot streak for a few more games…

 

[volsagain]

I truly believe the committee got this wrong, this truly looks like a 4 or 5 seed team to me.

Who was the dummy that picked Longwood to upset us , hahaha

 

[whodeycin85]

Since his 0-6 3pt performance against Arky....JJJ is 18-36 from 3..

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

I’m not worried at all. When we hit the Sweet 16 it’ll get much tougher but I predict we will see Loyola, not Nova there. Either way I still think we win.

Ugh…the Nun.

There, I said it.

Funny thing is, talent-wise the teams are about the same. You could maybe even argue this one has less. Our pieces fit together so much better this year though. We have tremendous synergy.

It was probably a committee member

 

[Hurley Mooncalf]

I heard someone mention it the other day on a radio show that finally, TN is a bad matchup for so many other teams. Usually, we are the one that catches that.

 

[Volstylexx]

Seems like ole Charles is a Vol fan.

 

[Vols All Day]

Hopefully, we can push this lead out some more and get the subs in.

 

[wmcovol]

Once Fulkerson established some inside game, that took Longeood away from defending the 3. If Tennessee can make opponents respect the inside game, they can be tough. Several good 3 pt shooters.

 

[WillisWG]

Big Charles talking us up

 

[patrick]

Freaking talking heads talking ish about the Vols and the prowess of Michigan - at least Charles is speaking with the truth!

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

Huge half

 

[orangejuice]

Halftime show already hyping Michigan as if they are the favorite next game.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Same here!!

There, I said it.

Not really a bold statement. A better question is this team vs 2019?

 

[BreatheUT]

Tennessee will smoke Michigan

Hole on yung fella. One game at a time. Respect the game.
