The Official #4 Tennessee vs #14 Alabama Game Thread, Saturday 8pm/ESPN

[rocketskates]

Rollin' down a Backwoods, Tennessee byway
One arm on the wheel
Holdin' my lover with the other
A sweet, soft, southern thrill
Worked hard all week, got a little jingle
On a Tennessee Saturday night
Couldn't feel better, I'm together
With my Dixieland delight

There was just a joy in watching the air being sucked out of the crowd in those last 90 seconds as it dawned on the Tide fans that they were going to lose

 

[johnboyhunter]

I don’t understand why so many here have been hard on JJJ tonight. He had a double double

Dial it up to low BB IQ

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

this will help tourney time. won with our backs against the wall in an hostile environment with dk not going off.

But we were still much better with him on the floor. He drew so much attention our other guys got great looks. James stepped up and hit a few big shots down the stretch.And ZZ always steps up in crunch time. A great team win. GBO

 

[omghulkhands]

Guess what.....you need to win 6 straight to win March Madness......we've now won 6 in a row

Funny cause the wins have kind of escalated in difficulty too. Like you’d expect in the tournament

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

SEC is the best league, and there should be someone from our conference as a one seed.

If we win the next 2 we will have a great shot at a number 1 seed. The main thing is we are playing well as we go down the stretch. GBO

I hate Alabama, so I’m glad we swept them this season and that they got so amped up for this game, college gameday, camped out for tickets, had all their “celebrities” there, and we broke their hearts. After they thought they were going to win and we didn’t really shoot well.

Suck it, Alabama.

pretty strong take from jersey

true i was mostly talking about scoring wise but i agree he makes us a million times better when on the court

I knows it’s a lot of luck. But I haven’t felt this confident since Tyler crews n lofton team.

There is no way Arizona plays a harder schedule that the Vols

As annoying as he is, Jimmy Dykes summed it up nicely. “Arizona has one more loss than TN in a 2 bid league than TN does in a likely 7-8 bid league.”

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Big to win without Knecht scoring 25+. JJJ, Santi, ZZ & MASHACK showed up in every part of the game. Team confidence should be peak.

 

[RavinDave]

That was awesome!

Jersey?

 

[djohnnyg]

Sec games on the road are hard as heck. When we were down 7 or whatever and missing everything....I did not have a good feeling...but holy crap...to come back and beat them? Bama was amped up as you can get. I hope that dork w the purple suit is somewhere crying right now.

Also we were 2-0 this week without Yankee starting the game thread

where has he been ?

 

[volsarelife1]

Also of note.. We held Bama to only 71 and 74 points in both our wins this season when they average 91.5 on the season.

 

[StarRaider]

Jersey?

I would like to see that goober in the purple blazer cry

 

[UTwild82]

If we win these next two games, we should ABSOLUTELY be a number 1 seed, regardless of what happens in the tournament.
