The Official #4 Tennessee vs #16 South Carolina Game Thread, Wednesday 7pm est/ESPN2

[ALStateLineVol]

So for those wondering about the last play if the dunk was good or not, the line on this game was 5.5. That was the difference between those that took UT and those that took SC. I bet a co-worker $20 and I took TN, so that made me $20(not much but I'm cheap anyways).
He's already text me laughing about the last play too.
FWIW, he's a Bama fan.

Not finished yet!
Go Vols!!

Wut?

I thought the defense was pretty good

Game stats. Surprised we got best inside tonight. But we got the win!

Go Vols!

Senior night in Rupp. Do they even have seniors with their one and done roster ?

 

[D3Athlete]

As good as the SEC has been this year and how hard these games have been. Wrapping the SEC regular season championship a game before speaks volumes to this team.

We just made 20 FGs for the entire game, got outrebounded and won on the road.

I'm gonna be honest, I think the refs made many foul calls against the cocks at the end that were iffy. Why do refs allow the offensive player to drop their shoulder and knock into the defensive player to make space under the basket? That was called "Charging" when I played 100 years ago.

They also had a lot of no-calls against them too. Like moving picks, body fouls, outright offensive line blocking

 

[Vols All Day]

Great win and great accomplishment, but this team has a couple more banners to put up in TBA.

 

[Tenacjim]

DK maintained his 25+ points in conference play with 26

And he EARNED every one of them tonight (unlike stat-padder Sears last night).

Our defense flat out bad tonight. Open threes and beating us on drives and we can’t get a friggin rebound.

We just held an SEC team to less than 60 points on 27% from 3.. Now our rebounding effort was less than desired, will give you that

SC got in Aidoo’s head when they blocked him twice at the start of the second half and he played timidly the rest of the game. He is our biggest variable to me on how far we go in the NCAA tournament. Missing those 2 free throws at the end with the game on the line is concerning as we will have to be excellent to reach the final 4.

I thought the defense was pretty good

It was great for stretches and not so great at times. The overall result was good.

 

[Godfatha]

Hope we don't have to play those guys again. They just make the game ugly

I hope they play Purdue in the tourney... I wouldn't know who to root for

Two for the Deacon.

To quote the late great John Ward!

I remember meeting him at a game when I was in POTSL band and the man just commanded respect. He was a force of nature

 

[JCP201]

Dalton a lock for SEC POY

He is good, and the team is rocking right now. Come on, let's be THAT team for Barnes and us.

Dirtydawg, we're going to convert you if you keep hanging around

 

[Tenacjim]

Yep, we rebound better, they don’t break 50.

 

[Godfatha]

That should be a great game. You guys are at home right?

Yes sir. Should be a fun game to watch, unlike tonight's game

 

[DuckInAPen]

Two for the Deacon.

Plus an SEC tournament championship.

 

[Doctrippin]

I speak for a lot of Vols here when I say we all wish we were back on campus tonight, and getting ready to head to the arena to meet the team. Vols for life aren't just athletes. We're all family.
