What a 3 game stretch. I wonder what they do Saturday.

What a 3 game stretch. I wonder what they do Saturday.

Hopefully beat the hell out of Kentucky

 

[MoCo_Vol]

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

Sub 28% from 3, held to 59 points… if that’s bad defense I’ll take it every night!

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 agree. He played well overall but missed some bunnies that were big swings in tonight’s game.

He got mugged several times with no call but the refs let both teams play a lot.

South Carolina never had a lead at all entire game. May not been pretty, but they were locked in and meant business from the get go

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

Well, he’s got nothing better to do than hang out with fans that do something besides football!

To imagine, looking at this four game gauntlet beforehand, that we would be 3-0 going into Kentucky far exceeded my expectations. Now let's finish off the Cats.

Uconn playing marquette at home could help Tenn even more.

it's currently on FS1

Same. Every single player on their team has a punchable face.

I hate Meechie Johnson. Just drives into players expecting a foul. Stute is a dirty player. Mack just plows over people. So does Murray Boyles.

With that said...Screw USCjr. GBO

Meechie is a handful and very explosive. Neither Zeigler, SV, nor Mashack could stay in front of him. Talented guy

 

[AllThingsTN]

This is the exact game I was expecting. Close, tough, and defensive minded. Like I said earlier, I really like this SC team, they’re going to be underseeded but could make a run. Super proud of our guys going and winning on the road during game 3 of the toughest 4 game stretch in the conference this year. Lets ferking gooooo!!!!!!

That coach of their's has that same face

 

[johnboyhunter]

They scored 59pts on 38% shooting

And they scored 82 against UF Saturday. Thats their highest in SEC play. They seem to play slow ball. Keep it low scoring and dog fight.

Well let’s not get carried away. I do enjoy watching you guys play basketball though, really good team. DK3 is undeniably a generational talent, just a pleasure to watch play! I admit, I’ll be pulling for you guys in the tournament

 

[Volfan2012]

We clinched the number one seed in the SEC Tourney, but teams are so good not much of an advantage to play number four seed will be a ranked team.

 

[Godfatha]

I do have my UGA friends converted to pulling for us in basketball at least.

 

[2EastTnVols]

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

Go Vols!!

Wow I'm surprised they never led. Let's freaking go!

 

[Delmar]

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

And to their credit, they never quit.

I'm saving the DirtyVol handle for you when you decide you want it

Agreed. Towards the end, he was more interested in drawing fouls than making plays though.

But I thought we couldn’t win on the road?!?!?

 

[Delmar]

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

They honor the freshmen who’ll be leaving.

2nd lowest scoring game for SCjr this year.
