The Official #5 Tennessee @ Georgia Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[Vols All Day]

Is this a turning point in the season? What a comeback!!!

No, the Vols are going to need to get the others going or see if the Freshmen can fill some roles. You can’t rely on DK to score 30 every game to win.

One observation: I know a lot of people look at Santi right now and think he’s a shell of his former self since he isn’t scoring like we are accustomed to seeing him score. Some have even lumped him in JJJ these last couple of games calling him a no show. To me, though, Santi is still making winning plays. He may not be scoring, but he is contributing in a positive way.

Not the start to finish dominance I was expecting...but the team showed big time resolve. They did last week too, but hit shots down the way..tough team

 

[Namorto1]

SEC PLAYER OF THE YEAR DALTON KNECHT SAY IT WITH ME!!!!!!!!

He really is a special offensive talent.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

GRAB THE DAMN BALL!!!!

Wow, the last 5 or so minutes they were allowing full contact rebounding on our end. Santi got a double forearm shiver on the OOB play and they let it ride. I was already chalking up a loss, and I don't do that often, but Coach played the bad call card loudly enough they did not get as many HOMER whistles, though they were allowed way too much defensive contact all the way to the end of the game. Odds on the long balls finally caught up with them the last few minutes. Glad the long range shimmy dancers got their due in the end.

 

[Voltopia]

Thank heavens we get the next two at home. That's all I know to say after this one. Need to recuperate after that business down there.

 

[Volfan2012]

Against three point shooting teams Mashack is a better option than JJJ

 

[Cartervol]

That was a good win. They didn't need to drop that one..UF will be a tough game also. SEC going to be tougher than most thought I think..

 

[joevols89]

We will beat UGA by 25 in Knoxville.

Just kidding, we don’t get them at home this year unfortunately.

 

[BearCat204]

This one is over

I turned it off when you posted this, what did I miss?

 

[KTrain]

Put yourself in UGAs fandom, high 5ing all over the gym & in Sports Bars across Georgia 10 straight wins going for 11 vs #5 and now see the agony of defeat and crying in your Beer.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Woof. I hate Georgia. Great to mess with them like that today.

 

[knoxvol52]

Nice comeback victory by the Vols, now rooting for A&M to kick Kentucky's A$$...

 

[vavolfan6]

Georgia was 14/28 from 3 at one point towards the end of the game. Has to be demoralizing to lose to us after the stretch they had in the 2nd half..

 

[I4Vols]

No coincidence things turned once JJJ took a seat.

Certainly a tough offensive struggle today, but rebounds, defense and not backing down was there most of the game.

Things turned when we went inside and also slowed the game down. That was a coach's call

 

[VolArmy74]

I cannot believe we won that game. I AM SO DAMN PUMPED!

Your pleas for a good last 4 minutes were finally heard.

 

[hUTch2002]

The Refs were playing home town favorites today. Even a blind man could see that ball was out of Georgia yet we had to go to the monitor to prove it. Then they have to foul Knecht three times before they ever called it. Barnes finally went to the right defense and stopped their open three looks. Glad we won but didn't like the way we played today fouling and turnovers made it as close as it turned out to be.

That’s why we have to be sharp. Part of the game on the road and it ended up evening out pretty well actually. Now the continuation BS is ridiculous. What’d they get, 4 of those calls that should’ve been on the floor?

Against three point shooting teams Mashack is a better option than JJJ

But he fouls a lot

 

[Volfan2012]

We will beat UGA by 25 in Knoxville.

If only we played them again which we don't this season.

 

[joevols89]

Unreal. But they were getting wide open looks due to good rotation and pump fakes.

 

[sportsnut624]

Game changed when we put mashack in for jjj. It’s time for mashack to be getting around 30 minutes a game

 

[aWhiteLoftonChism]

I’ll take that game from Jonas every game from here on out. 10pts-15rbs-5blks! All day long

He certainly played solid D late in that game.

His three IMO turned the game today. It was HUGE!
