Crisis averted. Assuming no collapse these final few minutes, biiiiiiiig win. Had to have it. Couldn’t afford the black mark on our resume.

Just need Alabama to drop a game or two.

 

[YankeeVol]

Oh yeah.....the sequels were very meh.

First one is a classic IMO though.

Absolutely

 

[ColinS]

Amazing what happens when we play to your strengths and just play UT basketball. Still wanna see more out of vescovi but I think it’s telling that he has been off the floor

Actually playing a four that can defend inside and rebound has been the difference more so than Vescovi sitting.

ZZ has to take the ball away from Knecht and set Knecht up

Stupid Gainey

Bates took a lot of steps....

My brother played basketball yrs ago. He reminded me that fans get too emotional throughout a game while players play through adversity and stay even keel.

 

[87&91ALUM]

69-56 2:53

Anyone remember what Awaka's free throw percentage was last year?

 

[RavinDave]

Whoda think Awaka was our best FT shooter?

 

[KTrain]

Most I’ve seen Awaka & Aidoo play together all year

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Great change by Barnes. With 2 people doubling Knect every time he got the ball out high, if you noticed Barnes changed to have Knect bringing the ball up frequently in second half to get him in. Rhythm…

Great move.

Absolutely

I'm a child of the 80s.

Don't think there has been a decade with better movies beginning to end.

Stuff coming out now sure can't hold a candle.

69-58. Bad possession by ZZ

 

[Freak]

Anyone remember what Awaka's free throw percentage was last year?

46%. 73% this year.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Knecht(17 pts 10 reb) and Awaka(18 pts 10 reb) both with double doubles now.

Knecht gets the worst whistle of any star player I’ve ever seen.

 

[87&91ALUM]

BS foul

 

[berryvol]

Good grief. DK mugged then gets called for a foul himself.

 

[vol94]

Has Santi and JJJ been on the bench since 10 minute mark?

 

[Volswin98]

Team needs to buy Awaka dinner because he held this together till DK got it going.

 

[berryvol]

Knecht gets the worst whistle of any star player I’ve ever seen.

He’s been mugged all night.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

How was that not a foul until after he lost the ball?! So much contact

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Have not handled the pressure at all
