The Official #5 Tennessee vs. #6 Alabama Game Thread, 4:00 PM ET, ESPN

[SCSmokey]

This is why every coach wants Mashack on their ****ing team!!!

False. Haven’t you learned from the VN geniuses that he sucks!?

 

[feathersax]

I’d rather lose to anybody except Nate Oats.

Dude is such a thug.

'It's too late for Nate,
Tonight he sleeps in his crate,
Thinking he was great....
Till hit by the Mashack freight!
"Gumps in the Dumps".

 

[WilliamDuVOL]

I just got to watch that moment with my mom and dad which was equally as special as the moment itself, but man, it's not often you see that kind of thing happen, let alone from your own team, and let alone in that important and huge of a moment. Just absolute insane.

 

[djohnnyg]

Like the Hail Mary against GA all over again!

What a turn of events. Actually a full court heave would equal that.

 

[vol24/7/365]

Can't believe the refs called the inbound violation its rarely seen

They were giving back to us so many bad calls! I will take it!

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Lanier’s 3 point play was huge!

He missed the FT so it was 2. Mashack's effort on the rebound ended up the difference in the game.

 

[OneVolNation]

I bet on us to win using DraftKings when we were down 5 points.
It's sweet to get paid to see the home team win the big ballgame.

Go Vols!

 

[utvolpj]

Mashack gets knocked because he doesn't play a pretty game but that's not why he's so valuable. Stats can't measure what he means to a team and that's what is so different about sports

 

[JCP201]

Our big defense guy put us on his back and won that game. Mashack has so much heart, definitely one of my favorites of all time.

 

[Volnbeers]

Gaineys at Illinois

Ehhh that just kinda amounts to a nice win at this point. Mashak literally may have given a #1 seed

 

[C-south]

False. Haven’t you learned from the VN geniuses that he sucks!?

He’s not a good offensive player and that’s all anyone ever says.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

The way Dicky V was glazing Bama he's probably in his trailer crying right now

He complemented Mashack profusely, well before the buzzer beater.

 

[Bigorangefan 98]

Committee will still probably give it to bama because “they would have won on a neutral court”

BS

 

[87&91ALUM]

aint it great to be a Volunteer fan? Crowd came through today. Team just never gave up. I about lost my lunch.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

They were giving back to us so many bad calls! I will take it!

Yeah, Sears stepping on and falling on ZZ was a good no-call.

 

[Chaz-Vol]

That ending reached vols vs bama 2022 level screaming for me

 

[vols 30]

Refs are gonna make themselves the story today

You sticking with that? Oops

 

[87&91ALUM]

He complemented Mashack profusely, well before the buzzer beater.

And he complemented Coach Barnes all day. Dude is a cancer survivor.

 

[JCP201]

He’s not a good offensive player and that’s all anyone ever says.

He rebounds and gets turns overs- takes away the other teams best players--I call that a great player for our offense.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Cool.

It’s also cool that you save receipts from early in a game thread to come back to after the game is decided. I guess.

 

[zeppelin128]

Even in our storied history across all sports, that's gonna go down as one of the big ones! Damn I could run through a brick wall right now wooo lol

 

[utvolpj]

He’s not a good offensive player and that’s all anyone ever says.

No they call him a liability on the court. That's very different

 

[vol94]

Agree he doesn’t give much offensively most of this yr. But his defense and leadership go a long way. Poor Foul shooting gets me riled up.by this team.

Mashack w/ strong defensive efforts and the shot of his career!

I’m so happy for the young man!

 

[zeppelin128]

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

I hope the ones who continuously talk **** about Mashack throughout the game feel like **** rite now...the guy made two winning plays.

Really four: the hustle to box out on Lanier’s miss, making the foul shots, the tie up, and then the buzzer-beater.
