The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. #11 [3] Creighton Game Thread, 10:09 PM ET, TBS/truTV

[firestorm]

I won’t feel very unhappy working a double tomorrow because Tennessee didn’t disappoint in a challenging Sweet 16 game that they won.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Yes..let’s play another!!

May as well play two more and beat Bama in the finals.

 

[Volatile68]

Nice win! Hope Aidoo tightens up for this next game.

 

[volmoon]

And there were 8

 

[Vols All Day]

Mashack needs more minutes, even if SV is back. Mashack wrecks havoc when he is in on d.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Tell everybody that had to leave the room because of nerves, they can come back in.

 

[sportsnut624]

What will get lost today is Barnes was masterful with his decisions. Thst was his best game coaching since he’s been here.

 

[Orange931]

We need more Elite 8’s more often

 

[molsen81]

And baseball.

Ooops. How could I forget that?

 

[VolGirl81]

I knew we could do it, just wasn’t sure if we would!

 

[VolBricks]

can we make the final 4? the magic 8 ball says "yes"

 

[Jravol78]

And baseball.

Damn straight !

 

[Proud Army Wife]

They’ve been clutch at the line when it counts. Who knew lmao

 

[utvolpj]

Can't say enough about Josiah- Jordan James tonight. 17 points, 4-6 shooting, 3-5 from three, and 6-6 from the FT line. Whenever JJJ brings that kind of stat line, Tennessee is a hard team to beat.

He had a couple big 3s to really keep us rolling. He's not ready for it to be over

 

[Volatile68]

Mashack needs more minutes, even if SV is back. Mashack wrecks havoc when he is in on d.

Agreed. I like Mashack for the start. He's relentless

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Take that @CAVPUT !!

Yeah, @CAVPUT

 

[Putbacks]

How do you sleep after that?

 

[JCP201]

I dont think anyone is stopping Edey but I would expect their game plan to suit Aidoo better.

One thing about Purdue--they aren't in the kind of shape that VOLS are in. They were literally panting. I'm not saying we can beat them, but I think our team is in better shape physically. Let's just hope Vescovi is back and nobody else can get the flu.

 

[vegasvolfan]

Congratulations to Rick Barnes the best Tennessee basketball coach since I have been alive! Now the doubters can take a hike!

Update: Most accomplished. Pearl did a lot in 6. Barnes has had 9 years. Either way, huge accomplishment..

 

[Jravol78]

JJJ the player of the game ? You could make a good case

 

[TNHopeful505]

Hate the quick turnaround. Puts us at a disadvantage.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Awaka looked so much better than Aidoo. I think Aidoo needs to be on a short leash Sunday

 

[knoxchief]

Do we play the next one at the same areana?

 

[Vol737]

ok do yall think we can fix aidoo in the next 48 hours?

Fix? I don’t know about that, but I would tell him shoot from angles and use the backboard without fail. Every time he tries to swish from four feet away and doinks it on the front of the rim, he would have to drop and give me 20 right there on the floor.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Oh my god now THAT'S HOW YOU MAKE A F'IN BABY!!!!!!!!! SERVE IT UP WITH LOG CABIN SYRUP!!!!!!!!!!!
