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

Crap.

 

[BowlBrother85]

His defense is elite and it impacts the game in other ways. Also, I hate that his TN career could end in street clothes. It's sickeningly unfair.

I agree. Let's get to Sunday, and give him another game.

 

[BruisedOrange]

I’d sit his butt somewhere other than the bench

Once the fever lifts, he shouldn't be contagious. Tamiflu in time should limit the damage.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I mean seriously, can this school not catch a damn break? Healthy ALL year long, and we lose a starter in the Sweet 16. I want to die. Just unfair.

Seriously, quarantine him.

 

[Volswin98]

All right you old farts: looks like we will tip about 1 minute early for you. Take your Ovaltine and man up!!!

Nap taken and house is cold. I can do this.

 

[Volstylexx]

But would it be the most ”Tennessee thing” ever to win this game and then not even have enough bodies to field a team Sunday?

I can't even click "like" for that comment.. .but yes, that would be the most TN thing ever.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Seriously, quarantine him.

Send him to a Vandy fan convention, he'll definitely be all alone.

Say what?

Yeah, it’s on me, my head runs in different directions some times..

I'm sufficiently nervous. Let's have that tip off.

 

[firestorm]

Moving fast to tip off

I’m hoping for the desired outcome instead of a disappointment in the Sweet 16 for a second consecutive season.

Just like ZZ last year, Kyle Alexander a few years back. Sheesh…..

Be careful. You might end up in BVS quarantine.

Whoever has been rooming with him needs to be on tamiflu NOW.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Not having Santi is a bummer but we can handle it. Let's get some. Go VOLS!

We will win this game. Just gotta put the clamps on that Kolkbrenner guy.

This is where Mashack having to start last year will pay dividends.

Get better Santi, hopefully the rest of the team doesn’t catch it. Let’s get the W tonight so he gets a chance to end his career on the court.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I mean....those Theraflu commercials CLEARLY show the guy miserable and then after drinking it he's 100% fine. Did they try that?

Against Purdue nonetheless lol

"But the truth came out years later. In 2013, Tim Grover, Jordan's former personal trainer, said on TrueHoop TV that Jordan was actually dealing with food poisoning, not the flu. With room service unavailable, he had ordered a pizza to the team's hotel the night before Game 5."

Mashack and Gainey will HAVE to step up tonight

Mashack's defense/offense combo has the potential to be very positive for us tonight. With the defense Creighton plays, look for a lot of foul line shots open for Shack. He can hit those, and it can be the difference in the game. Look for that early as a sign of offensive production from him.

I always chalk it up to people call everything the flu.

And that will be the game Pat Adams flies in specifically to do! (Just in case the flu doesn’t get us).
