The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. [7] Texas Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, CBS

[Ft. Loudon Vol]

3-25 from 3 pt line and still winning says a lot about this team.

Or Texas?

[gainesvol82]

Aidoo had the most clutch FTs

Officially dubbed Jonas Adieu now.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

3 guys in double digits. Aidoo with clutch free throws, JJJ with a timely 3, Awaka with points early that helped late. ZZ with sticky D.Bad shooting, good team win.
Let's go win the whole damn thing!!

 

[volplaya8]

WE DID ITTTTTTTTT WE SHOT LIKE ASS AND WON WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hahahahahah wooooooo

 

[VAVol85]

Leave those rims in Charlotte - they don’t work

 

[Vol737]

Rather be lucky than good…and we weren’t that good tonight. Thankfully, Texas was less good.

 

[VOLtaism]

We had another terrible shooting night and got away with it due to the defense. I credit Ziegler with the win, hats off to Aidoo and Dalton for icing those free throws.

 

[johnboyhunter]

Who do we prefer next? Creighton and their shooters scare me.

Oregon all day

 

[Memphisvol87]

What a stressful game. But we survived and we advanced

 

[mackievol]

The real UT survives and advances

 

[TheMookieMonster]

This is the EXACT game that has sent us home every other year. A horrid shooting night. And we won it. Can this be the year?????

 

[I4Vols]

Glad Rick knocked Texas out.

Adding Texas and Okie is gonna add some more crazy rivalries

 

[Rocky Top T]

You're joking right?

No I'm not. Aidoo didn't have a good game

 

[Lankykong]

Rough game on offense and the officials were apparently on the take with some of those non-calls. Especially when the Texas player hurt himself while he and his teammate were both fouling Jonas.

This kind of game on offense with the refs not calling mugging, we've lost all year. Great to win one.

1000% agree, hope those refs get eliminated from continuing based on that game. One of our guys got slapped in the face after a dunk and it was a no call

 

[LucidZ]

I had called it in another thread that this was going to be a sloppy game, but one we'd win.

 

[GBO18]

4 guys in double digits. Mashack with a big 13 points, JJJ with a timely 3, Awaka with points early that helped late. Bad shooting, good team win.
Let's go win the whole damn thing!!

Mashack had 2pts haha he had some big rebounds though.

 

[Hulavol]

Y’all realize if we were simply hitting our shots at just half as much as normal - just a decent fraction - like just half of the twenty missed layups and dunks - and just maybe 4 of the 25 or whatever threes we missed - this game is a dang bad blowout.
I’m not talking about shooting our average - I’m talking about still shooting abysmally- half as good as normal- I’m sure you stats guys can correct me - but that’s as horrible of a shooting deal as is possible. And we still won.
I think warming up at UNC- Charlotte all day and getting used to those rims as opposed to these messed us up.

And to be fair, had Texas hit half of their shots they woulda’ won too.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

ZZ and his pesky defense was so important. Might be player of the game

Mayshack? Wut? He had 2 points

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

12% from 3 and won

 

[johnboyhunter]

Tennessee 62- Texas, the officials and announcers 58.

I don’t think the announcers showed any bias. Not sure why we are so paranoid about this. And they don’t matter a hill of beans to the outcome. .

Tennessee 62- Texas, the officials and announcers 58.

IKR, the favoritism was a little over the top lol… good

 

[Delmar]

We have to shoot it better to advance. Enjoy this for 15 minutes and then get back to work. Defense was good enough to beat anyone but offensively we have to be better. Much better.

Guarantee you that DK will be in the gym tomorrow shooting 500 jumpers. Heck, maybe tonight when they get back!

That's how I feel. Should've had 15 extra points from 3's. We played a hell of a game to still win that.
