[YankeeVol]

Lol...that's terrible and great all at the same time

Who had us losing this round? Be honest.

I have us in elite 8 in my bracket.

 

[BreatheUT]

Creighton doesn’t scare me. They don’t look big. Playing sloppy

They have size

He doesn't have the highest basketball IQ or aggression but he plays within our system on offense and is one of the most versatile and elite defensive players in the country along with Mashack. SV also a beast on D and all are great rebounders.

ZZ is the best overall defender but lacks the size to be as versatile in who he can guard.

Who doesn't have the highest bb iq? I think James has a high bb iq. He has limits with his skills but he understands who he is.

Like I said…

This feels like the USCjr game in Colombia. It will be ugly, but we’ll prevail.

 

[johnboyhunter]

Creighton has played 5 ranked teams this year.

Oregon 3

We have played 10.

Creighton doesn’t scare me. They don’t look big. Playing sloppy

That's what Creighton and Oregon are saying about Tennessee right now.

I have UT going all the way. Got to hit shots moving forward though. Shew

 

[floridavol25]

Agreed. If they take the points off that late we should gain a possession.

Ya don’t understand that rule he hit the ball out of bounds I believe so would have been our ball .. so they effectively give them an extra possession.. rule needs to be looked at as either you can only review inside two min or you have to stop play and review right away or never

 

[2EastTnVols]

Too white

They have no one who could stay with DK. Texas wasn't very skilled but were athletic enough to give him problems.

 

[Just a VolinTears]

This is an interesting nugget

 

[ATC_VOL]

Super stressful but very sweet in the end. Go Vols!

Sure hope Purdue loses tomorrow so maybe ticket prices would drop a little.

 

[BreatheUT]

I was wondering the same thing.

I didn't notice that. I also still thought it was goal tending. Perhaps it wasn't.

 

[johnboyhunter]

Too white

4.5 out of 5. Vermont had more diversity on their team.

 

[Switch 625]

Like I said…

All game I was like…

 

[BreatheUT]

Like I said…

Haha...you wouldn't be patting yourself on the back would you? Good prognostication.

 

[VolTull]

This is an interesting nugget

Interesting. A little sad.

 

[JohnWardForever]

ZZZ played 40 minutes tonight. It's easy to forget how hard he worked following his ACL reconstruction to get us where we are today.

WE are going to miss that guy. Badly. He runs the show, dishes the ball, hits 3's (Most games) and plays tough D 40 minutes. Heart & Soul of the UT Vols.

 

[vol94]

We don't win without Awaka tonight.

I wish he would play smarter and not foul. He would’ve had 20 and put this game away had he played more minutes, imo.

 

[omghulkhands]

Creighton doesn’t scare me. They don’t look big. Playing sloppy

The problem with Creighton is they have a lot of shooters and sometimes shooters get hot and you just can’t do anything about it.

Oregon on the other hand has Dante and Couisnard playing great…

 

[hjeagle1vol]

Y’all can have Oregon all ya want. I’ll take Creighton all day.

 

[2EastTnVols]

Like I said…

It was ugly as hell, but beautiful at the same time

 

[johnboyhunter]

This is an interesting nugget

That’s $1M more than Calapari

 

[BreatheUT]

Interesting. A little sad.

It does seem to be a bit much.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

No doubt. They could not handle him down low.
