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

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

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.

He’s a warrior. Had a rough shooting night but was a menace defensively and kept us under control for the most part offensively.

 

[Volatile68]

Creighton has played 5 ranked teams this year.

Oregon 3

We have played 10.

Creighton got some shooters for sure.

 

[JohnWardForever]

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

 

[aussievol]

This is an interesting nugget

Hope he makes another $800k

 

[johnboyhunter]

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…

I don’t think it will be a cake walk but I think Creighton has not experienced a team as physical as TN.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

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

Oregon’s big man, Dante, will be a problem.

 

[vol94]

How many times did Aidoo get blocked?

Four to five shots. I recall two in first half and then two in second.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

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

Who are you pulling for in the Creighton/Oregon matchup?

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Oregon’s big man, Dante, will be a problem.

Both teams have a good post player. It’s that time of year where there won’t be a matchup made in heaven. Everyone from here on out is really good.

Creighton has played 5 ranked teams this year.

Oregon 3

We have played 10.

It doesn't matter in the NCAA tournament otherwise Oakland doesn't beat Kentucky if games were won based on regular season SOS.

Who are you pulling for in the Creighton/Oregon matchup?

Whoever feels like losing by the most points on Friday night

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

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

Not their players. For the most part fans haven't got a clue as to what players are thinking.

 

[ReadCT]

I have us in elite 8 in my bracket.

Come on, man!!!

I have us winning it all. And have the PHX Final Four tix to prove it. Check my stats

This was our bad tourney game. Most teams have one. Vols escaped; most don't

In fact. I have a spare. Vols get to Phoenix and one of you morans wants to get to Phoenix, Final Four ticket on me

Bad news is you have to sit next to ReadCT. (6'2", 185 lbs.)

This is the year

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

I also don't think they've seen a team as eqipped as us to stop them on the perimeter.

I would prefer Creighton, they seem to be a finesse team. If we play well we beat either.

 

[hUTch2002]

I’d like to see a replay of the one not called against Texas at (maybe) 2 possessions before the under 4:00 TO. It looked like Texas knocked the ball off of our rim.

Refs looked to give Texas EVERY break down the stretch. The 3 fouls to give kind of backfired on them though.

I was shocked they intentionally put Aidoo at the lines. Good on Aidoo for sticking it to them!

 

[Proud Army Wife]

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

No lol, but I did see this coming. Texas is a muck it up team. We’ve seen this before. It was also an emotional game, but thankfully kept it classy.

 

[vol94]

Most of you negative ass losers don't deserve to celebrate this win.

Stop it! Theee losers support the Vols for whey win or loss. I get emotional and post comments. I’m a fan, not a player.

Many of us losers spend thousands of dollars that support the program.

It’s a message board. Get over it.

Go Vols!

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Oregon’s big man, Dante, will be a problem.

So will the combo of Aidoo and Awaka

 

[JohnWardForever]

It does seem to be a bit much.

Not in these days of million dollar players.

 

[johnboyhunter]

Oregon’s big man, Dante, will be a problem.

Yes he will

 

[walkenvol]

One of very few celebs/famous people I legit gawk over.

Her wife says you’re wasting your time.

 

[vol94]

I was shocked they intentionally put Aidoo at the lines. Good on Aidoo for sticking it to them!

I was surprised, too. Aidoo made one of two earlier. On the foul you are referring, didn’t he sink both (one and one)?

 

[johnboyhunter]

Who are you pulling for in the Creighton/Oregon matchup?

Watching now and think Creighton. Don’t think they are very physical, lack length.
