This meme has aged well especially for those of us that remember that beat down.

 

[vol24/7/365]

Great win, with several missed calls not going our way, but it was close to being evenly called.

Several? I think it was like 32. lol

 

[I4Vols]

Senior leadership in the backcourt is always huge in March. Glad we have four of them back there.

Hey, let me enjoy this win and not think about next season...

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Are any of the Legions/Nega/troll posters going to give Barnes credit for calling the TO with 5 seconds on the shot clock and then drawing up the play that ZZ executed for the dagger?

 

[VolBalls33]

One of the best wins all season. TBA should be rocking against Bama next Saturday!!

 

[Raiford62]

Huge Win

 

[vol94]

Maybe I’m wrong but it appeared we played better with four guards and Okpara.

 

[BallerVolFan]

That’s a HUGE win! Just gotta keep taking care of business against the bottom feeders and the opportunity is right there in the next week or 2

 

[vol24/7/365]

I didn’t read the game thread. But at no point did I feel we were playing poorly. So idk what they even had to rage about

But what did you think about the refs and their love of Am and the commentators?

 

[VOLED]

Gainey is an assassin. Two 3s and two Fts at the end. Player.

It was an average Pat Adams experience.

Which means it’s was awful

Barnes used his timeouts well today. I thought maybe we could have called one with 47 seconds left after we went up 72-67 so that A&M wouldn’t get such an easy sprint down the court for a layup again, but other than that the fact we used 2 timeouts in the final minute was rare and also extremely helpful.

 

[sportsnut624]

What a damn win. Puts a one seed in real contention now

He came on late but has to play with more consistency earlier in games.

 

[tev.sm]

A&M at home.

Ah true.

Sort of had to in both instances

Did you not think the refs let them beat the crap out of us with no calls. And the DUMB CALLS

I think there are just Vol fans here today and most days. The game is not always pretty and the posts reflect that, kinda what a game thread is. Can't we all just enjoy this HUGE road win?

 

[Shrimp&Grits&Vols]

First 4 minutes we had to weather the storm and we did. Gutsy effort, fantastic win.

Slow starts will kill us in March though, seems like we always come out of the gate like that.

Meh.. obvious timeout scenario.

All seriousness, if we’re going to say he can’t control guys missing shots it’s hard to”give credit” for a great shot made. Jmo

Your point is still valid and funny… but, and I don’t think I fit the description you mentioned, that timeout call was the easiest thing CRB did today. Also jmo

You know better

 

[walkenvol]

Remember when people were mad Zakai took the last shot against Auburn

 

[Kicker82]

Huge road win today!! Zz and Lanier were clutch.

Gave the players the opportunity for success. That's what a great coach does, but can't execute it. Doing it over and over and over and over in practice is the key

Did you not watch the first 8 minutes?
