**** Bama

I thought that was part of it, but wasn’t sure

I always try to listen to the post game and hear the band play the Tennessee Waltz. Brings back some wonderful memories.
Thank you!!

What is this warm, fuzzy feeling?

 

[ReggieJohnsonFan]

Super impressive win. When UT beats Bama by 20, there are no negatives- including JJJ. Even when he isn’t scoring, he rebounds and plays defense.

 

[YankeeVol]

Yeah that is gouging big time.

I paid 70 bucks for 1.5 oz pour.

It was honestly a little over hyped and a little too fruity for my taste but i can see the hype.

Paid too much and will eventually overpay for a bottle but I didn't regret it.

It's more like one of those things you do to say you did it.

That's about $25-30 less than a bottle (now). CRAZY

I just finished one bottle, I still have 2 more lol.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Great game, mashack and james need to switch minutes.

Nope

 

[Score50]

Great team win. If somehow we could get JJJ going and keep Vescovi playing like he did today, then we could be watching a Final 4 team. We have to learn to take it on the road but we could have a special special year. To be determined but we should all enjoy the ride.

 

[I4Vols]

When we avoid the long scoring droughts, we’re really good

Was invested in watching the game, checked some past posts... IMO, vol4eva awarded post of the day. I didn't even realize it as I watched the "goodness" for 40 mins of basketball

 

[Special Ed]

The Vols were haulin' Oats today:

 

[MoCo_Vol]

That’s the sort of game ya want Santi to have too.

10 points, 5 assists, 2 steals, 2 rebounds, & 0 turnovers hit 33.3% from deep

I appreciate this

 

[volz2wallz]

GBO!!

 

[walkenvol]

Sears just trying to get points for his average now, hogging it

Sears gets bailed out repeatedly by the zebras - do better guys. Some of the fouls called on us were ridiculous!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Crazy to see this team pushing the pace as hard as we do. Never thought I’d see us make an adjustment like that but Barnes has completely retooled the offense and it’s paid off.

 

[CaliVol2009]

I'm going to assume ZZ draws Sears today. That might be the matchup that decides this game. As Mook pointed out, this is a huge league game. Would be a perfect setting for all our shooters to be "on" and it's not all on Knecht to win it. He's very good and I'm glad we have him, but I'm not sure we aren't making him more than he really is.

Maybe @CAVPUT is right, Knecht isn’t that great, he only scored 25 tonight. We probably really are making him more than he is.

 

[TheBigOne10]

GO TO HELL ALABAMA!!! We just opened up a can on your ass!

 

[YankeeVol]

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Maybe @CAVPUT is right, Knecht isn’t that great, he only scored 25 tonight. We probably really are making him more than he is.

Just his presence on the floor opens up a lot of things. The other team gives him so much attention it gives everybody else open shots. And yeah, when 25 is an off night and we win by 20 against a really good team, that says a lot.

 

[vols4lfe]

Aidoo's continued growth is just so much fun to watch. He's become so much more aggressive, and it seems those matchups against some of the best big guys has had a positive impact on him. His defense has always been there, but man it's awesome to see his offensive game improve and not just settling on those wide open shots from the top of the key, and three.

 

[YankeeVol]

 

[DowntownVol]

Mashack very quietly had an excellent game today. He's so good defensively.

 

[BowlBrother85]

There is no way Tennessee is losing a home game this year. They don't even have to play that well to win by double digits in TBA. Alabama actually has a decent team.

Yeah, I kept waiting for some of his threes to go in. I think he will start hitting those again soon.

 

[VOLtaism]

Since Gainey showed back up this team is the deepest I can ever remember. There is zero drop off anywhere with substitutions. Hitting 3's spreads the defense and opens it up inside for Dalton and Jonas.

 

[Lankykong]

Mashack very quietly had an excellent game today. He's so good defensively.

I loved that one possession where he ate two guys up and got a steal
