The Official #8 Tennessee @ South Carolina Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, SEC Network

UT should be called college basketball's team of the week with 2 wins over 30 plus points. Maybe TCU if they had won today and possibly Rutgers.
I despise Vandy and can't wait to beat them and UK next week!!

You never get team of the week honors for beating two unranked teams.

Speaking of Olivier, he gives a damn good interview

Actually I think ALL our guys do. At least the ones I've heard. That's just not the norm for most college teams. JJJ, Santi, Olivier, ZZ, etc handle themselves extremely well. I think JJJ could be an excellent broadcaster RIGHT NOW! And the freshman all seem very sharp. Especially Awaka.

They might make an exception for those beatdowns coupled with the unexpected offensive output. A lot of top 25 coaches saw these 2 games and their hearts skipped a beat.

If this offense can develop to putting up a consistent 70 points they become a very hard team to handle.

ZZZ's great, he almost always says the right thing, but the New York comes out in him, every once in awhile

You can take the kid out of the Bronx but you can’t take the Bronx out of the kid. Errr… young man.

Vescovi provides soooo much more. For the record.

Key does too. He took a couple charges today. There’s nothing bad going on right now. I just hope we’re playing at the top of our game come March. That’s when it matters. I’m excited for sure!

The scary thing is this team can get better. The inside game gets pretty clogged and sloppy sometimes, and the transition defense could be improved. Aidoo is improving game by game, and if Phillips starts improving game to game - then watch out.

We are watching Phillips improve. Like his upside.

Who do you suppose Coach is going to mine out of NY this year? ZZZ and Tobe and ??????

Hopefully another diamond in the rough, or two

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Sounds like ORN might have just tipped his hand about if he would be coming back for a COVID year. Doesn’t sound like it.

The AP voters and some of these basketball pundits need to pay attention to more basketball than just the Big 10 and Big 12. Tennessee ain’t the #8 team in the country.

Truth

 

[Larkin]

Haven’t gone through the thread. Did anyone catch the One fly, we all fly on Nkamhoa’s dunk?

 

[will-you-shut-up-man]

I was at the game. It was like a mausoleum in there. Awful, awful team. I think the Vols can have a great season.

I saw it during the pregame

Man, what a win for the Vols!! Went early, stayed late. Vol fans everywhere and the Carolina fans sat on their hands most of the day. Dominant performance. Some Gamecock fan came walking into the bathroom afterwards: “Y’all got a ball team!!”
