UF staff should be ashamed that they put Clayton back out there on a sprained ankle to let him roll it again. Didn’t even look like a heavy tape job. Need to show that to every player they recruit going forward. Completely irresponsible

 

[firestorm]

Florida losing by under 20 today is a moral victory.

Florida can’t get that done because they lost by 20 points.

 

[D3Athlete]

Top 3 Rick Barnes coaching performance. That was an absolute master class.
Best defensive in America as well. No argument after this game.

 

[vols 30]

Yeah…all those saying we had no chance absolutely is embarrassing!!

I said it. I'm not embarrassed though

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

This has to be an ego killer for Fla.Not because they lost in Knoxville but how they lost with Tn playing with 2 starters out

...and has to be an ego boost for the Vols.

 

[Tenacjim]

Wish we coulda won by 30 to fully return the favor...but a blowout win like this is nice payback.

Missing ZZ and IM, I feel winning by 20 is just as bad as for FL.

 

[rocketskates]

And ESPN instantly cuts away from biggest win of this day.

Cut right to the Johni Broome crying show

Should the tennessee staff be ashamed for bringing Zeigler back out in the Kentucky game

 

[Go47]

Great game. Unreal effort and grit.

 

[I4Vols]

I'm not a nutritionist, but I believe today this is good for my health

 

[firestorm]

Tennessee bulldozed Florida by 20 points in a game that became an uncompetitive embarrassment in the second half.

To quote Darth Vader because it fits completely for the second half.

 

[Namorto1]

Unbelievable win, potentially season changing, given the circumstances. We learned some new things and tweaks to our offense today that may benefit us the rest of the way. Play more through Gainey, both as scorer and facilitator on offense. Get into that paint and stop relying on perimeter shooting exclusively. Lanier is a better complementary scorer and don't force him to handle the ball. Continue to dominate the boards with everyone contributing and keep turnovers to a minimum.

 

[deatojl]

Once again Vegas shows they know more than we do….I had no expectations of this being a close game

It wasn't a close game.

 

[RAVOL]

Great W total team effort is believe having early start was our advantage especially down to such short roster. Felix does have some back to basket game hopefully this feeds his confidence because getting few of these with few lobs helps perimeter game. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Big Orange Rock]

Missing ZZ and IM, I feel winning by 20 is just as bad as for FL.

Agreed a real slap in the face.

 

[feathersax]

OK, you Barnes-haters, fair-weather fans, trolls, happiness vacuums, etc.....where ARE ya? C'mon out from under your mossy rocks & see the Big Orange light.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Once again Vegas shows they know more than we do….I had no expectations of this being a close game

Hindsight is 20/20. The spread was just 4.5

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Gainey handled the point extremely well today because he's a f'ing gamer. He generally comes up big when we need him most

 

[rocketskates]

Pretty insane. I was shocked when the line didn’t move at all. But you know what they say, all of those buildings were built on the backs of winners.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

OK, you Barnes-haters, fair-weather fans, trolls, happiness vacuums, etc.....where ARE ya? C'mon out from under your mossy rocks & see the Big Orange light.

They've been gone since the end of the first half

Should the tennessee staff be ashamed for bringing Zeigler back out in the Kentucky game

I’ve played sports with a hyperextended knee and a sprained ankle. Not the same injury and not the same risk of making it severely worse.

Probably playing him last game impacted his ability to play today but that’s swelling and not ligament damage.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

I had a good feeling about today, our offensive ticket is work inside out. We got to attack the paint and play tough D. It’s easier to get open 3’s when you attack inside. It’s easy to defend teams that just jack up contested or hurried 3’s. Today was a great blue print for us going forward. GBO

...and has to be an ego boost for the Vols.

I hope
