This is when I knew we were winning today.

Ellis never picks Tennessee. They all lost on Ark also. Lol

Good post. I thought the same thing but KY liked is on the boards when Uros took a breather second half. They had four offensive rebounds during one possession.

My concerns are;
1. Turnovers against press
2. Foul shooting - Chandler, Uros and Fulky look so uncomfortable on the foul line.

my reassurances are:
1. One of the best D’s in the country….while playing one of the toughest schedules.
2. Top 33 O combined with the #3 D (in efficiency).
3. Playing one of the toughest schedules in the country.
4. Beating teams like Arizona, Auburn, KY twice, LSU, Ark.
5. Great PG play
6. Tennessee has grown and developed

Say what you want about Cal but he gives TN and other teams credit when KY loses. He still gets on my nerves as a Vols’ fan but I respect a person who makes a comment as he did about an opponent who just beat his team. Go Vols!

Call’s easy to dislike with his recruiting tactics and incessant whining in game.

But his comments after a win or a loss are usually dignified, honest, and fair.

VaTech beating Duke basically puts aTm in a “win or else” scenario tomorrow

Fulky has been strong from the line the last 10 games or so

I think the media love affair with some of these coaches putting them on the tv during games tends to make us dislike them. How often did they show CRB vs Cal? Maybe 1/10th as often?

Yeah, but seems like every time they show him he’s in a ref’s ear whining about a foul - or lack thereof.

If all we saw of him was the interviews then he come across much better

I’m watching the last 10 minutes of this game again, and I’m able to do it with less emotion / stress.

Vescovi was absolutely clutch pulling down a couple of critical rebounds in the last couple of minutes.

100% agree.

Several people have them in no matter what

Last five games. 75% today, 50% Fri, 75%, 100% and 50% four of five last games. Not trying to Pile on the young man. Just saying that we miss foul shots at critical parts of game. Fulky is an asset to this team and a reason we are playing well.

Rick Barnes. What a guy.

Great win! I haven't had a chance to read through all the posts and threads yet, but has anyone heard (via social media/espn etc.) if there's a chance we get a 1 seed if we win tomorrow? Perhaps if Duke or Arizona lose their conference final tonight? Just curious since only minutes before today's tipoff, the pre-game coverage was quick to note that they had intel that UK would be on the 1 seed line with a win over Tennessee. Blue blood bias rearing it's ugly head agin. Anyways...GBO!

Snowballs chance in hell
