[Plecoptera]

Yemi is really playing well tonight.

 

[YankeeVol]

Vols up 35-32 at the half. I'll take it

 

[7thgroupvolfan]

We hit a FT!!

 

[berryvol]

Yemi is a beast!

Can't tell if serious...

 

[LotteryPick]

Helluva an effort. Love it.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Just be there at the end

 

[pualsline]

He went to help him up, but two UT teammates were already there.

Looked like the UT teammates hustled over to make sure he didn't mess with McCrae I thought.

All day..errday

 

[zjcvols]

Can't tell if serious...

He gave UT great minutes just now.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

No quit in this team.

 

[Ace]

Yemi controlling the boards

Nah, they went and picked him up.

I highly doubt Young was looking to do anything.

 

[Plecoptera]

Considering the slow start, I'm pleased that we are up at the half. Sounds like TBA is really rocking tonight:rock:.

 

[ndubvols]

biiig minutes from yemi there. They stopped going to Young for some reason which helped too

 

[volmanbill]

UT getting +6 for second half.

 

[bornbleddinorange]

Start off the 2nd half strong and run away with it

 

[BlueHalo]

Those knocking Yemi don't understand the true value of tight D , hustle, and rebounding. Dude is killing it. A few errors, yeah, but overall a good asset.

 

[jspvol76]

Going into the half with the lead is huge. Hopefully we will wear them down in the 2nd with the lack of depth.

 

[BigALWiLson]

Florida is a good team. Will likely at least go to the Sweet 16. Could be Final Four. Stokes will have to be a big factor in the 2nd half. I think we win because I think we are tougher

 

[7thgroupvolfan]

He gave UT great minutes just now.

I'm glad we have him. He plays hard and is very solid under the basket.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

He went to help him up, but two UT teammates were already there.

Yea, right... He went to stand over him while arguing the call

 

[tnvols72]

trae and stokes are going to have to score for tn to have a chance

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Good half of fight

 

[99gator]

someone else is going to need to get points besides mcrae in the 2nd half.

stokes is going to need to hit free throws as the florida bigs have 1 foul.

tennessee does that and maintains defensive intensity, they'll get it done

 

[zjcvols]

Golden/Stokes are 3-13 and UT is up by three.
