The Official Tennessee vs. Mercer Game Thread, 6:10 pm ET(03/23/14), TNT

[Aesius]

We're playing better than any team in the country.

If we keep this up, we can win it all.

 

[Dave1967]

Wouldn't you know John Adams is the coordinator of ncaa officials! All the fouls against us make sense now.

If John Adams was in charge Tennessee would be playing in the NIT.

 

[ToptheTerrible]

Did Kenny Smith just say jurisdicshunuhlee??? Damn.....

 

[SpringBokVol]

VCU went to the final 4

I meant this year.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Now my two game streak of having an interest in this sport is over. Maybe we'll do it again in 29 years.

Bye.

 

[LotteryPick]

This will be a close one.

I was wrong. Hell yes!

 

[SpringBokVol]

Barkley is def not a moron at all, though I do agree that didn't really make any sense. I guess he means we were very close to not making it? I don't know, but he did have us making the sweet 16, so he definitely thinks we have a strong team.

We were one of the last teams in. If it didn't fall the right way we would have been out. He is right.

 

[PowerOrange]

but the good thing is Rich and Barton picked his play up

Yeah for sure. My point was this team is playing so good it didn't even need its top scorer to make the sweet sixteen.

Richardson is a star now

 

[OrangeBalls]

You can't really blame them for calling UT fans out.....

Maybe they should've watched the sh*t shows that were UTEP, Vandy and the A & M sweep to see why people were pissed.

 

[Shakinthefat]

Just heard...Bruce Pearl going to Auburn.....SO who gives a......

 

[1974Vol]

Barkley is right. We were lucky to make the tournament! When you are one of the last 4 in; that's lucky. What you do with the opportunity is what counts. Now go get some wolverine!

I bet that's what your wife said last night......

[1974Vol]

Counzo can smile

You Have to be happy for this guy! GBO

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Not true. We would be home; not playing anywhere.

 

[Dave1967]

I bet that's what your wife said last night......

[OrangeBalls]

You mad breh?

Not at all. Just laughing at the idiot brigade that comes in like they knew this team would make the Sweet 16 all the way back in Dec-Jan. Yeah, well let's see your Vegas tickets then morons.

What's worse? The people clamoring for Pearl or the idiots who act like they knew this team was going to do this? If someone says they aren't slightly shocked, they're lying their ass off.

 

[Dave1967]

Not true. We would be home; not playing anywhere.

Tru dat!

 

[1985Vols]

Counzo can smile

Time to start the petition to give Cuonzo an extension and a big raise! He should at least be the 3rd highest paid coach in the SEC!

 

[SJAVol32]

Not at all. Just laughing at the idiot brigade that comes in like they knew this team would make the Sweet 16 all the way back in Dec-Jan. Yeah, well let's see your Vegas tickets then morons.

Yeah you mad breh.

I was at the game tonight. Shot too many 3s. Other than that we looked great. Need to pound it inside more and not take as many 3s against Michigan. Do that and we have a great chance to win.
