19-6

 

[SpringBokVol]

I really don't understand how everyone seems to think this team is an NCAA lock but last years team who was hot at the end of the year - better than this team - didn't make it.

Seems strange.

But I will take it.

 

[Phil-A-Man Jaro]

Cuonzo wearing the orange jacket....hmm.

 

[Spartacavolus]

This is what I thought we would look like with Barton. Aggressive and on pace for 80. Shows you it could've happened. Just no consistency.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Dang, Cuonzo showing emotion.

 

[YankeeVol]

Barton again!

 

[RikidyBones]

Cuonzo wearing the orange jacket....hmm.

BBB. Soon.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Has barton finally arrived?!

I'm surprised at how hard the announcers are pushing UT as an NCAAT team.

 

[UTBasketball2]

This is glorious.

 

[Plecoptera]

Damn Barton, why couldn't you have done this a little more often this year?

 

[YankeeVol]

Vols killing it today

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

19-6

Wow! Nice start. Thanks.

The field as a whole is worse

 

[OrangeBalls]

Ha, no wonder he's praising Martin so much.

I usually like Barry except when he's calling UT-Vandy. It's like Conley calling any Ky game.

Barton is on so far.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

22-6

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Obviously Stallings is taking a dive to help save Martin's job.

(sarcasm).

 

[bnhunt]

Wow! Nice start. Thanks.

22-6. Barton with 3 early 3's.

 

[Mullins2010]

This Tennessee team can play with anyone....wished we saw this more

 

[PagingDrVol]

There's at least 15k here. This is the fullest upper deck I've seen all year (I'm in it right now). Everyone sitting up here is commenting on how disgusted they are with the student section being 25% full, and how it's "all about them and not the Vols".

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Oh wtf. How did we get up so big? DAMN MY WORKING TIL 5 AM!!

I actually think Booker stays pretty objective - probably better than most of us would do!

 

[bjsvols1]

This is what this team is supposed to look like. Obviously can't always shoot like this, but still, if you share the ball and make a few shots like this, you avoid bad losses. It's ashame it's taken this long. Vandy isn't good, but they give teams fits and play hard.

 

[Daloth]

Barton came to play today boys. This team acted very different body language wise from the get go

 

[Spartacavolus]

Barton can't stay that hot. But lets see if we try to run them out of the gym or slow it down. That last possession, we decided to run some clock and go into Stokes late, and he turned it over. Just keep playing. Stop worrying about running the motion offense.
