The Official Tennessee vs. Virginia Game Thread, 7:00pm ET, ESPN2

Wow. Maybe I just got lucky. I recall the announcer saying a number over 20k and it wasn't even a big name team.

His first year or 2 I remember it was pretty full even before the SEC schedule, but his last 3-4 years it tailed off a bit.

Dale Ellis down low against a 7 footer. Not an ideal matchup.

Ellis owned him all day....Very few matched up with
Ellis....Michael Brooks missed a long jumper to tie the game...Not sure why he took that long of a shot with time to set up a good shot but he did...Ok now my blood pressure is up again lol.

It's hard to imagine a better 20 minutes of basketball from this group than what we just watched.

 

[OrangeAllDay]

He'll get picked, really needs to work on his handle and d to play much at the next level though.

His handle is ugly

I was 10 but remember that game. Ellis was incredible.

Okay. And how is that Ice cold? He's barely shot the ball. It's like saying stokes is on fire because he's 2-3. Dumb.

Edit: mcrae not stokes.

point taken, maybe he's getting into a shooting rhythm

There shouldn't be any reason on why we can't play like this all the time.

Looked like the team we have been looking for.

I'm impressed

Very, he will struggle against pros till it gets better.

Hope the second half is atleast half as good. Unfortunately, I fear a similar fate that TTU had when they played us. First half was just insane, then got blown out. While we aren't in a position to get blown out, I can see this ending up a tight game at the end with us trying to hold off a late run.

@StevenPearl22: Is there a new rule in TBA to be seated the entire game?”

@33brianwilliams: Quietest fans I the country n the most boring "

He seems like a guy that has to be involved a lot, but right now he's the 6th or 7th man. I like what I've seen from him this year as he seems to improve each game..especially defensively.

 

[gunner]

If UT scores 20 or more in the second half, they win by 10.

Truth. BWill speaks it.

 

[BadJerry20]

We just can't regress back to bad habits in the second half, have to keep our foot on their throat.

hopefully cuonzo has realized this. 3s wont always fall like that, but more good things than bad will happen playing like this.

To expect a team to shoot 100% from the line and over 70% from three is a bit outrageous man lol

Vol fans in general kinda suck at games. Neyland hasn't been rocking in years, and I don't just mean the last 5. I mean like since the late 90s.

You did see where he said it was the same under Pearl didn't you?

Hate on hater.

Do you know who Brian Williams is?

Did you miss the tweet about when they were #1?
