1. It wouldn't have been right for this team to make history easily. That was a tremendous NCAA Tournament game.
2. Wayne Chism will play yet another game. That's an outstanding thing.
3. Without Brian Williams, Tennessee doesn't play Sunday. The tip on one end, followed by altering Evan Turner's shot on the other, carried the day.
4. Bobby Maze did exactly what a senior point guard has to do in March. It gets no more clutch than those two free throws.
5. Melvin Goins' pressure of Turner was key to wearing him down. It was like body shots in boxing.
6. Scotty Hopson's flurry after the awful charge call on him was great to see. Most of the night he was the 10th best player on the floor.
7. Taking a 10 second call at the end of a game is inexcusable. It would have been atrocious if that had cost UT a spot in the regional final Sunday.
8. Cam Tatum is finally becoming the player a number of us thought he could be. He kept the Vols breathing in the first half.
9. No excuses for failing to reach Indianapolis now. Tennessee is simply better than either possible Sunday opponent.
10. The fact I think there are a number of coaches who could get Tennessee to an Elite Eight is no longer relevant. The guy coaching here now has and he deserves all the kudos that come with that.

Hat, your reports all season have been great. Thanks.

It is an excellent chance for Tennessee to get to the final four.

I about lost it when we got that call and I got more upset when Thad Matta looked down at Bruce Pearl like he owned him or something.

11. Poetic Justice - JP Prince blocking a 3 to win the game without getting a foul called on him.

With all that was on the line, this was the best game the team has played. Everyone that played contributed. We pounded the paint and will continue to win as long as the team plays to that strength. Can't wait until Sunday.

Hat, you've given great reports all season. It is something I look forward to and it is appreciated. By the way, how's that opinion on Pearl tracking right now?

Oddly enough Scotty Hopson sparks the run to take the lead, the kid is an anomaly.

Agreed on all counts. If somebody had told me that Tennessee would be a game against an inferior opponent away from the Final Four a few months ago, I would have told him that he was mad

What does he know?

Digger said earlier in the day that UT didn't have a bench either when Davis mentioned it would be an advantage for us...I seriously wonder if they even watch the games.

Hat, #10 made me shed a tear. Pearl is over the hump. From here anything is possible. I feel nothing can stop this team and it is there for the taking!!!!!!!!!!!!!
