Does anyone on this site believe that we are here if the January "incident" didn't happen? I think our team became better and our coach became better. Amazing.

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.

DAMN. STRAIGHT. I have downed Pearl the vast majority of the past two years... but holy hell this year he has done a HELL of a job.

Simmons for OSU played 14 minutes in the first half and had 9 points....He ended the game with 9 points in 14 minutes.....Madsen played 7 minutes in the second half after getting 4 in the first half....

Buford, Turner and Diebler played all 40 minutes....

Tennessee wore them down....Who else has 10 guys that they can go to left in the tourney ???

Chism plays 35 minutes and gets only one foul....The Vols hit 12 of 15 free throws...

Tennessee outrebounded OSU 36-23..They had 18 offensive rebounds...HUSTLE right there....

Hat- do you feel that a matchup against MI St. benefits that Vols? Do you feel our halfcourt offense will be able to produce against them? (Given it is not our nature to be a halfcourt team?)

I think Tennessee is pretty much a halfcourt offensive team now. I think with Lucas out, Michigan State and Northern Iowa are similar enough that it doesn't matter which one UT draws.

I think we should all thank Thad Matta for switching to man and not playing more of that crazy 1-3-1

When the buzzer sounded at the end of the Memphis game, Tennessee was a team that was going to win around 20 games, slink into the NCAA Tournament, then be lucky to win one game.

Who should I be pulling for? Michigan St. or Northern Iowa? Who do we match up better with?

Since New Year's Day the Vols are 18-6...Beat the #1 and #2 ranked team in the nation and just beat another top 10 team tonight on a neutral court....

That incident galvanized this team, no doubt, but I sure do wish people would let it die.....

I agree that TN is a halfcourt team now... it would be interesting to see them against the ultimate halfcourt team/coach. But I would rather play Northern Iowa talent over MI St. any day. I think Northern Iowa must rely on the 3 more than MI St. and I would rather play the team that relies on the 3 any day of the week.

I can't come up with the right words to describe how proud I am of those Big Orange basketball players and the coaching staff but I will admit I almost broke something when they got that ten second call.
