Total team effort today.

Can't believe Cams intensity and want.

Can't believe Stokes, tbh. Ezeli will be in the NBA next year, and had his lunch eaten by a kid that should be playing in hs playoffs. I liked tobias a lot. I like this kid even better.

Stokes hands down to me.

1. If you aren't happy with the job Cuonzo Martin has done this year, then I can't help you.

2. Jarnell Stokes was the best player on the floor tonight, and completely demolished Festus Ezeli. From a kid who should be playing in the high school tournament at Southwind. Incredible.

3. Trae Golden was a leader today. A flat out leader. He again was clutch and shut the door on Vandy.

4. Despite his inconsistency, Cam Tatum was one of the first to buy into what Coach Martin was selling, and went through A LOT with his knees, I think more than fans know. I was glad to have him as a Vol. And what a great way to go out. He completely shut down Jeff Taylor

5. I need to say something about Skylar McBee. That was gutsy. He gave all he can to Jenkins, and Jenkins was frustrated. I was very pleased with his defense. McRae did a good job too.

6. The first thing if I'm a reporter is asking Kevin Stallings what the hell he was doing not staying in a zone. That was completely stupid.

7. Jeronne Maymon deserves 1st team All-SEC. He gave them hell on the offensive rebound. I though Ezeli was going to say "No mas" at one point.

8. Tennessee shot 79.3% on 29 attemps. Vandy shot 50% on 16 attempts. There's your ballgame.

9. I've been following Tennessee basketball since 2004, so I'm lucky enough to watch some good basketball team. They aren't the best, but it's easy that I've never been so proud to watch a team at the University of Tennessee since watching UT athletics since 2001. Most people would have quit after December, and they went out and fought like hell. They deserve incredible amounts of praise.

10. But this season isn't done. Not by a long shot. Everyone says "Let's just get two wins". I disagree. Let's get three and bringing home the SEC Championship!

Go Vols!!!

Awesome win.

I never would've thought after Pearl was fired and Harris and Hopson left that we would be sitting at #2 in the SEC. Un-freakin-real. Helluva job by Martin and his staff and the players deserve a ton of credit for buying in and not quitting after the Austin Peay loss.

This team continues to amaze me. I'm almost speechless. Never would've thought we would finish 10-6 after those losses in Dec.

Awesome job Coach Martin and team.

Maybe I am wrong but this was one of the worst officated games I have seen this year. It was not balanced at all. There were several missed calls and no calls. Maybe my eyes were bad. Vandy had a chance to keep this game close but really only converted 1 out 8 times where calls went against us... That is the toughest that CCM has instilled in these players...

Quick tangent:

Despite not living up to his billing, Renaldo Woolridge is a true VFL. Dude was the first one to buy into Coach Martin, was a leader, and overall, improved, despite being overhyped. The students love him, and I've heard he's a good kid and is very active around campus. Also glad to have him as a Vol.

Glad you mentioned Renaldo. He's a leader and cheerleader on the bench when he could of whinned and pouted. He's ALL VOL and a VFL!!!:rock:

Outstanding job by Coach Martin and this team. No quit in them and they bring it on defense every game, that goes to the coaching and the character of these guys.Today was total team effort and it was great to see the whole team jumping around and surrounding Tatum after the game. GBO.

Vols outrebounded Vandy.

Vandy continues to forget how to play Basketball when they play the Vols. A missed dunk, and a execrable pass out of bounds, blocks, etc. Both Not 10 Plays.

Stokes made fools of Vandy that must be why Vandy decided to aggressively foul him.

That was a great win today! The Vols should have a little pep in their step headed to NO!

If they make to the finals and play UK fairly close they'll be in the NCAA.

I thought Woolridge might have gotten more minutes today if he hadn't started jacking up bad shots after he made that first one. Couldn't be more proud of our Vols right now though! Let's win this tourney and not worry about getting an at-large bid.

With the way the Vols are playing right now I think they could beat the UK Wildcats.
What could be sweeter than beating the UF Gators 3 straight times in one season, beating the UK Wildcats to deny them from winning the tournament making a statement.

I agree with you. I would love for this team to get another crack at UK!
