Okay, I'm really too tired to scour all of the threads to see if this has been posted or not, but has anyone seen this quote from Turner tonight?

"They got confident and started making plays,'' said Turner, who also had seven rebounds, five assists and six turnovers. "They played out of their minds and that was it."


Anyone think that was a back handed compliment? Seems like "tennessee had to play out of their minds" to win the game... and like they played their worst game to UT's best game.

I honestly feel like both teams played great games, and Turner gave all he could but he wasn't on the better TEAM...and the better TEAM won tonight.

He can quit GRIPING and COMPLAINING for calls... Ugh, that makes me sick. Even the coaches and fans do it.. (Watch at the end of the game---three coaches are screaming and the referees for the no call...one of the coaches almost falls to the ground in shock).

Go Vols!

Eh. We are playing at a higher level than we did through most of the regular season. I will give turner the benefit of the doubt that that is what he was eluding to, and not being a jerk.

I dont see that as a sneaky cheap shot at all. We did play out of our minds, and he seems like one of the classier stars in college basketball. I didnt see him showboat or any of that non sense during the game.

Turner is the opposite of a punk he's actually a really good kid and said nothing that wasn't true.

Turner whined and complained more than the UT players. Then he blew of Diebler's attempt to help him up after the game and walked right out of the gym. Did he even shake hands afterwards? I think he has been listening too much to the media hyping him up, to the point that he EXPECTS to get star calls. Make no mistake, he is a bleeping stud that will make a lot of money at the next level. He is also a bit of a punk.

That was not playing out of our minds. That was a darn well-planned, workman-like, defensive game against an opponent that could not stop our inside game. I've seen better from us -- and a whole lot worse.

Honestly, I can't fault him too much. He personally put so much effort into this game, it has to hurt to lose. I just think if i was in his position, I would not feel up to speaking to the media or anyone for that matter. Just my very humble opinion.

According to these guys he is. I believe he walked off the field and didnt shake hands after the super bowl. Come on guys the kid played his last game at osu, u expect him to be up beat after losing? lol

it is pretty presumptuous to presuppose that "playing out of their minds" is a backhanded compliment........I know I would hate for someone to say that about me (sarcasm).

I don't think he meant that as a shot towards us. I think he was right about playing out of our mind toward the end though. We've played at a higher level in tournament play than we did all season. As long as we win, I don't care what the other team has to say.

Turner played great tonight, I just didn't think he was totally right saying JP's block was a call that could have gone either way (on SportsCenter during his post-game PC).
And he had a face worse than Brian Williams when he was called for a foul.

Peyton Manning is a punk. But he's OUR punk. I may be a fan of his, but I'm not going to pretend that he isn't a jerk sometimes. Point guards and QB's are similar in that they both tend to have a little cockier attitude. Nothing wrong with it I suppose... Just the nature of the positions. I still think the comment about the block/foul could've been handled better by Turner. There's like 3 or 4 angles of the play on tv, and it was definitely all ball. He knew it, but he didn't say it.

Turner is one of the best players we've come against all season.

I'm getting about tired of people throwing around the word "punk" in the wrong context around here.

Him being called punk has nothing to do with how good of a player he is.

Man you're bitter. I'm sorry your #1 team lost to him, but at least your backup did the job.

Just made it to the elite 8 for the 1st time EVER and you want to find something negative.

Some people will never be happy

I agree, but I don't expect anybody who just lost a game and got a mic shoved in their face to happy about it.
