Put the Volunteers in the Sweet Sixteen for the fourth time in the last eight years (2007, 2008, 2010).

Give Cuonzo Matrin a 3-0 head coaching record in NCAA Tournament games.

Give the Vols at least 24 wins for just the fifth time in school history.

Make the Vols 7-1 this march.

Just saw on the bottom line that Mercer has a senior out with a concussion. Was he an impact player?

Not really but he did add depth for them at the pf position.


GoVols!

extra fouls against Stokes and Maymon

 

[Kurtastrophe]

They certainly could use those fouls. Interesting.

Fans do not play, but Mercer is bringing up 9 bus loads. Totally believable as they brought at least 4 on Friday. They were VERY loud. Need to get a lead and keep it or that extra 'man' will be a factor. Picked up our tickets and are up about 10 rows behind the VOL bench... getting ready for tomorrow....GBO

 

[bleedingTNorange]

I think getting a lead could definitely be huge. They're a team that executes very well, and if it's close down the stretch they'll have the crowd behind them also. Would love another wire to wire win, games like Iowa are taking years off my life.

Has the line really moved to 7.5?

:question:

+ or - UT? I don't bet (and therefore don't know where to look) but Vegas is usually on so want to know what they think

Edit: NM, I could LOOK at the OP...sorry

 

[Mullins2010]

Go Vols!

 

[71VOL]

Vols 67 Bears 49... GBO!!!!

 

[BadJerry20]

I'm just glad I can watch this game in real time, instead of recording and dodging the score all day. While I've almost mastered this, it's still a pain in my booty butt.
