The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. #11 [3] Creighton Game Thread, 10:09 PM ET, TBS/truTV

Outstanding, gritty team win. That 18-0 run was something special, and DK came up huge when we started leaking oil a bit there. Special props to Mashack and Awaka, both of who came up with huge plays when we needed them most. I love this team, and can't wait to see if they can slay the behemoth on Sunday.

Don’t want to hear another damn thing about Bruce Pearl. Barnes is our legend.

Awaka ready to open up a 55 gallon drum of whoop ass on Edey. Punish him!

I sure hope so. This team can be really special. Got to step up and play their game to get to the final 4

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

What will get lost today is Barnes was masterful with his decisions. Thst was his best game coaching since he’s been here.

Yes. Rick makes great adjustments and also often draws up a quick score out of a timeout

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Suck it, Bruce.

 

[johnboyhunter]

Class move by crieghton’s coach

Agree , lot of love for his players.

 

[Vols All Day]

Awaka looked so much better than Aidoo. I think Aidoo needs to be on a short leash Sunday

I thought he would turn it around after JJJ and JM blocked the big guy, but he just doesn't have that dog in him.

Mashack MVP per Vol Network. Can't argue with it.

 

[vavolfan6]

ZZ forced them to change who brought the ball up. That's ridiculous

ZZ was great. So was Mashack. We get that with ZZ every game, all the time. On the other hand, for Mashack to step in with Santi being out and completely alter the game was MVP worthy.

It was evident when Mashack went out with 2 fouls in the 1st and Creighton made a run. Then when he came back in the 2nd half we were able to go on that 18-0 run. He was a difference maker. Not sure why that is a ridiculous thought.

 

[VolBricks]

Damn, I love Bruce."How bout them Vols"

 

[knoxchief]

Tell everybody that had to leave the room because of nerves, they can come back in.

My son was over watching the game. He was in the hospital last night with high blood pressure. No wonder. He likes the march madness games and is a true VOL fan. Hope he is not having to go to hospital tonight

 

[EaglesVols91]

Pearl is still All Vol lol

 

[CPA]

Vol network said Mashack was their player of game.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I just have to say SUCK IT JJJ haters. Legacy game for him. ICE COLD!!!!!!

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Damn, I love Bruce."How bout them Vols"

Booooooo

 

[PA Vol]

We are 4-1 against teams in the Elite 8 and only lost to Purdue by four.

Let’s get it done.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

I like this creighton team minus their leading scorer tonight the kid that cried for a foul every time he missed a shot. What a baby go home

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

Tobe was a man today.

JJJ…I’ve criticized him all year but he had an amazing game.

DK did DK stuff as usual

Mashack is our best on ball defender.

ZZ was the best version of himself all season. Never came out.

 

[Frozevol]

ok do yall think we can fix aidoo in the next 48 hours?

This will be one game where he should shoot the midrange shots, because he can’t shoot those soft layups against Edey. The goon doesn’t even foul. I say Awaka in beast mode and we need Knecht to hit 40 because JJJ typically can’t give us two good games in a row. I hope no one else catches Vescovi’s bug. We should have sat him maskless behind Purdues bench.

 

[Caz]

Awaka looked so much better than Aidoo. I think Aidoo needs to be on a short leash Sunday

Need to feed Aidoo some raw meat. He was so not there tonight!

 

[gainesvol82]

Maybe Creighton should have been playing like there is 15s on the clock and behind all game. Can’t believe the 3s they have dropped this last minute

All but a couple of open 3's in the first half were the same type of low percentage shots.

 

[Vol737]

You don’t. Time for a victory joint and a dash of trolling.

Lulz

 

[TheBigOne10]

Candace is a smoke show

 

[UTodd01]

So proud of JJJ tonight. MVP of the game.

 

[hUTch2002]

Awaka had the massive 3-point play followed by a rebound off a missed FT. That’s where I felt we started nailing the coffin shut.
