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

Well done Mashack!!

 

[NEO]

Dalton could have had 30+. He needs some Mamba

That 3 man zone and 2 man man to man confused the hell out of us for about 3 minutes. The screen for his first three and then him do low to high for 3s helped him get back in it but we need to have a scheme to run to offset that. It was funky as hell but it didn’t mess us up for a bit.

 

[Matt2496]

It feels great to finally break the Sweet 16 barrier! Obviously, I want us to win our Elite 8 game, but even if we lose I'm proud of this team and what they've accomplished.

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Let's give a big shout-out to the Tennessee bench. Without Vescovi, Barnes had to go deep down the bench tonight and they responded.

 

[djohnnyg]

Can't believe Duke is in the mix AGAIN...in a down year where they lost to UNC twice.

 

[austexvol]

Woohoo!!! Go Big Orange!!! So proud of our Vols!!! Now, let’s go whip some Purdue butt!!!

 

[VolBalls33]

What a great win!! James, Knecht, Gainey, ZZ, Awaka and Mashack all played their parts. Aidoo/Awaka need career games on Sunday. Let's GBO!!

 

[BreatheUT]

Bruce Pearl has been phenomenal with his analysis.

 

[Jxn Vol]

Start Estrella on Sunday and have him take Edey’s head off on his first layup. And then hammer him on his next 2-3 shots.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Yep, Pearl does still love us. But Barnes is our legend.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

What a great ballgame we just watched! That was 2 really good teams that we just watched, go toe to toe in an instant classic, sweet 16 game!

 

[volbound1700]

Team effort bit I want to especially call out Josiah Jordan James who had a heck of a game

 

[ATC_VOL]

Yessssss!!!!!!!!

 

[Namorto1]

Why are these folks kissing Pearl’s ass.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Next game would be huge if Jonas goes off, we haven’t seen him take over yet like he can.

I’m sure they will have plans to try to do the impossible and get Edey in foul trouble early by getting to him and see what he can do

 

[vols 30]

It feels great to finally break the Sweet 16 barrier! Obviously, I want us to win our Elite 8 game, but even if we lose I'm proud of this team and what they've accomplished.

Greatest season ever

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Most important player next game: Jonas Aidoo

 

[Voltopia]

Post-game on CBS, Candace Parker and Bruce Pearl are unloading a mountain of love on Tennessee. Actually, they're all praising the hell out of Tennessee. What is this feeling I'm feeling? Is this ... is this basketball joy?

 

[OrangeInKy]

Why are these folks kissing Pearl’s ass.

They are Volnation members?

 

[volplaya8]

Yep, Pearl does still love us. But Barnes is our legend.

He knows he screwed the pooch

 

[Jravol78]

Good stuff with Candace Parker and Bruce Pearl on post game

 

[Vols All Day]

ZZ wasn't himself yet and I believe Awaka had an ankle injury the last time the Vols played Purdue. If DK don't let that same guy get going again. I like the Vols chances.

 

[Frozevol]

Bruce Pearl just gave us some serious love and Candace reciprocated. Everyone loves a winner.

 

[GAVol]

Bruce Pearl has been phenomenal with his analysis.

The whole panel has been good. Candace Parker has been an absolute superstar.

 

[BreatheUT]

I love hearing the analysis after a huge win.
