The Official #4 Tennessee vs. #5 Duke NCAA Tournament Game Thread, 2:40 PM ET, CBS

[Putbacks]

Hulu went down with 6 to go and we had to have my brother hold up a rabbit ear to get signal. Finally got the game back with 48 seconds to go lol View attachment 541664

Whatever it takes!

Congrats on the win and the sweet 16. Final four is a real possibility.

On a grander scale, I think this game has real meaning for the future. With Boeheim, Roy Williams and Coach K gone, the football money rolling into the SEC, Oklahoma and Texas coming to the SEC, I think ACC basketball ain't ever going to be what it was and may regularly be second fiddle as a basketball conference to the SEC.

Duke attempted 7 free throws today. I can't remember their attempts being so low

Thanks for the bulletin board material Jay Bilas

I hope Bilas and Clark Kelloge keep picking against us!

 

[tbh]

Granted, it wasn't by fiddy...but hell yes, go Vols!

Rick Barnes now owns 4 out of the 7 seasons of 25 or more wins in UT's history.

And he's done that against the toughest schedules we've ever played.

The Dukies are whining about UT flopping lol. Love it.

Santi carried us in the first half and ON dominated the second half. We physically beat the shite out of Duke. Cakewalk game up next to go to the Elite 8!

 

[omghulkhands]

Man, I never would have guessed that Zeigler was holding the team back this whole time.

haha nice joke

 

[i2amavol]

I wouldn't go that far. Officiating has been awful for years in college basketball and the replay has somehow made it worse.

But yeah, that call to bail out Roach was godawful.

I wonder what we would have been talking about if we had lost (No, I don't).

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Did Duke Win?

Click it

Great post, I clicked twice

 

[tdvol]

No such thing as a cakewalk in the tourney

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Well there goes my bracket. What a game!!

Mines been gone since Day 1, congrats on making it this far!

Even critics of Barnes have to give him credit today. That was a brilliant game plan, and executed perfectly. Duke got their butts straight up whipped.

Was absolutely perfect coaching today

I didn’t get to watch the last 8 minutes bc Hulu decided to **** out… 100 dollars a month to miss Tennessee beat duke in the big tournament smh

I bought a $10 digital over-the-air antenna for just such an occasion. Mine crapped out, too. So I just swapped to the antenna input.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Great mental toughness by that team today. Play hard 40 minutes with no let up in intensity and no stupid mistakes. Barnes earned his salary today.

 

[lifeisdeep]

They let roach play after he clearly shouldn’t have been

I thought I had seen corrupt calls but that one was on a whole new level. “Oh, sorry, didn’t mean to foul out your best scorer, we’ll change it.”

Was trying to watch on Hulu had to switch…was terrible

UT going to 22-0 when holding opponents under 60 this season. Unbelievable

Not really unbelievable we have a lot of 5-6 yr players. They should be experts at running this defense by now.

 

[ndubvols]

Running out likes over here. Couldn’t be happier!

I wonder what we would have been talking about if we had lost (No, I don't).

I would probably have been discussing which bottle of bourbon to crack open next.

It’s still a good stat

 

[pimo1]

Duke never goes with a deep rotation.

But this was no rotation.. if Roach hadn't fouled out they would have only gone 6 deep. Waiting for stats to update on minutes played for the game but wow. Playing 4 freshmen pretty much the whole game.

 

[cwbytruckers]

I dont fear Kentucky by no means. But i honestly dont want to see them again. Especially if a final four birth is on the line. I dont want them being the reason we dont make our first ever trip.

They’re fortunate only Flip is getting cosmetic surgery.
