Most fans have trouble with how to count a "step" based on when the gather occurs. What qualifies as the "end of your dribble" and then if that happens in-between steps does the trail foot still count as a step or not. It's not nearly as easy or simple as most want to act. Especially with the increased skill level of players to adjust the timing of the gather and steps.

Right as the Vols tipped off, the final match of the NCAA Wrestling Championship started.

2nd Lieutenant Wyatt Hendrickson, 5th year SR - Ok State, walked down the tunnel with an American flag wrapped around him. President Trump in attendance.

He was maliciously greeted by Gable Steveson, arguably the greatest wrestler of our time - or all time. Multi-time national champion who forewent his final year eligibility a few years ago to join WWE. The man who didn't give up a single point on his way to an Olympic gold medal in 2020. Gable fell from grace in the WWE, tried to play for the Bills last year, then announced a few months ago he would return to Minnesota to win another championship. He was undefeated all season and didn't allow a single point leading into the final match this weekend.

Gable got in Hendrickson's face to inform him he could wear a flag when he has a gold medal. The ref separated Gable, Wyatt ignored him.

Down 4-2 with 30 seconds left, Wyatt Hendrickson got deep on a shot and was able to finish it. Taking a 5-4 lead and rode Gable out in the final 15 seconds for gold.

"THIS IS THE CRAZIEST MOMENT IN NCAA HISTORY" - Daniel Cormier and Jordan Burroughs

And now the Vols are up 7 after finishing the half strong.

If you don’t follow wrestling. You have no idea how huge this actually was. Biggest upset of all time, any sport? Gable did himself no favors by not riding when he had chances.

I was wondering what this upset could be compared to so we could understand it's magnitude better. Was it like when the yanks beat the ruskies in hockey? Bigger?

Awaka had 12 points and 14 rebounds yesterday. Could use that toughness right now. But we good.

I’m not worried about the guys who left, in the least. I thought at the time (there was much Henny Penny in the air) that Barnes would use the occasion to upgrade the roster. I think Barnes definitely succeeded in doing that. I thought so at the time the transfers signed on, and I still think so. Great job by Barnes.

To be called “old fashioned, Barnes sure is working the portal like he cut his teeth on it. Very impressive.

As much as I can't stand BOT and have him/her/it on ignore, finding someone online that uses "reading comprehension" as an attack and also believes in legalizing drugs isn't exactly like finding a unicorn. There's a lot of folks online that would check those boxes. However, I'm not exactly opposed to fudging the evidence if it boots BOT.

Did you know E.T. was a jedi?

His species appeared in the Galactic Senate, but he wasn't a Jedi. But it's possible there could have been Jedi within his species. Nothing supports your conclusion that E.T. himself was a Jedi as his powers were inherent to his species.

Yes!

I’m not sure how I suckered myself into caring that Hurley lost (even at that price) or that our league booted the ACC for the number of teams all-time record in the Sweet 16. But from here on out, I will laugh to see every other team in our league booted ASAP.

And I am definitely all about the Vols. Nothing else matters, at the end of the day.
