The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. #18 [3] Kentucky Game Thread, 7:39 PM ET, TBS/truTV

[Vols till I fall]

I’m still pissed at Fulmer for almost letting him walk.

He was a horrible AD

 

[NATHAN05]

I actually owe a correction from about 3 or 4 of my posts on here. Lanier actually wound up with a super quiet 17 pts and 4 rebs. I made several comments about him having a quiet night and being well guarded..........I apologize Chaz!!!!!........great game Chaz, ZZ, and Gainey.

Let that momentum roll right into Sunday please. I will be praying to 6 lb 8 oz baby Jesus at church Sunday morning for sure.

No one deserves a Final Four more than Rick Barnes. I am begging the basketball gods to give it to him.

Me too, but I'm greedy so I'm begging the basketball gods for a little more. Out-tough and outplay Houston or Purdue (big challenge either way) and then anything -- ANYTHING -- can happen. Especially with a senior point guard who's hungry.

 

[VOLtaism]

My goodness what a performance under pressure. I will never forget these guys. Nothing I can say, UK was never in this game.

 

[robcovol]

Should it happen, a win against Purdue and a trip to the Final Four would exorcise a lot of demons for me and every Tennessee fan out there.

 

[floridavol25]

That’s 3 of the final 8 from Sec.. come on Auburn hold up your end .. imagine if ole piss and cal a chockie would of held their leads

 

[hUTch2002]

He is pathetic all around. Like I said before he will do 1 good thing and follow it up 3-5 bad things that kills us

He did have a couple big buckets though.

 

[UTK]

BUMP!!!

Zakai ain’t the type of dude to do this unless he knows he’s about to back it up. He indeed did **** Kentucky lmao

 

[floridavol25]

If we don’t retire zieglers number it’s a crime … he has been everything for this program

 

[JCP201]

I liked those play by play guys, never heard those dudes before. They knew basketball and kept it pretty real and raw

And the refs didn't insert themselves to much into the game, which I enjoyed.

 

[Chaz-Vol]

The continuity with more experience favors the Vols Basketball team so the Vols could realistically find redemption with the desired victory vs that foe.

That plus they don't have that ogre Edey anymore

 

[2EastTnVols]

What gets me is, I know it’s your rival and you just got your ass kicked, but Rick Barnes is one of the most respectable coaches in the whole sport, shake that man’s hand

What did I miss? Who didn't shake Rick's hand?

 

[Chaz-Vol]

I think all VOLS fans would agree with that.

 

[BJWeeks]

Crazy to think we most likely are playing 3 straight #1 seeds to win it all

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Man, just killer play. Wtg, Barnes and boys. So good

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I’d love to see him on our coaching staff one day.

 

[newyorkvol]

It felt like UT was finally allowed to play like the favorite, like an actual “blue blood.”

 

[Chris4Vols22]

I’d love to see him on our coaching staff one day.

If he wants to coach, he will find success.

 

[therealitytheory]

Gainey putting his head down, driving thru the lane, and SLAMMING the dunk. Might be my favorite play of the year.

 

[casetopia]

Lmao Pope with the drive-by handshake

the butt hurt is definitely flowing thru him

 

[Godfatha]

Basketball team wins tonight, baseball team wins tonight, and the softball team took down #2 Oklahoma. Got to say it's a good night.

 

[I4Vols]

Heck of Vols' Day
Victory beer for Elite Eight, baseball beats the Cocks & Lady Vols take down Oklahoma in softball

 

[JCP201]

Gainey putting his head down, driving thru the lane, and SLAMMING the dunk. Might be my favorite play of the year.

I love Gainey. He quietly scores many points.

 

[Orangecrush#27]

Everyone wants to talk about Z, Lanier, and Gainey and they should. But Okpara with 8 points and 11 rebounds.

He’s the mvp for me. Dude set the tone under the basket from the first whistle. He dominated the Ky bigs and had them second guessing. His best game as a vol.
