The Official #17 vs. #3 Houston Game Thread, 6:00 PM ET, TNT

[YankeeVol]

Gonzaga, Auburn, Kansas, Michigan

Any of those should be an iconic matchup too

I want Meatchicken.

I really don't like them in any sport.

You will not see that kind of hustle in the NBA anymore.

lol yes you do.

 

[hUTch2002]

I’m just giddy. Spanking Florida at the Swamp and now this? I can’t help but smile. I’m fired up! Let’s play the next game now! I’ll suit up.

This.

 

[YankeeVol]

Top 10 next week?

I would imagine

Houston is just us, but….much better. Just like last year. It is what it is.

I'm not doing this to call anyone out ( especially not @TheMookieMonster ). He's a great poster. I like reading his stuff.

I'm just using this post as an example of why I never post in the game threads, until after the game is over .... I hate the taste of crow, and the VN faithful loves to serve it.

 

[Vols All Day]

If Abrams and Burg can figure out their roles on this team, this team is going to be extremely hard to beat.

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

Carey’s tip in was the key to the win down the stretch. I’m liking this guy.

He was a bully and a stud at Vandy

No more running silent for Tennessee. Most of the media has kind of handwaved the Vols going into this season, but not anymore. The word is out and the word is that the Vols can contend. Good game and good luck to those men in orange tomorrow.

With so many new players, plus losing ZZ and Mashack, an apprehension to not rank as high early season was probably warranted. We will be in the top ten next week if not the top 5

Top 10 next week?

I mean, win tomorrow and we are top 3

 

[hUTch2002]

Having 2 legit scoring threats is huge. One is off, ok, the other leads.

 

[Plecoptera]

I’m proud of how the Vols closed this game out. The free throw shooting was clutch.

 

[LivinginthePast]

Is tomorrow the championship of this tourney ?

 

[#1HomeGrownUTVOL]

Carey. 13 & 7

Huge

He is a beast, one of my favorite off-season additions

 

[OrangeVolMan]

lol yes you do.

Nope. You don’t.

 

[SKV84]

Ament hit 7 of 8 FTs.

Not his best game, but he only had 1 TO.

Some people in here are ready to kick him off the team.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

You know you have to watch/listen the same way tomorrow now

Ha....ok, listened to first half on raido on the way home, so I'm going to have to do that and then switch to neighbor's speaker phone at 1 minute

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

I would imagine

No question

 

[LivinginthePast]

I mean, win tomorrow and we are top 3

Would make a wonderful thanksgiving brother.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

For anyone asking…

The top 4 will play tomorrow. There will be a 3rd place game between 3-4 and championship game between 1-2.

I’m trying to look at the standings as of now. I think I saw there was 2 2-0 teams earlier.

I do know the standings will go by point differential between tied teams. (For me it’s like softball pool play games lol)

who?

Bro he reminds me of Grant Williams.

Huh??? Have you watched the NBA?

 

[VolsLFC]

I was bad luck boys. Went to dinner with the family and now just saw we won.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Top 10 next week?

Have to be. We didn’t just win, we made a statement
