They are great team players and they don't pout and let it impact their defense when their shots aren't falling.You can say Admiral and Williams had off nights to a degree. But what makes them special is their ability to create plays for another when not scoring themselves. Their unselfish play and knowing they have capable teammates around them is a big reason for this team's success

I'd still much rather play this team than a healthy 2008 squad. This team plays well together and is supremely good. That team played well together and had all time great talent on top of guys who were just as tough as Admiral or Williams (and anyone who thinks otherwise can go get a few chemo treatments and see how they feel.)
I've said it repeatedly and people don't like the reality of it, but until this team gets beyond an elite eight it really doesn't matter, and its likely nothing we do will ever top that #1 vs #2 game with Memphis either, but thats not their fault as it requires an elite opponent as well. Gonzaga and Kansas both have been good. That Memphis squad was all time good.
We don't won this game a year ago is not an opinion. It's a fact.Tough test. Cuonzo teams always play hard. We don't win this game a year ago in my opinion. The tried and true nature of this team definitely shows. With Bowden, Bone, Alexander, etc. playing at such a high level will open up better opportunities for PB&J in future games. GBO!!!

Really surprised by Williams’ struggles.But of course others stepped up including Turner, in signature fashion. Fulky logger productive minutes and I expected Bowden to have another good game . Schofield did what senior leaders do. Far from his best game but he still worked hard and helped to get it done.
Two games isn’t a trend, but it’s potentially the beginning of a turning point for Alexander and potentially this team. He is a major reason for our margin of victory the last two games. MVP tonight for sure
Can Bone get drafted? He looks like an NBA talent...
A much bigger test in Gainesville this weekend. Certainly the biggest test in the first half of SEC play and important for an SEC title.
Agreed...those 3pt shot at times were breathtaking. Wayne Chism--still one of my favorite Vols. Pearl's time was a success but like you said--this team is built different than anything I've seen in 30 yrs watching. You're right about tourneys--we proved it last year and we're a better team now.Agree, I loved those teams, lots of fun raining 3s and a bunch of great wins. However, they could get bogged down in grind out games, especially in tournaments.
This team doesn’t have any significant weakness. I suspect we will do better in the post season tourneys.

This may be the oddest but funniest analogy I've seen. Thanks for making me laugh this morning!Il say right off that I have no crystal ball but two years ago I said Kyle was going to be a huge impact for us. Finally I am correct about something. I love me some Kyle, he reminds me of a fart... Silent but Violent
