O.K. Let’s Admit It:

[Volnuck]

Most of us did not see this coming. Thank you guys, GO VOLS!

 

[connor]

This win made the season imo.

 

[Vols till I fall]

And for all those people saying retirirement rick is just coaching at Tennessee for the paycheck owe him an apology

That was a HELL OF A COACHING JOB

 

[volbound1700]

I actually had Tennessee winning this one but I had them losing to Purdue. Purdue isn't there anymore...

I mean we were risky but we grew up. We had a lot of tough losses/adversity that could have gone another way.

 

[OrangeBoro]

Never been so glad to have been wrong. I own it and happy to do so

 

[GAVol]

Most of us did not see this coming. Thank you guys, GO VOLS!

We’ve beaten Kansas, Gonzaga and Kansas. This isn’t surprising.

 

[TC 83]

I did.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I didn't think we'd win, I was expecting another heartbreaker.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Could they do it?

The first half of the season said they could.

Would they do it?

The second half of the season gave plenty of reason for doubt.

Great Great win. Now they need to do more with it.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Considering dukes level of competition, no.

 

[Schasz]

How Sweet it is...Sweet 16 Baby. This team has played tough Defense all year and today was no different! All we needed was for someone to step on the Offense and thank you ON for taking over the 2nd half. It was a real clinic by him! GBO!

 

[Hbg]

Most of us did not see this coming. Thank you guys, GO VOLS!

If not most of you haven’t been paying attention this year.

 

[vflducksmith]

Me too cheers

I did.

 

[General Jack]

Doesn't get much better than manhandling duke to advance to the sweet 16.

 

[pimo1]

The weird thing is we likely have a legit path to the Elite 8 now.. won't that be our second in history and shut up all the Pearl fans I mean if we make the final four would that make Barnes the best coach in TN basketball history? he will likely move into 3rd all-time wins next season I think he needs like 18 wins to take that spot.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

We’ve beaten Kansas, Gonzaga and Kansas. This isn’t surprising.

Come on, all things considered, it is certainly more surprising than not.

 

[TennVols12]

Enjoy it tonight, then gotta put it behind, there’s a reason FDU/FAU are still around. It’s NUTS, but the sky is the limit, LETS GO BOYS!!!!

 

[TC 83]

Me too cheers

I hate and rarely ever bet on TN but I know a sucker bet when I see it. Steak tonight. Cheers to the suckers who thought Duke was going to roll today. GBO

 

[Ovol]

Duke didn’t see it coming. Two bald headed refs didn’t see it coming, they spent all their time watching Uros.trying to make sure he didn’t scowl at a Duke player.

 

[volfeeva]

Where has this Vol team been? I hope they can keep this mojo. One of the best games I've seen them play all season.

 

[GAVol]

Come on, all things considered, it is certainly more surprising than not.

It’s not though. We had a rough last couple of weeks, but this team has played a lot of big games and you know they’re going to defend every time out. What’s surprising about a 4 seed getting chalk wins and making the Sweet 16?

 

[volsarelife1]

Some of us seen it coming

I'm feeling good about this one. Duke hasn't faced a defense like ours. We need to be aggressive from the tip and try to overwhelm them if possible

 

[TennVols12]

Could you imagine…beating FAU in the S16, Kentucky in the E8, Bama in the F4, and Kansas for the WHOLE DAMN THING? It’s a serious reality now, and it all continues on Thursday! AHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Ovol]

Adapting to playing without ZZ?

 

[calban]

TN got losing out their system at just the right time. Duke on the other hand was due one. Proud day in TN.
