After tonight, just 16 teams will have the chance to compete for a national title. We will be one of them. Perennial powerhouses like Duke, Kansas, UNC, and Syracuse will not. I, like many others, have expressed doubt about Cuonzo Martin recently. I was wrong. Anyone who did was wrong. Go Vols
Louisville is playing as well as anyone in the country right now. Their 4 seed is a complete farce. I saw them whip my other school, SMU, at Moody Coliseum which is no easy task two weeks ago. Russ Smith is for real. I would much rather face UK than LouisvilleI know it's not likely, but I actually feel like we have a chance to win it all. We can beat anyone when we rebound and pound it inside. Louisville scares me more than any team in this tournament.
This is a talented, hardworking, well coached team. I have had doubts and even criticized Zo at times this year. This team is finally playing with full effort for every possession of the game. I give credit to Zo for getting 100% out of these kids. Earned my full respect.
During this 3 game stretch, this the hardest playing, best coached team I have seen in my many decades of watching UT bball...Pearl era included.
Congrats to these kids and Zo. Great day to be a vol!!
I am proud of Coach and this team. They have made a believer out of most of us, even those of us that were questioning them just a month ago. I agree the whole Bbb stuff was taking it too far, but let's be honest, this team hasn't played like this in 3 years. Bruce is gone, we are in the Sweet Sixteen, so why don't we all just enjoy the moment.
