The Official #12 Tennessee vs. North Carolina State Game Thread, 10:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Since the under 4 timeout, our older guys absolutely balled out. That was beautiful. And a game we probably lose last year or 2.

 

[Vol49er]

It doesn’t really apply in any sport, but people use it all the time in all of them anyways. It’s the best you can compare until you get a h2h

It’s not actually. You can just look at both teams entire resumes rather than judging both by a single game each

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Great to see ZZ and James playing well.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Awaka is a damn man!

 

[LordVOLdemort]

AWAKA! He stepped tonight in a big way

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Great win!!!! JJJ and Z led the team as they should. Still, not a top 25 team in my opinion. I know that makes folks mad. Things are just too hard for this team when it shouldn’t be.

 

[Putbacks]

The Great Awaka-ing!

 

[tnvols72]

Awaka is better than Aidoo

 

[GBO18]

Let’s work on the press break.

 

[VolGee4]

This is a team Ole Miss defeated by 20 points last month, not sure why offensive consistency and ongoing production is so hard for Barnes,

Offense was fine. OM won at home. OM also beat Detroit Mercy by one, Temple by one, and Sam Houston by three. But I guess those don’t count,

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

These last two minutes have been beautiful after an overall rough one at times.

All of this without Aidoo and Knecht doing much of anything. That’s a positive for sure and something we can build on.

 

[Christian Lowe]

It all started 2 years ago when he spent an entire month screaming about how Tony Vitello is leaving us for LSU. He hasn’t been happy for a single second since then.

i wish I cared enough about anything you’ve said to remember it that long

 

[orangejuice]

So are we good again or are still going to come in last in the SEC?

 

[87&91ALUM]

79-70 24.1 to go. Great performance by JJJ. AND zz

 

[omghulkhands]

I’m rarely negative. But this game had no business being so close down the stretch. We are a lot more talented than this team.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

5/7 from the 3. Damn JJJ, do it bro

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Tobe Awaka the unsung hero tonight. Some HUGE minutes down the stretch.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

That ought to do it.
Lard Butt is eager to get at the deli tray in the Wolfpack locker room

 

[Vols All Day]

NC State’s game plan was to make the others beat them and they did. If DK will make the play that is there, the game will start to open back up for him. DK is attracting a crowd, he needs to pass the ball to the open man.

 

[TheBigOne10]

It all started 2 years ago when he spent an entire month screaming about how Tony Vitello is leaving us for LSU. He hasn’t been happy for a single second since then.

Lol I remember that. I won’t block him b/c I find it entertaining. Sad, because I worry about his blood pressure.

 

[volfanhill]

Let’s work on the press break.

We were great against it tonight

 

[Christian Lowe]

It’s not actually. You can just look at both teams entire resumes rather than judging both by a single game each

Okay.. we have two good wins, so do they.

 

[Voljayton]

A lot of guys that have been pretty quiet showing up tonight! Knecht down and everyone else steps up. Great job team!

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Best game of the year for Josiah, ZZ and Awaka. Nice to see.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Awaka making a strong case for more playing time
