The Official #4 Tennessee vs. #5 Duke NCAA Tournament Game Thread, 2:40 PM ET, CBS

[ColinS]

Regardless of what happens in the Sweet 16, beating Duke to get there salvaged the season for me.

I'm good no matter what happens from here.

 

[Voldog1998]

UT going to 22-0 when holding opponents under 60 this season. Unbelievable

Unbelievable stat and that’s why if we play like that and how we played today then we can make it to the final four.

I didn’t get to watch the last 8 minutes bc Hulu decided to **** out… 100 dollars a month to miss Tennessee beat duke in the big tournament smh

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

What was the over/under for showing Filipowski's face after the cut in the first half? It gotta be higher than his uniform number, 30.

Having said that, great defensive effort, off to MSG and the Sweet 16.

 

[CAVPUT]

just got home- where can i watch replay

Wheels on Youtube or Freak will post the complete game maybe?

 

[sportsnut624]

I will never ever say a bad word about orn again. That was a legendary performance

 

[robcovol]

I don’t know any other way to state it. I’m so happy I could burst.

 

[TennVols12]

Where are the Nega-Barnes? What a masterful coaching job!

Dude, it makes me SO happy to see Barnes’ smile after that game!

 

[CAVPUT]

Thanks for the bulletin board material Jay Bilas

What did he say? I missed his comments.

 

[I4Vols]

Enjoying this one a lot

 

[lukeneyland]

This proves the worthlessness of the SEC tournament

Regardless of what happens in the Sweet 16, beating Duke to get there salvaged the season for me.

With Purdue out, we have to roll!

 

[SteensVol]

Damn!!! All I can say, Damn!!!

I believe 3 things needs to happen this half to win this game!
1. Keep taking care of the ball. Another half with under 7 turnovers would be fantastic.
2. Can’t let the refs keep Duke in the game. They are gonna try to get into the bonus in the first 6 minutes. We can’t let it turn into a barrage of Fts.
3. If our two 5️‘s can combine for 15pts this half. Just 15! Please guys wake up!

1. Only 4 second half turnovers
2. Refs were pretty fair
3. JJJ and Phillips had 8pts but ON more than picked up the slack!
Thank you Vols! GBO!!!

as much of a cliche as it is, that was grown-ass men playing against boys out there. Duke is loaded with talent and they might win it all next year. But they weren't good enough today.

 

[firestorm]

I honestly don’t really know what to do right now. Im stunned by that performance

Relax at Hooters or Twin Peaks , and watch the remaining MM 2nd Round games, and NHL games.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

I am seriously confused about Duke's substitution pattern or better-said lack thereof. I get they wanted to play their 2 7 footers but wow.. they started 4 freshmen and a junior and played them pretty much the whole game then they played one senior as their only SUB the whole game till roach fouled out? I guess if these guys are not all one-and done this will be a scary team next year. I just dont see the logic in them not playing more players is their talent pool that bad? Not complaining just wondering. From their season stats, they played an 8-9 man rotation most of the season.

Duke never goes with a deep rotation.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I May just watch that again.

 

[Vols till I fall]

A lot of people owe Barnes an apology

Nkahmoua and Vescovi played their hearts out today

 

[mr.checkerboards]

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Nkamhoua was amazing.

 

[Putbacks]

Tennessee advances ONward!

 

[ttocswob]

Held them to 52, their lowest point total this year

21 was also their lowest halftime score all season, and Dook’s lowest half score in the tournament, all time.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

That was for all the Barnes haters

 

[I4Vols]

Really proud of this team playing like this and the coaches getting them prepared and psyched up to play.

I'm sure ZZ is lovin' it
