The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. #18 [3] Kentucky Game Thread, 7:39 PM ET, TBS/truTV

[Volinlife]

I liked those play by play guys, never heard those dudes before. They knew basketball and kept it pretty real and raw

 

[omghulkhands]

Justin Gainey deserves a raise.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

I feel like we’ve been shorted our supply of “Sad Kentucky Fan” shots from the stadium.

I guess I’ll have to go to Rafters for my fix.

 

[Caz]

30 wins and another trip to the Elite 8 is not too shabby. Awesome 40-minute performance

 

[brockytop]

Amazing getting to two Elite Eights back to back regardless what happens Sunday.

Man, if I’d bet this game I’d lost my shirt.

 

[Voltopia]

Big shout out the Field of 68 whose expert basketball panelists, all eight of them, picked Kentucky to beat Tennessee and move on to the Elite Eight. They were pretty convinced UT had no chance against the Wildcats. Womp womp.

 

[Vols till I fall]

It's destiny at this point

Had to beat UCLA, a team Barnes almost left for

Had to avenge Kentucky bating us twice

And now, we must draw Purdue, for the years of devastation

Candace is such a good representative of the U of T.

Indeed. Reps the university and herself very well.

 

[Godfatha]

Everyone wants to talk about Z, Lanier, and Gainey and they should. But Okpara with 8 points and 11 rebounds.

Okpara had a quiet, monster game

 

[hound dog hillbil]

Gainy stepped up big

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Dubar was HUGE!

 

[vol94]

Great game plan by Barnes. Took KY out of their comfort zone while TN attacked the rim. Three scorers in double digits. And iirc, NO scoring droughts.

Go Vols! Proud of you guys!

Dub vs Houston or Purdue = final four!

Go Vols!

From the opening tip, the UK players body language seemed off. Maybe they knew what was coming

“Every body has a game plan until you get punched in the mouth.” Mike Tyson
That’s the reason they seemed off.

I’m still pissed at Fulmer for almost letting him walk.

I listened to those jokers on a whim. It was laughable. But nothing less to be expected from guys that think Matt Jones is some kind of savant worthy of a statue in Lexington.

 

[Vol737]

Where are the regular season Rick regulars?

Fahr Barnes!

 

[TheBigOne10]

If you want to talk about Pearl then GTFO. Barnes is the greatest to ever do it here!!

 

[Caz]

Gainy stepped up big

Gainey is all world where I'm concerned. Tough as nails!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

No one deserves a Final Four more than Rick Barnes. I am begging the basketball gods to give it to him.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

I thought I would mention that's the most dominant win so far in the Sweet 16

 

[Delmar]

That was a defensive master class tonight.

An absolute master class on 3 pt defense from Professor Barnes. Contributions from all 8 that played. Looking forward to Sunday!

And I think Lamont may have poked a bear that he shouldn’t have.

 

[BallsVolls1]

Amazing game! Straight DOMINATION!

Great play from Gainey, ZZ and Felix… loved Dubar defense tonight as well….

 

[hound dog hillbil]

That pic of ziggy needs on a shirt,and the rock

 

[Chattahooligan]

Classless

What gets me is, I know it’s your rival and you just got your ass kicked, but Rick Barnes is one of the most respectable coaches in the whole sport, shake that man’s hand
