GBO!!!!! :salute:

 

[SJAVol32]

Hey official game thread! Let's go Vols

 

[BraveVol13]

Is the Super Tuesday a double header or have they just moved the game up to 7 as opposed to 9?

 

[Volinmem]

Go Vols!!

 

[Cartervol]

Need to get the SEC season started off right..

Alabama and Vandy is the second game.

 

[johnnybravo]

Winning the SEC starts tonight!!!!

 

[Lefteye]

Heres hoping Barton and Thompson can handle the pressure of their guards, we continue to shoot well, and play the same pressure defense we have played the last 3 ball games.

GBO

 

[UT_King]

ESPN primetime, need to show out.

 

[golfballs]

Go Vols!

I'm going to abstain from picking a score for this game :crossfingers:

 

[BruinVol]

Wow alot of respect for the vols coming from vegas only being a 2pt dog.

That clearly means they think we are the better team which we are IMO

 

[PEPPERJAX]

McRae has a big game. Calling it duders.

 

[golfballs]

I'm looking for Richardson to have a big game tonight.

 

[Lefteye]

Would also LOVE to see Hubbs start showing signs of the 5* status he had coming out of high school. I am not calling the kid a bust, and am aware he has had a shoulder trouble. But other than last game he has been in the lineup so he is able to play. Show us something RH3!

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Huge game, monster opportunity for the Vols. I just wanna see us play with the same am effort and style we did the last 3 games, do that and I like our chances.

 

[Stoked]

Stokes has to guard O'Bryant and not let him go off tonight.

 

[MphsBlues]

Can't wait for the start of SEC play. If you guys saw the game notes, you know this is the first time the teams have ever met to begin conference play.

Happy BDay Mr. Stokes. Celebrate with a win in Baton Rouge.

 

[GBO97]

Ugh... I never have a good feeling about road games anymore. But it's a very winnable game, and would be huge if we could pull it off.

 

[MphsBlues]

Happy BDay Mr. Stokes. Celebrate with a win in Baton Rouge.

I was just thinking 'Stokes wants a double-double for his birthday.' Hope he gets it

upsized with cheese.

I'm not worried about Stokes defensively. Biggest thing he needs to do tonight is go hard to the rim on offense. LSU is pretty effective at blocking shots

 

[sport3500]

This game will be a slugfest inside and UT needs to keep Bryant under wraps in order to get a win at the PMAC.

This. They got some shot swatters, they're not that tall, but long arms and good instincts.
