Vols v Shockers Official Game Thread

[1979Shocker]

Well, point-wise, without Baker, we still win by one. Of course, that doesn't take into account the other things Baker does.

I haven't looked at the stats, but I think Darius was pretty good at the line, too.

Ya'll want a football team at 21st and Hillside. Who should be our 1st recruit? Tekele Cotton!!! Nuff said!!!

"Counzo's offense makes the 2-3 Zone look like the Berlin Wall."




Lmao. I can relate because the Shockers looked like that a couple of times last season.

We were the better more physical team today.

This game answered a lot of questions I had about this team.

Darius MF Carter. and Tekele MF Cotton.

The Vols will win their fair share of games and help our bottom line. We did outrebound a very good rebounding team--36-31.

...but it wasn't too great either. They're going to need to pull together 40 minutes of basketball...but hey, it's all about peaking at the right time...say, late March/early April?

This was a GRINDER game, Exactly the kind of game that wins championships. To say anything different is not giving credit where credit is due. Some individual players (CLE and Fred) did not have good games, but winning teams find ways to win, and win we did.

GREAT GAME!!!!!

Carl Hall numbers. Breakthrough performance.

And more impressive than his 14 rebounds was his defense. Smart, used his length, stood his ground!

[60Shock]

Tekele was a giant today on both offense and defense.

Amen!!!

Berlin Wall is chicken **** compared to Cotton's D.

@SportsCenter: The Final Four was no fluke. Wichita State beats Tennessee 70-61. Highest-ranked team in Kansas starts 10-0 for 1st time in school history.

GREAT GAME!!!!!

You took my quote out of context. The OP said our first half wasn't too bad. I merely said it wasn't too great either. This was a great FINISH to a game that didn't start too great. We can agree on that.
