Vols v Shockers Official Game Thread

[Ricardo del Rio]

I thought that the Vols overall lack of quickness, excuding #52, hurt them quite a bit.

@jeffborzello: If Wichita State only loses a couple games, they'll probably be in or around the top 10 all year. If that's the case, I would think a 3-seed

To all those season ticket holders who will never go to IBA...THANK YOU. What a great atmosphere. Big time college basketball!

I'm liking Darius Carter. Stokes + Maymon=13 boards. Carter=14 boards.

Last Season I was crying the blues and thought the refs were awful verus the Vols. Today, give the refs credit for calling a solid game, especially the T. for taunting us after the impressive dunk. This is Not Springfield so this is not tolerated in the land of tall Cotton. Didn't the Bears end up in the NIT thet Season they were doing in throat slashing and taunting constantly and getting away with it and not being corrected? Dunno, if so, we were so busy playing and winning at the Garden, I did not notice the Cubs.

I still have issues with all the bruises FVV will have that didn't get called. Other than that, one ref favored TN (older guy with dark dyed hair), one favored WSU (younger bald guy), and one favored basketball.

Bodies on the floor at both ends, almost every possession.

I had been told preseason that DC would be Valley Newcomer of the Year. Until today I thought that was impossible.
Welcome to big-time NCAA basketball Mr. Carter.

Someone explain to me why that Tennessee board is having a full-blown nervous breakdown. That team is likely to be pretty damn good. They lost to a top ten team on the road, and they act like they lost to UMKC.

I mean... To see Tekele take over the gMe the way he did soooooo freaking cooool

It's normal for them. Before the game, fans were saying win or lose, people are going to be calling for Bruce Pearl.
