Anybody who’s followed @Vol_Hoops for the past 50 years gets it, the scope of what Rick Barnes has done with a program that has produced great players and great moments, but never this kind of elite consistency. Yes, there’s still the white whale, the Final Four. But there was a time when the mere idea of three straight Elite 8’s on Rocky Top would have been like saying the university was going to order the band to never play the song again.
Somebody at the Doe!!!!! SOMEBODY AT THE DOE!!!!! Vol Nation, ain't nobody but US!!! Boom Boom Room was wide open....🤫🤫🤫 Don't say nothing, we getting a key made right now!!! #CauseThatsAllWeKnow#GoVols 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊
They just asked a fun question on SEC Network — name three best dunkers in SEC history.
Everyone knows Dominique is No. 1. I'm gonna spend so much time thinking about other two spots.
So many candidates: Shaq, Chuck, Chapman, Porter, Wallace, Swift, SkyWalker, Singleton, etc.
Jordan Gainey just did his best Tyus Edney impression. Tennessee is 10-0 for the first time since the late 1990s. The crazy thing about the Vols? Zakai Zeigler and Chaz Lanier are playing like All-Americans, but Jahmai Mashack is this team's Most Valuable Player.
Tennessee just went into the Yum! Center and basically led Louisville wire to wire in a 77-55 win.
It’s still gonna take some time for Pat Kelsey to change the culture and also get a new group to learn his style and also learn one another.
But the one aspect that stood out: The Cardinals played hard and didn’t throw in the towel, something void in the Kenny Payne Era.
If Kelsey leads this team to the NCAA tourney, it’s a successful season.
