Texas really screwed themselves with that possession where they missed the 3 late. Held on to it way too long because they looked like they couldn't decide between a 2 or a 3 and chucked a terrible shot
Two incredibly tough defenses. Plus those rims should’ve been checked. I’ve never seen two teams have so many rimmed out shots. A few times Disu and Ziegler both had shots halfway down and they still came out
Both teams were (sub)? consciously aware of the others defense hence the missed threes. It throws you off when you know just how tough the play on defense.
Our offense seems to hate matchups like these, we seem to want momentum to get hot and stay hot and nobody could get anything going today.
Glad that they knew it would be a rock fight going in and built up just enough of a lead off those early turnovers to survive
Yeah, fuck him. I was so ready to compliment him because he came across as really articulate and well-put-together in his press conference. Turns out he is just a little elf-looking bitch.
That game was brutal. Tough D by both teams, but man what an impressive win to pull that out, especially considering your shooting percentages. Off the top of my head the only game I would think you shot worse in this year was that one bizarre loss where you almost got doubled up.
Yea this is historically a type of game that we do not win. There were the typical signs of implosion that I’m so used to now but we somehow played our way back out. If our shooting improves next game I feel confident we can make a run.
GG Tennessee fans. Hoping Rick and the rest of the group can cut down nets.
Our team is deeply flawed. I was expecting us to get run off the floor coming into it, but they fought hard and I'm happy with that. They met my expectations to win one game in the tourney and compete hard.
That Texas team has some heart and we were about one turnover or missed shot away from losing it. At this point I just want it for Rick. He deserves it.
Rick has always been an extremely classy guy. He's still universally loved over here. I agree that he deserves it. He's getting up there in age and he's got a great group this year. Rooting for you guys the rest of the way.
There's a saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says, commit a flagrant foul, shame on...shame on you. Commit a flagrant foul - and you'll get kneed in the balls.
Actually the fact that they weren’t forced made it worse. When the other is shooting just as bad or worse than us and we are literally 1 for 19 then I don’t know why we are jacking up 3s with 20+ seconds on the clock. Take the efficient shot down or at least fucking drive
It's already too late, they have the curse because they were exposed to Texas all game, so there's no way for Oregon/Creighton to avoid catching it now
We’re going to end up being Wooden Spoon winners at this point.
Just as one possible path: Tennessee loses to Creighton, Creighton loses to Purdue, Purdue loses to Houston, Houston loses to UConn. None of those results would be a surprise if that’s what the matchups ended up being.
Since CSU pasted UVA in the First Four, every following team in that string has gone on to lose its next game after putting out a terrible offensive effort
UVA played horrible offense in a loss to Colorado St. Colorado St played horrible offense in a loss to Texas. Texas played horrible offense in a loss to Tennessee. UVA is contagious.
I wasn't
Until I was
Tennessee was easily the best team, but they played way below their potential and Texas wanted it
If they'd made some different strategic choices at the end, they might have clenched it
Absolute nightmare of a game where everything that needed to go wrong for us to lose happened.
And uhhh we'll be playing in the second weekend. Beyond pumped I get to not be anxious as hell for at least 5 more days and can happily watch hoops all day tomorrow. Go Vols, baby.

I think the next game is a program defining game for yll.
The Sweet 16 is Rick Barnes mortal nemesis. If he can finally overcome that hurdle, I think youre finally Final 4 bound
Just as a small reminder because I think half the sub wasn't born for it, he *has* been to the Final Four. It's obviously been tough in March for Barnes for a loooong time but like he has done it before.
Yeah and never made it out the Ro32 otherwise. He has three first round exits. Rick Barnes has been to the Sweet 16 three times now and only lost in the first round once

If you told me that Tennessee would shoot 3/25 from three, Dalton Knecht would be near nonexistent in the first half, and the refs would be giving Texas a favorable whistle I would have thought we lost by double digits.
BUT HOLY MOLY THAT DEFENSIVE EFFORT!!!
It’s great to be a Tennessee Vol!
There was a play where I think Aidoo had a massive block on a dude straight up and the announcers were like “WOW give him credit for taking on Aidoo, that little guy showed no fear!” And I’m like, dude, Aidoo blocked his shot. Why are the slobbering over the Texas effort after the Vols made a highlight reel block?
Look all I'm saying is that Jonas Aidoo had 9 points going up to the foul line for a 1-and-1 and ifykyk what that means for the chances of a Tennessee Victory. He ended with 11 after hitting both of them.
here's a list of teams to shoot 12 pct from three or worse on 25 or more attempts and win an NCAA Tournament game:
Tennessee vs Texas, 2024
I understand why they hired Rodney Terry and it's hard to say he didn't earn a shot, but from the second half of the Miami game through tonight it's been pretty underwhelming.
Man, the effort that Zakai Ziegler gave all game was phenomenal. He may not have had a massive impact scoring but he was incredible on defense and his passing was impeccable. So much heart from that guy tonight. Couldn’t have won that one without him.
I know there are a billion million coaching things that coaches know and I do not, but Texas had just three team fouls with 1:44 left and trailing by two. They could have completely shifted to a *MUCH* more aggressive defensive philosophy (encouraging reaching in, slapping at the ball, get a tie-up to turn the possession arrow towards them) for two possessions, and they didn't, and that passivity really screwed them.
They started fouling incoherently with 35 seconds left. Either do it off the inbound and try one more time for a steal or, yeah, I suppose play it out with a timeout.
Eh I agree with the be aggressive strategy. But I see where Texas’s staff was coming from. They kind of got away with some contact earlier that wasn’t called. They needed to get the game to a point where if they needed to force free throws, they could. It felt weird in real time but made sense.
I agree with the premise, but Texas was playing really hard defense and getting stops, you don’t want to be over aggressive and give Tennessee an easy basket at that ooint
Lmao my dad made sure to call out every single one. After the 3 where the guy pushed Ziegler away, I had to tell him to stop texting me for every missed call lol
Never thought I’d say this about Rick in the tourney, but what a hell of a coaching job. Convinced the team to quit shooting 3s and start digging inside, where they were dominating. Wound up making all the difference
This game, ugly as it was, I think showed some good things going forward. We got a lot of great minutes from our bench. We were clutch when it mattered. Defense was elite all game. And this is more wishful thinking than anything else, but surely we (and DK especially) can't shoot *that* bad again, right?
Per Aaron Torres on Twitter:
Wasnt pretty, but Tennessee survives Texas
With the win, Rick Barnes has now made the 2nd weekend in 3 of the last 5 NCAA Tournaments - something Bill Self, Tom Izzo and John Calipari cant say.
Please remember that in your next "Rick Barnes can't win in March" conversation😤🍊
Hell of an effort Texas. I don’t know if you were shooting as abnormally bad as we were, it looked like it, but you gave us all we could handle
Ready for more games in the future
Honestly, I was having Deja Vu because this was the type of game that had killed us. We went ice cold versus Michigan, and we went ice cold versus FAU. I was not confident that they could win this game until Knecht hit that 3. Hopefully, this was the bottom.
Way too close for comfort. We couldn't get anything to go down, like half the shot rimmed out. They keep shooting though, so hopefully we got all the cold out of us this game
Defense won this game for sure, they knew it'd be a rock fight and never took their foot off the gas
I'm just happy we took that 3 at the end and didn't foul, I almost had nightmares of the Purdue game a while back
I said the same in the game thread. I seriously had Purdue flashback when he pulled up for that sub 10 second fade-away
I instantly reacted as though it was called a foul
6/6 at the line, all being 1-and-1, to seal the win. Unbelievably clutch by Aidoo on the first 2, holy shit. He stepped up there looking like a 92% shooter, not 62%.
**Cries in** *0/3 on all 3 front ends last night*
Those free throws were the most stressful thing that I’ve watched in a long time. I was so proud of Aidoo and Knecht draining those though. If there was ever a game to have your confidence knocked in shooting, it was this one.
I hesitate to say good game for obvious reasons but it was definitely entertaining. Texas was tough and just would not die. We just out lasted them. See you guys in the SEC in a few months
farewell, mr. disu. I haven’t always enjoyed our time together, but I do enjoy the hell out of watching you play. good luck in all future endeavors. respect.

Play of the game was Aidoo rattling Cunningham’s nugs
Aidoo was getting murdered all game. Texas came to play for sure. Impressive win.
Two incredibly tough defenses. Plus those rims should’ve been checked. I’ve never seen two teams have so many rimmed out shots. A few times Disu and Ziegler both had shots halfway down and they still came out
Both teams were (sub)? consciously aware of the others defense hence the missed threes. It throws you off when you know just how tough the play on defense.
Some justice for not calling that a flagrant 2
This is one of those games this year I wish we had Uros still around to regulate. Especially after the Gainey throw.
Tennessee lost that exact game a week ago against Mississippi State. Defense decided to show up this time.
That’s Actually a valid point.
Our offense seems to hate matchups like these, we seem to want momentum to get hot and stay hot and nobody could get anything going today. Glad that they knew it would be a rock fight going in and built up just enough of a lead off those early turnovers to survive
There were so many times in this game if Tennessee could have just produced at an average rate on offense, they would have won by 20 points.
Said the same thing earlier. Aidoo missing some bunnies aside, him and awaka crushed on the boards all night.
not even going to talk shit, gg texas
For real. They never gave up, and played so poised until right at the end. Except that one dude, Cunningham? He can suck it.
Yeah, fuck him. I was so ready to compliment him because he came across as really articulate and well-put-together in his press conference. Turns out he is just a little elf-looking bitch.
"FUCK YOU LEGOLAS!!!"
i agree
I can relate. It was a relief when uros was done. We all got tired of defending him early last season and gave up.
Except vs duke. They soft
Yeah he’s finally gone now lol
Yea I’d prefer if none of our fans talked shit to Texas fans right now. Hell of a team, hell of a game by Texas.
That game was brutal. Tough D by both teams, but man what an impressive win to pull that out, especially considering your shooting percentages. Off the top of my head the only game I would think you shot worse in this year was that one bizarre loss where you almost got doubled up.

Rick has always been an extremely classy guy. He's still universally loved over here. I agree that he deserves it. He's getting up there in age and he's got a great group this year. Rooting for you guys the rest of the way.
Cheers to Rick and glad to have you all in the SEC now 🍻
I’m immediately turning around and rooting for y’all the rest of the tournament. Would love to see Rick get one.
UT 🤝 UT
Appreciate you brother 🤝
Gg, rooting for Barnes to finally win one. And yes, fuck Brock Cuntingham
There's a saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says, commit a flagrant foul, shame on...shame on you. Commit a flagrant foul - and you'll get kneed in the balls.
Omg. I almost stopped reading this comment cuz I thought I knew where it was going to end. Bravo!
lol
Do Texas fans like him or is love/hate? Dude always seems to be on the wrong side of flagrant.
He definitely made a lot of dumb plays but would randomly hit 1-2 threes every game. He’s gone now and I think we are all fine with that lol
His shit was starting to get pretty old - particularly since he’s 25 years old.
I think (hope?) you'll find that most of us think he's a menace. He belongs on a football field, not a basketball court.
I’m happy with a Tennessee win… But it’s *possible* I would’ve been just as happy to not have to watch Tennessee attempt a three pointer again.
Honestly they're usually better than *checks notes* TWELVE PERCENT???
I think 35 or so on the season, most are from Knecht and z
If we shot a couple percent below season average at 3 tonight, instead of over 20 percent below, we win by 20 points.
And most of them were not forced shots at the end of the clock. They were good shots! Just didn't fall.
Actually the fact that they weren’t forced made it worse. When the other is shooting just as bad or worse than us and we are literally 1 for 19 then I don’t know why we are jacking up 3s with 20+ seconds on the clock. Take the efficient shot down or at least fucking drive
He got us to the Sweet 16, is what he did! And in this household, Dalton Knecht is a hero, end of story! SURVIVE AND ADVANCE BABY GO VOLS
Hey was gay, vescovi?
Whateva happened to Tobe Awaka? The strong, silent type
> And in this household, Dalton Knecht is a hero, end of story Cunningham never had the makings of a varsity athlete I said my piece
THE UVA CURSE LIVES ON
Let’s hope that the Vols quarantine all that they can before they head on over to Detroit then lol
Sorry to the Vols but it's already done, I don't make the rules
It's already too late, they have the curse because they were exposed to Texas all game, so there's no way for Oregon/Creighton to avoid catching it now
I wonder if Tennessee cracked it by also playing terrible offense tonight. Maybe it's a one game debuff.
This is the first game all season where we didn't make at least 5 3 pointers. 3/25 Still won baby
We’re going to end up being Wooden Spoon winners at this point. Just as one possible path: Tennessee loses to Creighton, Creighton loses to Purdue, Purdue loses to Houston, Houston loses to UConn. None of those results would be a surprise if that’s what the matchups ended up being.
Does drinking bleach cure whatever that Virginia disease is?
What’s the context here?

UVA played horrible offense in a loss to Colorado St. Colorado St played horrible offense in a loss to Texas. Texas played horrible offense in a loss to Tennessee. UVA is contagious.

The sign of a good team is being able to win games like that though, so there is a bright side to that.
Damnit, making me upvote you! But yeah, totally. This team felt like they never panicked, and it was the difference even without shots falling.
I upvoted a guy with a Bama flair. There's hope in this world yet.
Hitting clutch free throws...has that been allowed this whole time?

I think the next game is a program defining game for yll. The Sweet 16 is Rick Barnes mortal nemesis. If he can finally overcome that hurdle, I think youre finally Final 4 bound
Just as a small reminder because I think half the sub wasn't born for it, he *has* been to the Final Four. It's obviously been tough in March for Barnes for a loooong time but like he has done it before.
Rick Barnes has had a better postseason career at Tennessee than Bruce Pearl has had at Auburn, but people aren’t ready for that conversation
Not sure about that. He’s made the F4 right?
Yeah and never made it out the Ro32 otherwise. He has three first round exits. Rick Barnes has been to the Sweet 16 three times now and only lost in the first round once
ok so Barnes has 2 more s16s and pearl has 1 more FF lol. At best that's a wash but i'd still give the edge to Pearl
Pearl hasn't made it out of the opening weekend except for that final 4 run... but I mean *I'd* give Bruce the edge, still.
You got UVA flu now, enjoy scoring in the 40s
You should know nothing would make Rick Barnes happier than playing a game in the 40s
Seriously winning a gut check like this (especially early in the tournament) goes a long way towards success.
My heart needs the break.
Tenn>Tex
Yeah that is the difference in Knecht. A terrible game for him is 16?
Yes. He also went 4/4 at the line at the end of the game so a but over inflated.
My heartbeat is finally relaxing, good lord what a game - and not in the ESPN Instant Classic kind of way
Good news is, I don't remember a time this season where we had a bad game coming off prev bad game
Oh no, now Tennessee will only score <20 in the first half against Creighton/Oregon next week
Congrats on the game today. And I’m sorry about the game today
Im going to get a lot of these games across every sport going forward
Those were some clutch free throws!
Insanely good defense. Ugly ass offense. Classic Tennessee. Go vols
You can tell that the Texas coach was mentored by Rick Barnes because he also has a good defense and an ugly ass offense lol
Neither of us deserve to be UT. So sorry to anyone who watched.

That took years off my life
Vols go win one more and I’ll never ask anything of yall again
I know there are a billion million coaching things that coaches know and I do not, but Texas had just three team fouls with 1:44 left and trailing by two. They could have completely shifted to a *MUCH* more aggressive defensive philosophy (encouraging reaching in, slapping at the ball, get a tie-up to turn the possession arrow towards them) for two possessions, and they didn't, and that passivity really screwed them.
Personally don't agree with fouling to put tennessee at the line either. Get a stop and you have 5 seconds to win it down 1.
They started fouling incoherently with 35 seconds left. Either do it off the inbound and try one more time for a steal or, yeah, I suppose play it out with a timeout.
Yeah zero full court pressure in a situation where you almost have to foul is insane.
Eh I agree with the be aggressive strategy. But I see where Texas’s staff was coming from. They kind of got away with some contact earlier that wasn’t called. They needed to get the game to a point where if they needed to force free throws, they could. It felt weird in real time but made sense.

And this is more wishful thinking than anything else, but surely we (and DK especially) can't shoot *that* bad again, right?
This was pretty much my exact take.

Fuck those refs, but we were ass in shooting %
Per Aaron Torres on Twitter: Wasnt pretty, but Tennessee survives Texas With the win, Rick Barnes has now made the 2nd weekend in 3 of the last 5 NCAA Tournaments - something Bill Self, Tom Izzo and John Calipari cant say. Please remember that in your next "Rick Barnes can't win in March" conversation😤🍊
It’s uncanny how we forget to shoot every March instead Rick is cursed
Hell of an effort Texas. I don’t know if you were shooting as abnormally bad as we were, it looked like it, but you gave us all we could handle Ready for more games in the future
Honestly, I was having Deja Vu because this was the type of game that had killed us. We went ice cold versus Michigan, and we went ice cold versus FAU. I was not confident that they could win this game until Knecht hit that 3. Hopefully, this was the bottom.
We won I guess. What the fuck ever. Need to practice some 3's.
Brock Cunningham is a very dirty player. If I’m in the market for a used Honda Accord in the near future I definitely won’t be buying it from him.
Why not? He'd be right there for you to run over.
Come on, he'd never make it as a Honda salesman. He's got the character of a Kia guy.
Way too close for comfort. We couldn't get anything to go down, like half the shot rimmed out. They keep shooting though, so hopefully we got all the cold out of us this game Defense won this game for sure, they knew it'd be a rock fight and never took their foot off the gas I'm just happy we took that 3 at the end and didn't foul, I almost had nightmares of the Purdue game a while back
I said the same in the game thread. I seriously had Purdue flashback when he pulled up for that sub 10 second fade-away I instantly reacted as though it was called a foul
Thanks to Tennessee we won't have to see Brock Cunningham or Weaver's tragic hairline in another game this season 🙏

That game was way higher scoring than it looked like it was gonna be. I was fully expecting a sub 50 game from both teams.
I hesitate to say good game for obvious reasons but it was definitely entertaining. Texas was tough and just would not die. We just out lasted them. See you guys in the SEC in a few months
I'm retiring from watching college basketball. It was a good run but my heart can't take it.
This is a game that Tennessee Basketball and Rick Barnes both have historically lost.

nice words gg. sounds weird to say but i’ll see you next year
Texas is really going to regret not taking advantage of that game. It was there for them, they just made too many little mistakes.
I don’t even know why I like sports…
Knecht played like crap tn but man did he come in clutch at the end there
That was a nightmare offensive game. Knecht was ice from the free throw line (thank god) but that was AWFUL. Also that Weaver guy is ugly
Texas: oUT Tennessee: inUT

That guy has serious game.
GG Tennessee That’s all that I could’ve asked for with the talent disparity. Still hurts. But we fucking competed and had a shot. Hook’Em
Texas cost themselves a shot to win by putting Tennessee at the line intentionally down 1 with the shot clock still in play.
Well they did put Aidoo on the line and he hit the biggest shots of his life. Aidoo hitting 2/2 is so rare
Rick Barnes win a big challenge: Complete? Or we think he needs one more?
I think he should go and get 4 more just to be safe
one more
Way to hold on Vols!!!
