Gotta do better than that to beat Missouri, even at home. The big boys have to show up. Deep run in the SEC tournament would be good insurance. And while we're at it, a deep run in the dance to boot!
Vols!!

After what this team has overcome and how much they have improved i sure hope they don't have to watch the selection show and not see tennessee's name on the board. they could have throwed in the towel but instead they worked harder and never hung their heads.
GO BIG ORANGE!!!

Good win on the road. Those are never easy, no matter who the opponent is. Just ask Ole Miss, Fla or UK about that....got to bring it on Sat! GBO!

Wes or anyone else for that matter, your "objective" thoughts on the disparity of free throws. I only got to watch a few minutes so couldn't really tell anything. Auburn is a scrappy team so not too surprised.
How was the officiating? You'll probably have to designate which scale your using too, SEC scale or normal expectations for refs!

Stokes was thinking about his first few misses during his last few. A win is a win. Need this Mizzou game.

I love the mental fortitude these guys showed....but even more I love how humble they are no one was blaming anyone else or deflecting its great to see potential NBA players (stokes McCrae) owning up even though McCrae played well in my book! I like CCM's style of team first philosophy it really keeps these guys level headed.

Not so much here as elsewhere, but I love how the fans have put CCM on the bubble during this stretch, too:
-Start to season: CCM stinks; fire him.
-6 game winning streak: CCM is great!
-UGA loss in Athens: I knew CCM stunk all along!
-Auburn win: CCM will have us in the Sweet 16!
Well, I for one would like to put those type fans on the bubble.
Go Vols in the only game that matters right now, the one against Mizzou on Sat. in Ed Boling's Big Basketball Barn!

You gotta stay the course....we lost arguably our best pre-season player for the season which I think would affect any team not loaded with talent (not many of those these days). I am excited to see what this team can do with the remainder of this year and especially next year. CCM is doing a hell of a job, love the toughness in this team!

Anyone expecting works of art on the road in the SEC is fooling themselves. You get a win any way you can, and that's what we did last night. It all comes down to the Mizzou game now..

ODA751, might be asking the obvious, but you never know these days. Are/were you with 7th GRP?
