Clearly one of those character-building types of games...But still, they guys got lucky. Vandy should not have had a chance in the end and they did. Of course it's always good to get the W but I hope they can pull themselves together. I would really like to see this team learn how to FINISH a game. Tonight they did a great job of coming out hungry, then the wheels almost came off. They gray the hairs!
Vols!!

Exactly. Nobody's really jumping for joy over the close win after being so far ahead early and in control for most of the game. But if it had been a 1 point loss, the meltdown would have been epidemic. Take this win and move on. GO VOLS!

Actually, Brandon Lopez was. He was the only one, but he literally was jumping for joy.

So true. I commented on that in the game thread. He was definitely enthusiastic about the win. +1

i don't think i've ever seen a team that specializes in defense have a very good record when it couldn't make free throws. i have always thought good free throw shooting came from a commitment to make them and repetition. if a player can make 30 percent of his 3 point attempts, then he should be able to make 80 percent from the free throw line. does that sound reasonable to y'all?
