UT might be the SEC’s hottest basketball team, but the Vols are still anything but the SEC’s happiest team. They're not getting too excited about simply doing their jobs.

Wes
I know that Trae G had the problem with his hammy but prior to that I don't understand what his struggles were all about. I know he was probably putting extra pressure on himself and he's playing slightly out of position at the 1. Just wondering about what happened to him in the middle of the season prior to the injury. Also, what do you think about A&M? We need that one. They're top 75 RPI and we need that road win.

Thanks for a good article Wes. What a testament to ccm and the young men representing the university of Tennessee. They easily could've hung it up a couple of weeks ago but patience and perseverance have paid off. That's a lesson that will pay dividends both on and off the court. I really hope we continue to finish strong. GBO

Would love to see the guys keep the momentum going with a win at A&M...especially with Florida coming to Knoxville on Tuesday.

This game will definitely test our focus and whether or not we're looking ahead to the FL game. A&M has been hot recently, especially at home; the key is Turner. If he goes off for 40 like he did at Rupp, we're in real trouble. If we can slow him down, or force him to have a bad shooting game, then our chances get better.

Yeah, i dont care how we do it, and i dont care how pretty it is, just get a win here.. Would bring a whole lot of buzz and energy to that game on Tuesday night, which might just be the biggest game of the season.. But we need to beat A&M first..
