I can't figure out why this team isn't in the top 25.

Great write-up Wes. Love how it was a complete team effort tonight. That defense was something special tonight and Golden put on an absolute clinic!
One thing was missing from your well written article though: What do the Basketball Vols think about Gruden coming to Rocky Top?
"Old School"! A strong defense wins championships!

Oakland coach Greg Kampe’s thoughts on the Vols: “I'm not going to make excuses. They beat the hell out of us.”
God this makes me smile, great job for our Vols tonight, hope we can continue it on into friday and play a good hard game against G-town.

I only caught part of the game last night, but I am really impressed with how strong Stokes is on the block. Kind of makes you go "whoa" when you see him.

I see a close game but think Georgetown will be tough to beat up there without Maymon.

Wes I haven't heard much about Mayman recently. Is he still on track with a December return and is there a possibility that he may not be back until next year? We should be a very powerful team if he makes it on the floor this year and is able to return to form coming off double knee surgery. Any info would be appreciated as I've been transplanted in South Alabama. Not much basketball coverage down here covering the good guys.
