Tennessee's players don't know much about SEC-newcomer Texas A&M, but the Vols know this: Aggies' star Elston Turner has been tough for any defense to handle this season.

Tennessee has been playing great the last several games. Hopefully we can contain Turner and keep him to his average or below, not let him get hot and go off for 30 or something like that.
I'm unfamiliar with there big men, could stokes have his way down low??

I'm really nervous about this game. I was a little nervous about the LSU one, but this one is on the road in unfamiliar territory.

I expect a solid effort regardless if they win or lose, but I have to say I personally believe they can win out..No matter how unrealistic that probably is..

We're gonna put McBee on Turner at times?
Those will be automatic points.

I'll have to disagree, if McBee can stay fresh he can do the job he is relentless and will force some tough shots if they fall so be it but he will be in his face on 3's. The only problem McBee has is defending the dribble against quick gaurds but other than that he's pretty solid on D.

Is Turner cross-eyed? How does he shoot like that?

Wes
How is TX A&M suited on the inside? Stokes needs to control boards.

Golden, Stokes, and McRae have to be on their games. If we can hold Turner under 15, we should win. Lot of pieces have to come together as they have the last four games. Great stuff to watch!
Really I am just thankful the Vols have made it interesting down the stretch. I had almost lost interest three weeks ago.
Vols!!

I think Josh can do the job but he needs to be smart and not let turner get him in foul trouble.
I.'m like some of you,I wish I knew a little about A&M's inside game.

Big test for the Vols today. Let's all hope that Elston Turner Sr. didn't pass on his ability to scorch the Vols to his son. Still can't believe that UT let him get away.

I hope Josh can slow him down. He is probably stronger than Richardson outweighing him by 35 lbs. That might be a problem if he scores much off the dribble.
