Pope working miracles

[JimBR]

Tonight was great. I think highly of Barnes but I don't know where his his was tonight.

Tennessee has to know they have 1 great shooter, yet they jack up 45 threes against an undermanned UK team. No doubt they were emotionally a bit flat after the Auburn loss, but all the more reason to pound the ball inside and make this a rock fight. They start 3 guys over 6'11"!!!!

Barnes has to own this one for the Vols. Cats did what they had to do, but the Vols didn't use any of their advantages at all. And honestly I am shocked.

Agree. I thought they might press full court with Butler out at least part of the game.

Some of his adjustments are amazing. I mean who in the entire country would think that A. Williams would be bringing up the ball since we were without our 2 point guards?

However, there is no way Pope is doing this all by his self. Shout out to all his assistants and staff.

It didn't hurt that UT couldn't throw the ball in the ocean. Just saw a graphic that 73% of UTs shots were uncontested.
I'm thrilled with another great win, and I do think that CMP is the one to lead this team, but hoping the other team misses their shots is not a recipe for March success.

I call bull crap on that stat.
