Yep. Surprised we managed to make it back from the OT deficit let alone threaten with everyone on the bench.


That was very nearly the best last minute comeback I've seen in a long, long time. A great coaching job by Barnes and well executed by the Vols. Both teams should be ranked after the game though I fear the Vols will fall out of the top 25.

I doubt Tennessee falls out. They'll drop a few spots, though

I know they've played well but conference games are a different animal on the road.

Arkansas was better at home. Anywhere else and that's a double digit loss. Arkansas needs to shore up some stuff.



That was a win you can credit to a classic Razorback crowd. Very impressed by both teams, the Vols played much better at Bud Walton Arena then I thought they would and I thought they were a really good team going into the game.

"If the fans don't treat us well, we're not going to come. You can put that out there," Barnes said. "I'm serious. We've got enough money here, we can buy our way out of it. They'd better be good to us."

Barnes suggested on a Monday conference call that if his team gets the same rowdy treatment Arkansas received in tournaments past, he won't come back to play anytime soon.

I can see why Barnes doesn't like to play Arkansas

Gafford needs a year to work on nothing but 18' jump shots and free throws. He has the talent. Needs to develop.

Probably. The odd thing is that they're getting better despite any drop they may take from this loss. This team is growing up at a rapid pace. I like what I see from it a lot.

I don’t see anything better than last year. What we saw today was the same thing i saw in Maui last year and against UNC and Gonzaga last year. Total meltdown down the stretch to lose a close game.

I thought the iso the last couple of minutes cost Tenn. Iso dribbling and making a move with 10 seconds left on shot clock.

Reminds me of Arkansas/unc last year in March.

That’s the best performance I’ve seen by a visiting team in BWA in a long time. The Hogs played pretty well and were still lucky to get out with a win.

Vols have nothing to be ashamed of. Yall played your arse off and beat us in our gym for most of the game.

This was one of the best games I've watched in a long time and proves that the SEC is back in basketball.

Great game Tennessee.

Tennessee is a top 10 team in the first 30 minutes but horrendous down the stretch.

Should be unranked unless they can beat both A&M and Kentucky imo.

Same thing that happened against UNC both last year and this year and against Oregon last year in Maui.

They try to run out the clock despite having been better over the last 30-35 minutes.

Tennessee led by 8 with 3:30 left and took an awful awful 3. After that I knew we were in deep trouble.

I think this team is okay but there are too many flaws for this team to make any kind of real noise. Disappointing but this is about the ceiling with Barnes.

I’ve seen enough UTgames to know that Arkansas will tie it up atleast once. I just hope Tennessee can hold them off once that happens


Good call. Didn't work out how you wanted. Great game regardless.
