Huge win for Bama's psyche - they CAN win a thug ball game.

I loved that guy saying Philon got fouled the last five (?) times he shot the ball but played through contact and didn't complain...

 

[Bazza]

Congrats guys......NICE SEC road win!

That maybe one of the most impressive road wins under Oates. These are the toe of guys we have got physically beat and let it get away from us the last few years. Florida last year few times, Arizona earlier this year, Duke last year in tourney, Tennessee last few games vs them. It helps Tennessee is not really good offensively, so that makes it easier to stay close.

 

[Bpilktree]

Out rebounded 47-30. 25 offensive rebounds for them to our 9. And we still win, on the road.

Huge, huge win. Clinches a double bye in the SECT as well.

I think they had 17 at half so we cut that in half the 2nd half and 3 of those were just 1 possession.

 

[Cruiser]

Wrightsell kept us in the game till it was Philon Time!

 

[Bpilktree]

Tale of 2 halves; I guess the refs changed. OR; we played better?
Big win; either way.
RTR!

Cleaned up the glass. They had 17 offensive rebounds first half but just 8 second half. If your taking the ball out of basket every time the other team can’t set up defense.

How many did Holloway finally get? He seemed quiet tonight to me. Seemed like Wrightsell sort of took over his role at the end. Oh, I did add one more Bama garment at the half...

Any win in Knoxville in any sport is awesome! Hillbillies beat on Hillbilly hill!

RTR!!!

 

[ga tide man #9]

Great win!!! Survived the mug fest

 

[LA BamaCarl]

I love the grit and determination
Philon, Wrightsell, and Holloway had. They would not accept defeat! I would not have believed we would come back and win after things looked so doubtful in the first half.

 

[ga tide man #9]

Mallett played a great game tonight. His defense and rebounding really helped.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

I almost turned this game off. Glad I stuck with it.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Now I'm going to have to wear this Bama Tee with Bama vest the rest of the season. (I added the vest at the half.)

 

[countrytider]

That was a HUGE win! Glad to get the win against Barnes and UcheaT in Knoxville!!

Roll Tide!

Well, if it brings good luck do it

Rugby players don’t have the same stamina as basketball players. Refs def didn’t change how they called it. UT was gassed.

 

[BamaInCummingGA]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: (no blue font needed) We need about three ringers on our team sitting at the end of the bench and Coach Oats needs to have a little chat with the refs to just kindly advise if they aren't gonna call the game right and call it fair and cut out the thuggery then we will be left with no choice but to solve the problem ourselves.

 

[bamadwain]

Big win! Didn't get to watch, but with Oats being 0-5 previously against Barnes this is one monkey off his back ,unless the hogs beat the gators tonight, we win one of last two we are the 2 seed
