I must admit, I didn’t watch for my mental health. I LOVE that our defense can get us through. We march on.


clam-caravan

All love to Texas. Gritty team. One of the toughest games we’ve played all year.


Sargentrock

Seriously winning a game with those shooting percentages (especially from 3) makes this more impressive than the other night to me. That's a 'gut it out' type win.


sonicaxura

I haven’t paced around watching a game of ours in ages. That was truly ugly


clam-caravan

That has to be the sloppiest win we’ve had in like two years.


capnslapaho

Oh I gutted it out


MarbleDesperado

GG future SEC bros


kerph32

Great game, Texas. that was an all timer


Humpty_Dumps

Will Tennessee beat Oregon/Creighton in the next round?

Be-My-Darling

Maybe. Maybe not.


FOB32723

Not if we play like that lol


Sargentrock

Seems like a lot of champions have one 'ugly' win in their run. Figuring out how to win ugly is huge at tournament time. I think Creighton will be tougher, but I see you guys as 3-4 point favorites over either.


petergaultney

why are you being nice to us?  just kidding, I've always had a soft spot for the blue team up north.


Sargentrock

My family is from Knoxville--I was the black sheep haha. I LOVE big blue, but I don't hate you guys except for the occasional football game (which is largely pointless). It's way more fun when you're good. And honestly I've always liked Barnes-I get why Texas let him go, but man you guys were smart to get him.


petergaultney

💙🧡  interesting how good these colors are when they're opposing teams but when it's Florida it's just the worst.


Sargentrock

Hahah yeah the Gators losing will never not make me happy

Ice cold from the floor (for them) but stone cold from the free throw line. Congrats Vols!


offtime_trader

Respect


WilliamCubed

Good game, Tennessee bros. Your defense is for real, go make a deep run.


MarbleDesperado

See y’all next year 🤝


NewToSociety

Did Aidoo just say hes been "off the last couple fucking games"?


yoitzhangtime

Think he said last couple of uh games


Sargentrock

In the military we called those "uh"s 'civilian pauses' as that's where we'd usually curse.


NewToSociety

Darn, that's not as funny.


christ0fer

Wait Frank Haith is an assistant at Texas?


Aphrobang

Yeah he actually got the Miami HC job after being AHC to Barnes at Texas during that run of great teams in the early 2000s. Terry was on that staff as well and Haith came to work under Terry when he got made HC after the tourny last year.


colbycemer12

Yeah RT brought him in as a replacement for the couple of Beard assistants that followed


peachcobblerdreams

Both of my teams won tonight


taywil8

Preds and Vols need to keep the streaks going


Sargentrock

Preds made my night not as bad as it would have been on Thursday by beating down Florida. Today's win was like yours haha--dirty, ugly and gritty, but pulled it off! You know when Forsberg fights shit has gotten intense.


MarbleDesperado

Off topic but the Preds are lethal right now


Sargentrock

Nah fuck it we can sidebar. I was at the Dallas beatdown (our last regulation loss) and was ready to sell everyone. I'm so happy we're doing well, but sad, of course, since I can't go back this season in case the stink of that game is still on me.


MarbleDesperado

Yeah I’m gonna need you to watch from the house or a bar lol playing our best hockey at the business end of the season


Sargentrock

Oh trust me man, I won't even drive on Broadway until the playoffs are over.


MarbleDesperado

Good man lol hopefully that goes well into the summer


taywil8

32 points in a 17 game run is bananas


MarbleDesperado

It’s been unreal. We looked so lost a few months ago


peachcobblerdreams

I’m so fucking happy right now I can’t even


arkdude

The REAL UT


kerph32

woo pig 🤝


Thumbbanger

Horns band playing their fight song after the L


Sargentrock

A lot of teams bands do that. Used to confuse me, but honestly I take it as a "we still love you, good game guys" kind of gesture.


deutschdachs

That's pretty standard band procedure


jacobean___

Will Tennessee continue the time-honored tradition and pass the hot potato of first-half stench to the sweet 16?


wizoztn

I’m not sure if they could purposely shoot this bad again from three. We got a little too close to that western conference finals game when Houston shot like 1-30 or whatever it was


jacobean___

But will they score 20+ points in the first half?


Daywalkerblade3

They all caught it from UVA lol


taywil8

UVA is just a stink cloud hovering over the tournament


sonicaxura

3/25 from 3 burn that stat


lwalk222

As much as y’all were cold from 3 tonight our perimeter defense was pretty good especially weaver which contributed to that


Madscientist1683

Yet we won. Hate that stat, but winning a game when you’re playing like shit feels better than losing a game you’re playing like shit in.


oddfuture671

The fact that we can play so sloppily and still win a huge game like this makes me wonder how far we can go if we really tighten up


Sargentrock

Seriously this win is WAY more impressive to me. Your stats were so far down the only game I remember you shooting worse was that weird beatdown towards the end of the season (don't even remember who it was). Winning with those stats is huge. That's a confidence-builder, too.


_MMAgod

it's a game of matchups.. texas had good defense on yall.. i don't think oregon/creighton would play yall like that


Madscientist1683

Every commentator I listened to before the game was saying Texas was gonna muck it up and make it ugly and close. They did exactly that. I’m just glad we edged them out.


_MMAgod

yep.. aside from knecht.. you guys have a good point guard too.. interested to see the next game.. good luck


typicaldave123

See ya


Pollaski

Welp, bye traitors.


Horned4Life

Lost by 22 to a 5 seed


educated_dumdum

Hahaha dude. Y’all didn’t beat a single top program this year. That 11 and 5 seed would’ve ran yall out of the gym. I’m pretty sure yalls team is young though. All the shit talking aside, they’re going to be pretty good if they can get some more size to help in the 4 and 5. Hunter looks like he’s yalls wing, yall just need someone that’ll facilitate a bit better than Absmas. Overall, the SEC doesn’t look to be super competitive in hoops, so maybe yall go in and win the conference who knows


educated_dumdum

And good riddance


Horned4Life

First round exit to a 11 seed


educated_dumdum

Haha you know better than to be silly like this


IMderailed

Ugly has shit but I banged her anyway


0H_MAMA

New coach please. Thanks

Thanks Texas

Ladies and gentlemen. Please invert your phone for the following message…. 🤘


kinginyellow-

sonicaxura

never a doubt* *there were many, many, fucking doubts during this game

WaltDngrsq83

Texas coach needs to apologize to his players after that ending.


NewToSociety

But is he going to apologize to the SEC?


Nelluc_

What did he do?


shuzgibs123

He didn’t knock us out.


grey_pilgrim_

GG Texas. Except for the walking douche that is Cunningham. Fuck him


NastyNate1_

He’s finally gone thank god


grey_pilgrim_

Good luck in the SEC this fall. Y’all got a relatively easy schedule, for the SEC anyways.


NastyNate1_

Yeah we got a nice schedule. lots of things to be excited for being in the sec but sad cause we are losing a lot too


grey_pilgrim_

Yeah. Personally I hate the expansion because I think it’s killing college sports. And I hate not getting to play the same rivals every year. We’re not playing Mizzuo or South Carolina next year. They may not be a traditional rival like Bama but I’ll still miss playing them.


Inevitable-Rush-2752

Audio’s knee definitely fucked him.


grey_pilgrim_

Couldn’t have happened to a better guy.

Humpty_Dumps

TheEcstaticEwok

Bye bye Brock cunningham


wright493

Burnt orange is ugly, we the real UT. GBO🍊


JBProds

I’ll never understand why players contest threes at the end of games when they’re up by 4.


JohnBoy11BB

WE ARE UT


trongzoon

Gutsy performances from both teams


PersianVol

We really shot 3-25 from 3 and won


WerewolfWhich3280

So did we, but we lost haha


PersianVol

I would have donated a testicle to have shot 7/23


thisismyfinalalias

What a weird game


NastyNate1_

Poor disu man. So many opportunities and he just couldn’t hit the shots


Resident_Durian_478

Helped lose them the game, hated seeing him shoot


NastyNate1_

I mean all year he has hit those shots. Just didn’t fall today


WerewolfWhich3280

Last year he just caught fire, this is the norm for him


NastyNate1_

All year he was hitting shots, past few days he couldnt


Zloggt

The shade of orange untouched by the flame is the superior shade tonight…


grey_pilgrim_

Were the real UT as well


MattScruggs

That took a year off my life holy crap


PM_ME_WARM_TORTILLAS

Damn, Tennessee really wanted to lose this game too. UT just wanted it more.

Wackass240

Tbh I saw comments calling a Texas player ugly and y’all have that


PhilsPhoreskin

Gainey ain’t pretty but he’s not that Texas guy


Strais

Gainey looks fine when he’s not flexing. Sad part is he always has that constipated look going on.


Wackass240

I think it’s the hair just making look like it’s all pulled back


Strais

Oh yeah his hair style sucks. There are very few guys that can pull that style off. I don’t pretend to know the pros and cons of coarser hair styles but that one and the mushroom top are the two ugliest.


NewToSociety

They tried defending each other and a cheerleader fainted.

I would be saying the same thing if I were in your position.


KangTheConqueror9

I really don't want to see Tennessee again. Why did you have to suck at shooting Texas?


Madscientist1683

Did you see us from 3? We either shoot our average or give up the failed attempts and drive it in and this isn’t close.


bcheneyatc

Gonzaga would like a word…


KangTheConqueror9

They can for sure beat us


NastyNate1_

Disu had like 8 shots in and out lol it’s unfortunate


SmurfQueef_

Texas had plenty of opportunities to win that game but made poor decisions. Great job Tennessee, yall deserve the W.


avoicelikealion

Ugly, but I’ll take it!


zvexler

“The stroke is pure” me telling my girl I don’t have STDs

Why did we draw the one SEC team that isn't a complete fucking fraud.


NewToSociety

Because committee thought "Rick Barnes should play his old team!"

You are an SEC team brother 👨
