Higher 3-pt %;
More steals;
More fast-break points;
The largest lead at one point;
Less turnovers; and
More points off turnovers.
And, we had …

A few notes:
1. Jauan Jennings is carrying this team.
2. Don’t give up on Jeremy Pruitt. The roster flip is still very much in progress.
3. We improved from Week 1 to Week 2.
4. There’s a noticeable difference in guys recruited by Pruitt, and not.

Didn’t lose a single home game this season, received a 2-seed in the SEC Tournament, won the SEC Tournament Championship, and beat several top-seeded and top-ten teams along the way. All of which was done by a great group of young men we should be proud of. Thank you @Vol_Hoops.

I’ve been told that there is no greater delusional and arrogant fan base in the country than Texas and they keep confirming everything I’ve heard. There has never been “panic” about OU and Texas joining the SEC.
Watching the SEC schools panic at the idea of Texas and OU joining has been too fun to watch
Monday it becomes a reality, and July 1st 2024 will mark the day Texas Athletics began their domination of the SEC

Nico’s camp timed this to ensure he took all of the first team QB reps in spring practice and, should he transfer, leave Tennessee in a tough spot at the QB position. Sure, it’s leverage. But it also is selfish for a guy making over $2 million as he screws his school & teammates.

So here’s what needs to happen.
Remove Currie as AD.
Insert Phil Fulmer as AD.
Hire Tee Martin as HC.
Let Phil mentor Tee, who is a rising star in the coaching world—also one of his his former players.
Spend $$$ on coordinators.
But this would make too much sense.

We are a half-decent QB away from being 3-1 instead of 1-3. We have several young players who are bright spots on both sides of the ball. Patience. We’ve waited 10 years, I know. But, please, give this staff a fair shake and reasonable time. And you just might get what you want.

Also — the fans didn’t cheat, the fans haven’t transferred, the fans didn’t make stupid calls or plays, and the fans didn’t go 3-7.

If you thought Neyland got LOUD a few times last night, you’re right. But what’s crazy is that we were a good way short of full capacity. At its max, Neyland Stadium is a top-three atmosphere in college football. Just wait until we get this program back at a high level ...
