Huge day from Fulky (24 points) as Tennessee knocks of a top-10 team. Very energetic and needed win from the Vols as they head into SEC play against No. 10 Alabama after the holiday break.
Vescovi on his first game at UT:
“I can still remember it like it was yesterday … it was a welcome to reality moment. Making those first couple 3’s and seeing the stadium go off, it was an environment I wasn’t used to playing in, and it really meant a lot to me.”
Vescovi on his relationship with Josiah:
“He’s been my partner, best friend, brother since day one … I couldn’t have gotten to where I’m at now if it wasn’t for him. We got to enjoy whatever we have left and I know we are going to be brothers for the rest of our lives.”
Josiah-Jordan James on his time at UT:
“I’ve gotten lifelong relationships, I’ve gotten humbled through this program and I wouldn’t be the man that I am today without being here and going through these experiences. I’m so indebted to Coach and his staff for sticking with me.”
First person to reply with this tweet with their favorite baseball player (or coach) on UT’s roster will win a 6 pack of tickets to tonight’s game versus Tennessee Tech!
Santiago Vescovi on takeaways from his time at UT:
“The relationships with the guys, bonds that are gonna be there forever. I’ve grown as a person and a basketball player … most importantly I’ve created a home here, Knoxville is gonna be in my heart forever.”
Arkansas coach Eric Musselman has nothing but praise for Santiago Vescovi tonight as he described him as "simply phenomenal." He also complimented Vescovi for the level of composure he has as a freshman
It’s August, and Tennessee fall camp is right around the corner!
Josh Heupel, Tim Banks, and Joey Halzle will take the podium in a few minutes.
Player availabilities will follow.
James on Dalton Knecht:
“I feel like if lot of people were in DK’s position they’d be more selfish, but being around him off the court he’s such a selfless person, he makes the locker room laugh and keeps us uplifting. Wherever he ends up I know he’s someone I can count on.”

Barnes on Dalton Knecht’s impact:
“His humility. He said from the beginning he wanted to be apart of a winning program, to have a chance to play in the NCAA tournament, and to be coached hard … I’ve walked out of here many nights late, and Dalton is still here.”
A bit chilly but another great setting for today’s rubber match!

Rick Barnes on the upcoming matchup against Kentucky:
“We have great respect for Kentucky. They are the most explosive offensive team in the country. It doesn’t take much to get our guys attention, we know that we are gonna have to be ready to play.”
