Be curious to see if our OR% holds up against this squad, since they have size and can rebound and we don’t have Estrella. It’s another test for us. But if we shoot well I don’t know that a rebounding disadvantage will hurt us too badly. |

Didn't we play against that Lampkin kid when he was at Colorado? I remember a huge dude for them that smiled a lot. Also, does Syracuse still play the zone? I don’t recall him. |

Big fan of 'spooky' Rocky Top. Should be a good crowd tomorrow right? Only big 'name' NC home game Agreed on this version of Rocky Top. I want to be in Neyland, as the sun is setting, when they play it in pre-game. |

Same I am fan. I think crowd will be good. Most importantly, if the players wanted it they should have it. Every other sport is able to mix it up and these guys have earned it. If you’re winning, I’m more lenient on leeway for this. But it’s not hideous or anything, and I’d say more people like it than not. |

I love the cream-colored unis in hoops and in baseball. |

I want the win for the obvious reason, but also to give us a 5-3 edge in the series. |

Syracuse was the ACC preseason #11 pick.
Vols are 123-101 all time against current ACC schools.

And if we DON’T shoot well, a game against a team that wins the battle of the boards will be much tougher. Our defense could still pull it out. |
