The No. 16 Vols fought back to defeat Georgia 66-61 in a thriller in front of a sold out Thompson-Boling Arena on Saturday night. And the win gave Tennessee a share of the SEC regular season title, their first SEC title since the 2007-08 season.
And head coach Rick Barnes and his players had plenty to say after the game.
Rick Barnes talked about his team’s resolve to fight back in the game, what he told his players before the game about playing for a title, how the preseason expectations affected things, and much more.
