VolFeed: Tennessee Makes The Sweet 16 and Vol Nation Reacts
Welcome to VolFeed, where we keep a lookout at what’s happening on Twitter whilst the Vols give their best efforts. Here’s what some fans, media members and important University folks had to say throughout the game.
People enjoyed the hot start:
Jarnell Stokes just outran Mercer guards for a dunk the way Jason Witten outran Michigan safeties in the 2001 Citrus Bowl.

OMG!!! Yes — Jayson Swain (@JaysonSwain) March 23, 2014
We want the Miami Heat!

And … that’s what you do to an underdog in the first couple of minutes.

We also learned that there were some luminaries at the game & watching:

Hahaha!!! RT @GrantRamey: @wesrucker247 Just imagine if Richardson had a strong defensive game to back up that offense.

I’ll say this about Vols strength coach Nicodemus Christopher. People have never been so intimidated by a man in a purple sweater.

I think a lot of y’all owe Cuonzo Martin an apology. And he’s the type to accept it and welcome you back.

The 22 double-doubles for @JarnellStokes ties Bernard King for the Tennessee single-season record. King had 22 in 1976-77.
