Summary

GoVols247’s Wes Rucker and Grant Ramey convened at the GoVols247 Mobile Studio — a hotel across the street from Coleman Coliseum, in this case — to discuss Tennessee’s wild, come-from-behind, 69-68 win at Alabama and interview Barnes and several of his players.

The first segment of this episode features a quick breakdown of Tuesday’s game — a game in which the Vols trailed by 15 points late in the first half — and interviews with Barnes, junior guard Yves Pons, junior forward John Fulkerson, senior guard Jordan Bowden and freshman guard Davonte Gaines. All four of those Vols played a big role in Tuesday’s win and had plenty to say afterward.

The second segment of this episode features a more thorough dissection of Tuesday’s game — the highs, the lows and everything in between — and a discussion on how badly the Vols needed that win. What does that win mean? How does it change things heading into Saturday’s showdown with Kentucky? Is Fulkerson a legitimate go-to guy now? Has Gaines earned a rotation role even after star freshman Josiah-Jordan James returns from his hip injury, and when will James return from that injury? What does Gaines’ performance mean for Jalen Johnson’s role moving forward? How important was it for Bowden to stay confident despite a rough perimeter shooting performance and find other ways to score and help Tennessee win? What’s the immediate future hold for Uros Plavsic? Those are just some of the topics discussed in the second segment of this episode.

The next GoVols247 Podcast episode will be released Thursday, unless major breaking news occurs before that point.
