Tennessee basketball: Thank you Donnie Tyndall for believing in Admiral Schofield

It’s been over 48 hours since Tennessee basketball beat the Gonzaga Bulldogs, the then number one team in the nation. It marked the first time since 2010 that the Vols took down the top team in the land which was the Kansas Jayhawks. And, it was the first time in Rick Barnes’ accomplished such a feat in his 30-plus years of coaching.

In 2010, an underappreciated and underrated Skylar McBee hit a three-point shot to lock up the game against a very talented Jayhawks squad. Fast forward eight years and Admiral Schofield took center stage at the Jerry Colangelo Classic in helping the Vols get a win over Gonzaga going 6-of-10 from beyond the arc.
