PHOTOS: Tennessee defeats Duke in NCAA Tournament
Following Tennessee’s second-round win over Duke, Vols Wire looks at postgame social media buzz. Tennessee-Duke postgame social media buzz is listed below.
Tennessee ended last year unbelievably hot (13-1) & gets bounced by a bubble team (Michigan) who was 5-5 in their last 10, in the Round of 32.
Tennessee ends this year iffy (6-7) & just beat a team who’s won 10 in a row (Duke) to advance to the Sweet 16.

If you are surprised @Vol_Hoops took down Duke… you have not watched enough @sec hoops. The most physical, athletic, size and speed league in country all year long. Nothing finesse about SEC…ACC plays different style.
