Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes discussed Sunday's win against the Cavaliers.
"Just really excited and proud of our guys," Barnes said. "They worked hard, they had to, to play a team like Virginia. I got the most respect for Ryan Odom and what he's done in a short time there at Virginia, but really proud of our guys.
"Both teams played extremely hard throughout. Every possession matters. A great win for us, but I was really proud of these guys. They fought through a lot of things that maybe we didn't have to, but they found a way to fight through it."
