Tennessee fans and media are using this butler as motivation. They are calling it bulletin board material.
Uh oh!
Look, you win or lose. Nothing Lamont said or anyone else said going to mean too much.

What is the point of a bookmark for a fanbase that can't read?
They’re taking that quote and running with it lol. Trying to get the fans and players up as much as they can for this game
Exactly I don’t Get what they expected him to say. Yeah man we’re gonna lose the game.
They tagging all their players and official team account every time lol.
I remember a couple years back, one of their knucklehead football players came out and said “we don’t lose to Kentucky”. Then they proceeded to not lose to Kentucky.
Same deal.
Same deal.
This guy about to be in for a rude awakening:
That's it? "We're going to win" ??? After already beating them twice? How dare he?
If you need bulletin board material for the NCAA Tournament, you lack focus.
I love the confidence though, we had so many teams over the years beat better Calipari teams because they came in with that mindset. We are the better team and we are gonna win. We aren’t scared and we will give it our all. It will be a war.
If you need “extra motivation” or “bulletin board” material for a Sweet 16 game, I’d say you’re off to a bad start. Might explain why their program is being led by a coach who hasn’t been to a Final Four since LeBron James was still in high school.
Thank God he didn’t boo UT amirite? We would for sure lose according to some on here.
Take him over Little Z everyday. Lamont shoots better with a taped on shoulder. Their defense is both top tier though.
Someone needs to enlighten them on who he is and that we beat them twice already without him.
I didn't hear him guarantee that win nor did I hear him act cocky.
Bring it, you coon tail wearing sacks of excrement.
If they are using what Butler said there, that means they ARE worried about this game. At this point in the season bulletin board material doesn’t mean much. Execution and desire to win is first and foremost for this game, not psychological games.
They are way more nervous for this game than we are.
Imagine watching them brick shots against us and losing both games and then downplaying our guys lol we beat them idiots twice and neither were at full strength. They never had to face the full team and they're on the verge of getting swept. They have to be nervous at this point
Being honest here, not a fan of if. If it were Tennessee, a lot of our fans would be saying get this to the locker room too. No reason to poke the bear though. I know they’ll be up for revenge after 2 losses this season but why add fuel to the fire
If Butler said something untoward I’d get that but this was a nothing sandwich
No I understand it wasn’t anything stupid or anything even close. But having beaten them twice already this season they’ll be after it already. Just prefer to leave out the “we’re gonna win”. Maybe put “we’re battle tested and playing to win” I guess I’m just used to watching too many ufc/boxing matches where the cocky fella gets rocked lol
That’s what I’m saying though. It didn’t sound cocky to me. It seems Tennessee people are really having to reach on this one which reeks of desperation
That says it all right there.
Hey, Vols!
mm-o0-mm the boogie man is coming to get you

What a bunch of nothing. Of course he thinks we're going to win. Our fans think we will win. I think Tennessee is scared.
Butler said (and believes) the same thing 90 percent of UT fans, players and coaches believe.
Using that innocuous quote to fire up a team who is 0-2 against the Cats this year . . . just very bad psychology on UT’s part.

It did not even sound like he was talking about the UT game in particular, they ask him how he they were battle tested and he said we just play with love and compassion and were gonna win that game. MEANING the games that battle tested us.
This reminds me of when Lane Kiffin was UT's football coach. Kentucky actually had the better team but UT still won. After the game Kiffin said in the interview "At the end of the day they are still Kentucky and we are still Tennessee". I kinda liked that to tell you you truth.
Makes me wonder if Tenn is in trouble and some can feel it. Their first two games were pretty meh. I think we're seeing the usual Rick Barnes great-defense but poor-offense type of teams, and this is about when they bow out.
We have nothing to lose. Let's give it our all in the game. Don't care about the past results — this is a new series, and the score is 0-0.
I believe we can beat them if we play our game
