Vanderbilt head coach Tim Corbin: Vols are ‘one of the better teams that I’ve seen in 20 years’

No. 1 Tennessee (50-7) defeated No. 8 Vanderbilt (36-20), 10-1, Thursday in the Southeastern Conference Tournament.

Following the contest, Vanderbilt head coach Tim Corbin discussed Tennessee.

“They’re very good in all areas,” Corbin said of Tennessee. “They play with a tremendous amount of confidence, they’re older, they don’t hurt themselves, and they can match up from a pitching standpoint in every area.

“They can go hard and soft, they’re hard guys. They’re very difficult because they command the ball. They command the ball with several different pitches, and they’re attacking. They’re attacking from all areas. I’m not saying just offensively. They’re attacking on the mound, they’re attacking defensively, and they’re attacking offensively. Just one of the better teams that I’ve seen in the 20 years that I’ve been around, without question. Tony (Vitello) has done a good job with them. Their whole staff has.”
