I worry more about Wright St. than either Miami or Loyola. If we win our first one, which isn't a gimmie, I think we get to the sweet sixteen. GBO!
They think at cbssports that either Miami or Loyola will end us in 2nd round. Options are like azzholes everybody has one.
Unless he gets injured or fouls out Schofield will bring it. He seldom gets double teamed and he's a match up nightmare at the 3, he's quicker than your big guy and stronger than your quick guy so if his 3's aren't falling he's driving it for a score and then that gets his outside game going. Vols have to have either Bone, Daniels, Bowden or Turner making 3's to keep the defense honest and for the most part one or more of them has been at least warm in every game (except maybe the Bama game). For me the lynch pin is Williams. If the other team takes him away offensively then Grant needs to score on offensive put backs and free throws when fouled scrapping for rebounds. He and Alexander need to defend the rim and get the Vols extra looks on the offensive end. I would love to see Grant's new consistent stat line being 12 pts, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks.
Just another media forecast. Let's play 'em and see who winds up where. :good!:
Media forecasts are not even real opinions. They are part opinion mixed with, ratings goals, and marketing. It's meaningless. They are never right predicting this stuff any more that the people (well most) in your office pool.
Our players SURELY are not gaining motivation from some media based "under the radar" situation. If Barnes hasn't trained them better than to pay no attention to that tripe, then we're screwed already.
Our guy just need to lock in 100% focused playing loose and fast from tip to buzzer. If the round ball bounces our way a few times, then we could make a FF.
I think both Tennessee and Cincinnati are undervalued. Whoever wins that game has a better chance to beat Virginia than I think people realize.
To be fair to Grant, a third of the dumb fouls he commits are like normal boxouts or handoffs that officials decided to call a foul this timeGrant commits some of the DUMBEST fouls some times and he makes you just shake ur head.....!! Like getting fouls out by the 3 point line and he make you say "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING"............him and Bowden doesn't know how to play AGRESSIVE and NOT FOUL !!

Nice to see we will not lose double digit games this year.
And only lost back to back once. And one of those was the one against Arkansas where we lead all but 30 seconds of the game and the other we had a double digit lead against Auburn. This really has been the most consistent team in a very long time. Not many ups and downs this year.
Should have beat Arky, Auburn, @Georgia, Missouri, and UNC. Should be 30-3 right now.
