National Championship, not Final Four, is Vols' goal

[volwarrior33]

Asked Vols center Brian Williams if the Final Four was this team's goal: "No. A national championship is the goal."

"When you're one second away from the Final Four, anything but a championship (this year) is a disappointment."

On Incoming Freshmen: "We added the right pieces that we needed. Those boys can play."

Vols guard Skylar McBee told me he's been working on his ballhandling skills all summer in case Pearl needs him to help at PG.

"I hope to turn into a combo guard, because that will better my options to get on the floor."

“I honestly believe that anything but a Final Four would be a disappointment. But it’s a process, a grind.

Let's hope they back it up on the floor because anyone can say that stuff.

This team has the potential to be great. Let's hope they make it happen.

This team is gonna do work next year no doubt in my mind!!!

 

[arTfuldodger]

I think THAT confidence, coupled with the determination and perserverance they showed post Jan1, could make for a special season. Here's to breaking down walls.

I tried to tell everyone this last year that if we give Tatum minutes, he's going to produce

I will be happy with a Sweet 16 appearance, and Elite 8 will be great.

With a great freshman class and a lot of players returning from an elite 8 season, a sweet 16 appearance and out would be a complete failure IMO. National Championship may be a stretch but a final four is very possible!

Somebody's in for a letdown.

 

[crusse10]

Have we ever had 5 Vols in the NBA at once? I'd consider that draft day the greatest day in program history, bar none.

 

[checkerboards09]

Somebody's in for a letdown.

Why? The Final Four is a strong possibility

 

[Heebs]

Because this team is better than last years? And I seriously doubt we get a draw like we did this year.

We certainly beat a two seed to make it to the elite 8. Anything can happen in the tourney!

Let's hope they KEEP this attitude. I dont want another USC debacle or a blowout in the SEC tournament.
