First of all, we had better be the #3 seed in Nashville. We earned it and that's about as good a set up for a UT team in the tournament as I can remember. As far as goals, though, for as great as this season has been, a second round exit to a Miami or Houston would make this season a bit of a let down, especially if we get them in our capital city.
Matchups will be everything with this team. It's clearly a solid team, but will not overwhelm teams with their talent. It will be to our benefit to avoid teams like Kentucky who have underachieved, but have high level talent. Xavier may be a better team overall, but I'd rather play them than a Carolina or, especially, Duke.
Anyway, in my opinion, we make the second weekend and we're playing with house money in the Sweet 16 and beyond.
