KY is well above us. They were already fighting for a 1 seed lol. We never were.

I do think we can realistically hope we jump over a team or two and make a 2 seed. One can hope!

Execpt TN and UK have basically the same resume. And TN is actually better, more quad 1 wins and no bad losses.

Glad we have Rick Barnes and are about to roll through the rest of the schedule. Go Vols! Setting up for a big, late surge that will be boat loads of fun to watch.

Enjoy the winning coach we have! Go Vols!

Couldn’t resist this self bump, posted midway through that Texas game. I had a lot of faith in Barnes and this team then, and I have even more now. Hope we catch breaks and get to the Final Four. This team is good enough to at least do that, and maybe to win it all!

Tonight we griddy like champions

 

[UpstateVol613]

Let’s go Iowa!! Some of these crackheads have Purdue ahead of us. Also I hope VolTwitter is dragging Lunardi.

 

[drvenner]

If ky gets a better seed than TN I'm gonna kick McGill in his cranky nuts.

If it happens, we all need to punt him in the jimmies.

Hell, I was just 13. I am old as dirt now. Woo hooo hoooooo!!!

I was 9. You are old.

 

[vol4eva]

In tears today. It’s great to be a Tennessee Vol!!

Joe Lunardi is an idiot.

For real. I had to turn it off instead of listening to him **** all over our team.

 

[Devo182]

Joe Lunardi is an idiot.

He isn't even on the committee. He's also listed about midrange as a predictor. Iirc he was ranked around 50th out of 100 or so bracket predictors.

Fwiw the top 3 or 4 prediction sites all had us a 3 seed as well yesterday. Though I did find a site that was #4 or #5 best predictor having us the last 2 seed.

Today can only help, yet there was no one to lose in front of us. This is largely a 2 way street. Hopefully Duke losing last night and today's win is enough for the committee to squeak us in as a 2 seed.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

TB said TN is expecting a 2 in Greeneville. Said it would be a total slap in the face if they get anything else.

You were still sniffing Elmers Glue. He and I were thinking about panties

Team internally expects to be Greenville 2.

Edit: Checkerboard’d

KY is not above us. If idiots think that they're dumber than I thought. A team you've beaten 2 out of 3 times in a season is not and should not be considered "above you".

 

[jakez4ut]

A bunch of ******** if we are not at least a 2. Lunardi’s reasoning is horseshit.

"It doesn't matter they win head to head they've been behind auburn and Kentucky all year"

 

[Devo182]

"It's my honor to present the trophy to. . . . . . and I really mean that"
He had to emphasise that he really meant it, because it's not true and everyone knows it.

Sankey is a self-serving, little-hand little-man, sociopath. He was so fragile over being paid less taan most P5 commishes he had to go out and try to wreck the entire P5 balance so he could comman more money. He's a wannabe strongman leader cuck.

I just don’t see how our resume isn’t objectively better than Kentucky’s at this point. We’ve beaten better teams, they’ve lost to worse teams, and we’ve got a 2 of 3 advantage head to head.

I guess the whole world has become “home wins don’t count” people.

 

[KPT_VFL]

GBO!!!! feels so good! Now let’s make that big tourney run!!

 

[drvenner]

How can you not love this dude and love this team?

I don't see how we can't. You could see that Lunardi was doing his best to convince himself of what he was saying.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Only won by 15. We clearly suck.

Agreed, we closed it out like we should have and that’s all that matters. But definitely gonna have to focus and minimize the sloppiness to go deep into the dance.

We each won at home, but we also beat them on a neutral floor. That should absolutely put us above them.
