Vols are a 6 seed in Midwest

[tn4elvis]

Or we could easily make it to the sweet 16. Flip a coin with this team. They can beat anyone and lose to anyone.

Never been a more true statement.

 

[VolCalls]

Vols play at 4:25 Friday afternoon.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

For sure. I made this comment because many folks on here are acting like it's a foregone conclusion. Its going to be a scary game at best.

At best it's a blowout. A scary game is certainly possible

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Tn will best either of the two.

Have a little faith.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Vols play at 7:10 Friday night on CBS.

That's too cool

 

[VolCalls]

How do we know on StubHub if Tennessee is in Session 1 or 2 for buying tickets?

We play in Session 1.

Don’t think it’s actually been confirmed yet. Matt Norlander is usually the one who gets the tip times and the 7:10 PM slot is based on only one reporter. Hope it’s true thought because that would be a good slot.

 

[vol94]

We should beat both of them. We are capable of making another EE run

I like our bracket. Not sure what everyone wants.

Yeah I'd say possibly getting a 30 win team in their hometown for a 1st round tourney game is pretty scary

TN ain’t beating SMU

[Sandman Vol]

A lot of people will be picking us to lose in round one or two.

The only thing that matters is who gets hot. If we can play good perimeter defense against our round 1 opponent and hit our free throws against uva we could be looking at Iowa state/kentucky in S16. I wouldn’t pick us against Iowa state but I would not hesitate to take us in a revenge game against Kentucky.

If Gillespie, ament, and Estrella are all on point, we are a dangerous team. Let’s hope our guys come ready to ball. We’ll need a hot hand to be successful this tourney. Wouldn’t bet on it, but we certainly have the potential to do it.

 

[CamVol8]

Miami OH @ 31-1 will be a tough first round out. Vols won’t make it past UVA

Sadly agree

 

[Sandman Vol]

I can only hope that Jay Bilas calls the Tennessee Virginia game so he can cry about the physicality of Tennessee against a finesse ACC team

I think Bilas generally likes Tennessee. Or am I thinking of someone else? Who has the daughter that goes here?

Jimmy Dykes.


Bilas isn’t a TN fan. He said TN was playing football when we beat Duke. He’s made other similar comments over the years.

 

[GoVols9800]

They freaking suck. Told us a few years ago after winning the sec tournament that it doesn’t help seeding. Now they actually said Arkansas winning the sec tournament moved them to a three seed. Unbelievable bias and just plain lying.

Ark is a four seed. It did not help them. Projected four before tournament

What?

Ah that’s the one thanks. Screw bilas.

He's generally pretty favorable to Tennessee. I agree that Duke game he cried but otherwise he has always been complimentary of the Vols

 

[PanicVol]

What?

I said, possibly getting a 30 win Miami OH team in Dayton, OH is a pretty scary 1st round tourney game. Sorry, should have been more clear.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Based on what.

He doesn't know

 

[cncchris33]

Miami (OH), Smu has some guards who could absolutely get hot

Including a former Vol, BJ Edwards

Real Tip Time is out. 4:25 PM.

 

[omghulkhands]

It seems likely to me since we are playing a team that will be part of the first four. If it’s an early game they’d literally be playing and traveling on a 36 hour turnaround.

Edit: confirmed a little earlier.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Virginia just went toe to toe with the best team in basketball. I think both Michigan state and Illinois are worse 3 seeds than Virginia and I don't think Tennessee could beat Michigan state or Illinois.

with that said our draw could have been a lot worse, I just don't think it matters this year we don't have the team to take advantage of it.

Duke is not the best team right now

Just announced. It’s 4:25.
