Lol why wouldn't we be in a play in game? That's just the way **** goes for us

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Not in the dance until you win the play in. IMO.

Bingo

 

[Sandvol]

No, I disagree the play-in or first round game is considered part of the tournament.

 

[orange plasma]

We are in the dance and Vol fans still mad!

Still disappointing with this team. Not actually in yet IMO

 

[volmanbill]

Apparently there's still a lot of disagreement. If that is their intention, they probably shouldn't label these games "play-in" games.

The real question here is if the games make the tourney contest brackets...

We have a pretty sweet draw looking at our bracket.

We had a sweet draw in the NIT last year as well.

I like our chances of getting to sweet 16 as long as we play defense like we've been.

Does anyone really care about the NIT?????

Lunardi is a loser.

Will someone please take the time to explain to me the "play in" system. In my mind, it should be for those in the lowest seeds, those who were the last to get in. Not quite sure why we are playing Iowa when there are teams ranked below us not having to play in. Thanks in advance.

Lol. What about our offense? It's all about closing out opponents in the tourney.

 

[Bballvol]

No. That's the point. We need a coach.

 

[Buddr]

It doesn't really matter to me what anyone else calls it, to me it is a play in game, simple as that the tournament will always be 64 teams to me. The only reason for the "play in game" is money. Tennessee is not in the 64 yet if they win the "Play In Game" then they are in.

 

[mtt2d]

Florida should roll.

I agree. This gators team is playing light out.

Just shows we were really in the last 4 in.

It's all about revenue

Listening to Dick V just pisses me off.

To do that, 3 games in 5 days.

 

[volgrad500]

Wow, that was much closer than I though lol

 

[patrick]

Well I will say this about CCM - I think he is a mediocre coach on his best day.... I feel like he is a con man for taking 1.5 mill a year from the University for his results on the court - specifically barely eking out one NCAA play-in game in three years. Pearl was and is many times the coach that CCM will ever be.......

 

[UT_Dutchman]

We have a pretty sweet draw looking at our bracket.

That's what I was thinking as well. We should match - up good with the first 2 teams.

So then why are we...and Iowa an 11 seed? This whole thing makes no sense to me.
