Dude, what the hell does conference have to do with making a final four??? Playing in a bad conference makes it statistically much much harder to make a F4. You’re not helping yourself….. don’t drink and message board

It’s been fun, I’m gonna leave before the hillbillies dip too hard into the shine for the weekend. Let’s do this again, same time same place next year when Ol Regular Season Rick bows out of the tourney early again.

Only 90+ teams have been to a Final Four. Tennessee wasn’t even one of them…..

I’m actually 37, my birthday was a couple weeks ago. I’ll send you an address if you want to mail me a present. What I’m taking pleasure in is a UT fan starting a thread about Memphis. Memphis losing to an FAU team. By one. That UT then lose to by 7. I’m sorry if you can’t see the ironic comedy...

LOL, y’all the one starting a Memphis thread. At least when we have a down year I can reminisce about the times we played big games in the Final Four over three different decades. But hey, that one time y’all made an Elite Eight was pretty cool? Enjoy writing that big check to Barnes, maybe...

This aged well. Another year, another early exit for a Rick Barnes team. What is that, 4 or 5 years now that he’s lost as a higher seed? He hasn’t made a Final Four in over 20 years, although that one he has is one more than UT has I’m their entire history. Y’all sure he is worth that Top 5...

When did I whine about it being unfair we don’t have Wiseman? Of course you play with what’s available and it is what it is. Now intelligently tell me how Wiseman’s and Lester’s absence doesn’t create an increased opportunity for UT to get a quality win over a team projected to be highly ranked...

That's fine, I don't want to get in a back and forth on where exactly this game ranks although I would consider it top 10 in "importance". All I'm saying is it is definitely important and I would argue very important as it relates to making the tournament and seeding since Quad 1 wins are a huge...

A potential quad one win has very little importance? If you want to say it’s more important to the fans I can get behind you there, but if making the tournament and having a decent seed are goals for this season then I’d say this game has some importance.

A walkon averaging around 6 minutes a game leaving Memphis is news on this board? Slow day in Knoxville?

Knoxville has never been a real and consistent threat to get Memphis kids. I’ve been reading this board and others off and on for 10+ years and there has always been talk that “if UT ever lives up to their potential and gets their foot in the door” then they’ll own Memphis. Still, it’s never...

Memphis worries more about Tennessee than Kansas (Tarik Black, Vick, both Lawsons) or Kentucky (DJ Jeffries, Wiseman, Skal)?

I’m not gonna pretend Memphis is Kentucky or Duke, but let’s not pretend that UT is superior to Memphis in basketball. UT has made it past the Sweet Sixteen only one time in its history, and has never made a Final Four. Memphis has at least made multiple Final Fours in multiple decades.

Austin Nichols was just dismissed from Virginia. UT missed on him the first two times, but maybe the third time is the charm???

So I usually take a break in the summer and haven't checked in for a while. Good to see this thread hasn't changed, it's still the rip on DB for anything and everything he says, deserved or not. Seriously though, are we going to start requiring members to report their monthly expenditures to...
