It potentially gets us closer to bringing the vaccine into play which could put an end to this mess. If I were running the NCAA, I would see if it would be possible logistically/politically to get players vaccinated the day of FDA approval (note: full, not emergency use). The number of vaccine...

I'm not certain but I think you have them dropping one more game than is required. This is the current schedule posted at utsports.com: Wisconsin - 11/11 Presbyterian - 11/14 Tennessee Tech - 11/27 George Washington - 12/2 Cincinnati - 12/12 Memphis - 12/19 USC Upstate - 12/22 Norfolk State -...

That game is part of the Jimmy V classic, which would also be in the Orlando bubble, so should be all good on that front.

Howard's endowment is $692.8 million while Tennessee's is $1.355 billion. It's worth noting that Tennessee has about three times as many students, so on a per student basis Howard's is higher. While indeed a $5 million donation would have a higher impact at Howard, I would not describe it as a...

Devil's advocate, the results last night worked in our favor. Assuming Tennessee beats Auburn Saturday... If Texas A&M wins, that will drop Tennessee to an 8 seed and lock Bama in as the 9 seed. Kentucky would then be the Friday opponent if Tennessee beats Bama. If Arkansas wins things get...

You are correct, there was a transcription error on the second formula, it should be: (0.72 * 0.5 * 0.53) + //lose first, win next two (0.28 * 0.5) + //win first two (0.28 * 0.5 * 0.53) //win first, lose second, win third Basically, I modified the wrong value on the third line. Anyways that...

Sorry to be that guy. Going off Kenpom, the odds of winning at least 2 from the next 3 are: (0.72 * 0.33 * 0.53) + //lose first game and then win next two (0.28 * 0.33) + //win first game, win second game (0.28 * 0.67 * 0.53) //win first game, lose second game, win third game = 0.3178 If we...

It's possible Blackshear told all the coaching staffs involved that a decision was coming tonight, and the Florida guy's source was the first to pick up the phone. That would match up with reports on TOS that Tennessee's staff is expecting a decision, too. Not to say it isn't going to be...

What rating are you getting this from? If you use the Sagarin ratings, the odds of us losing all our remaining road games is only 20.4 percent.

They'd BE in tournament range. They just jumped 70 spots with a home win over a top 50 team. They would probably jump another 40 with a road win over an additional top 50 team. The RPI is incredibly malleable right now by the way. Keep in mind Gardner Webb is a top 40 team right now at 3-4.

Sure, that's what I said. I just have zero confidence in Dave Hart, and I don't know why anyone would considering the guy we're talking about canning two games into his career is Hart's first basketball hire.

The potential attrition from having three coaches in three years would probably set us back to the O'Neill era. There is no guarantee anyone comes back to next year's team, we lose a whole year of systems development when the new coach brings his in, there is no guarantee any of our players come...

If this had happened before August, I would have said yes. As it stands, we're better served letting this thing play out. If it becomes obvious a show cause or major infractions are going to come, we fire him at the end of the year. Otherwise, for better or worse, we're going to stick with him...

Apologies, but there's not really a polite way of saying your opinion is based off nothing but a few memories from a 37 game season. I went for the cheeky route which you didn't appreciate, but in all seriousness I don't understand how you can look at those statistics and think "yeah, too...

Well, these statistics I'm looking at say 87 assists and 34 turnovers in 620 minutes. That seems pretty good to me. But, unlike you guys, I lack a photographic memory and an amazing working knowledge of point guard play. I guess I'll just have to defer to you, since all I've got to go off are...
