Two Elite Eights in a row is now a mountain we can't overcome. Have to disagree. Yes we were tight and couldn't hit the broadside of a barn today but if we lose our record will be 30-8. I'll take that any day all day long. I think actually Barnes greatly overachieved with this team.
Barnes has not only won at a very high level consistently but has done so with great class. He perhaps is a better person than a coach. And for that I am grateful. This has been a great run for Vol basketball, Final Four would just be the cherry on top. If don't make it still have one helluva...
Was the SEC overrated going into the tourney. Somewhat disappointing with Bama even struggling against 15 seed Robert Morris. Football falls a little flat post-season, now basketball. Was hoping for more SEC wins in basketball. Sure hope the Vols don't stumble against UCLA but overall league...
And get a #2 seed(I suspect it would be the highest or 2nd highest #2) then whose region do you want of the #1 seeds? Guess it would likely be Duke or Houston to avoid a potential Elite 8 All-SEC matchup.
Biggest....doubtful. But VERY big in terms of history of Vol basketball with now a very good chance to secure the first ever #1 seed in the NCAA. And with a #1 seed a better path to the Final Four!!
Just back from the game. Vol fans turned out in very good numbers. Vol defense was a let down. Candy with too many drives to the basket, too many open 3s and their bigs bullied us down low. Think we were out rebounded as well. Turning point was likely when Z went to the bench with 2 fouls with 7...
Another "old fart" who concurs with your analysis of the season. From here on it's all gravy. We are in the CFP, road game or not. I remember the days Vol fans were excited about the Bluebonnet Bowl!! Yes we'll all be disappointed if we falter in the first round but don't lose sight of the big...
Certainly hope the committee avoids SEC-SEC matchups in the first round. With all the debate about SOS, etc best way to solve it is with intersectional/cross-conference matchups in the first round. Makes too much sense so probably won't happen, ha!
Kiffin said what most are thinking. If I've got two losses better to NOT be in championship game rather that risk a 3rd loss and perhaps get pushed out of the CFP,
