0-8 all time vs Number 1 seeds

However, with the win over Iowa state, we moved to 1-3 vs 2 seeds all time

Here's the question Rick Barnes needs to ask about Tennessee's Elite Eight misery | Estes

Is there another program that has more to consistently celebrate than Tennessee men’s basketball — without ever really getting to celebrate big?

i was hesitant on saying this earlier but i’ma let it rip.. Getting whooped as badly as we did earlier almost makes you forget completely how well your team did as a whole throughout the tournament..

Is there some team out there that has a terrific record against 1-seeds?

Is there some team out there that has a terrific record against 1-seeds?

This. 1 seeds win 80% of their games in the NCAA tournament. They don't tend to lose.

Good point.

We need a team good enough to be a 1 seed.

 

[DarkVolder]

We got dominated today

 

[AthensVol2007]

We need a team good enough to be a 1 seed.

The 2019 team got screwed for a 6 loss UNC team.

Negavol has a new negavol take daily. “Not” a troll.

University of Maryland-Baltimore County has a 100% win record against 1 seeds. Not so good against all other seeds.

Didn’t we also beat Ohio State when they were a 2 seed? Wayne Chism and company

Yep.

Our likelihood of beating 1 seeds will be extremely low until we ourselves have 1 seed type of talent. If Tennessee wants a final 4/national championship they're going to need to splurge to do it. Even then not a guarantee, but can't keep going in to March relying on 1 or 2 guys to do almost everything. The fact that we've made 3 straight elite 8s doing that is a testament to the coaching and effort of the teams. Just gotta have more reliable options on the roster going forward, so we're not feeling like we've lost all hope when Kobi/Ament or ZZ/Lanier or ZZ/Knecht aren't lighting the world on fire.

Spot on. If you want a FF in today's game you're going to have to buy a whole team. Not one, two guys.

Spot on. He's doing more with less. He needs players.

Those two Colorado kids would be a nice start (Johnson and Dak)

Volnation eliminate the positives and accentuate the negatives.

Yep Michigan just has 3 players from last years team and one is a token son player on a 15 man roster.

It’s a laughable stat

 

[UTFranklinVol]

also 0-4 all time vs Michigan in the tournament.

terrific record I don't think is the point. 8 times is a lot to come up with zero wins especially since Tennessee has been a 2 seed the last 2 years

 

[GAVol]

Kind of interesting to see what seeds outperform. Virtually no difference in being a 5 and a 6 and 7-10 seeds are all very similar as far as making deep runs. 1 seeds greatly outperform as expected.

The difference between being a 1 or a 2 on your Elite Eight chances is more dramatic than what I would have thought. #1s make the EE two-thirds of the time. #2s make it slightly less than 50% of the time.

But to do that here you will have to take money from football, which this fanbase will never accept. We don’t have enough to be top tier spenders in both.

The one that got me was a 6 seed being 30-40% more likely than a 5 to make the Elite 8. That’s a significant deviation.
