Given the history of UT in the SEC tourney over the past well...let's just say the entire history of Tennessee's involvement in the tourney says they will crap out again. But, let's just say they do okay. here's a scenario:
Tennessee beats Alabama, Tennessee beats Florida, Tennessee beats Mississippi State, Loses to KY. Record, 18-12, Buzz says we have a shot now for the NCAA, don't get selected, goes to NIT, loses to another Georgetown because players feel they deserved NCAA bid.
While unlikely to get through 3 games and play in 4, I can just see it now in the papers.
Here is what I think will happen.
Tennessee loses to Alabama 74-73 on a last second tying 3 pointer by Bama to go into overtime. Buzz doesn't get his players to foul....AGAIN... , goes to NIT, loses in first round because players have quit on Buzz.
I'm tired of saying just wait until next year because this theme has played out so many years in the past.
