ESPN puts us in play-in game

Not buying any of that mumbo jumbo. You have no idea what happens when that committee gets behind those closed doors. Volnation travels well, so they'd be stupid not to find a spot for us but the way CCM coaches, its bleak at best.

We lost to Texas A&M. Twice. And Vandy with 7 scholarship players. At best NIT in our future. We all know the conference tourneys across the country result in some upsets that forces the NCAA to put some good teams in at large berths that you wouldn't predict. And UT is not one of those good teams.

You are DELUSIONAL, look up the bracketology. Everyone still has us in, some people will hate no matter what the facts are.

Didn't Lunardi have us in right up until the selection show last year?

No, I'm not sure why people keep thinking this.

And sorry if that sounds like an a$$hole, it's not directed at you, it just seems to be a common misconception lately.

No.

According to the bracket matrix I'm looking at right now UT is in according to only 28/90 or so brackets. That would put them in the first four out.

There are a number of projections that don't have the Vols in the dance.

And to me a "play-in" game is not making it into the NCAAT. Now if they win that "play-in" game, then they would be in the NCAAT.

"Play-in" game denotes that you are not in the tourney hence you have to "play-in" to be in the tourney.

Your Holier than thou attitude is wearing thin on people. Because someone has a different view of which direction the program should be heading, you try to make them sound simple.

It doesn't really matter who has us in or out now. We aren't likely to win the next four games. We have shown no inclination to be able to go on a four game winning streak. One more loss and no one will have us in. This team with this coaching staff is simply not an NCAA team.

Your last statement intrigued me. You think Donovan, Stallings, Cal, etc could have taken this team to the tourney easily?

I say yes.

It gets said over and over and over again and people still continue to bash our team when they don't even have facts right! I'm sick of these idiotic posters who post nothing but hate, I'm a vol fan and I'm going to stick up for my university.

I have nothing against a true fan. But ignoring obvious problems in a program that has continually declined is just ignorance on the fans part. CCM has the players and the conference he's in sucks ass. No excuse for not getting there at least once.

I rooted for UK against LSU (bubble reasons) but man, what would've been the reaction had y'all not pulled that one off?

I don't even want to think about it. It's been a roller coaster all year here on campus listening to the fans. Half the time you'd think we're the number one team in the nation and half the time we're nit bound for sure.

Like most things, it's somewhere in the middle.

I have a feeling a top 15-20 team isn't what UK fans had in mind at the start of the season, actually I know it's not. Luckily, all could be forgiven with a deep run into the tournament.
