How can Tennessee not receive a #1 seed?

[kxtop]

Joe Lunardi is nuts! He had Kentucky as solid one seed and Tennessee a #2. VOLS win and no #1 seed...even after we already defeated Kentucky twice plus Gonzaga. Give me a break!!

Amd Mich St in front of Tennessee?? All our losses have been to good teams.

He also indicated that UK only needed to win today, but we still have more to prove. We beat them twice and have 2 fewer losses. What a bunch of crap.

 

[ETV]

Saw his commentary. Even one of the announcers was like WTH?

 

[JoAllan]

I agree..... however if Tennessee were to lose tomorrow they prob should not be a 1 seed. If they do win, which I think they will they better get a one.

So if we lose tomorrow does Kentucky drop to a 3 seed or do you have Kentucky ahead of Vols even though Vols have less overall losses and the head to head match up.

Lunardi and ESPN are an absolute crock of crapish.....

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Lunardi is trying to maintain that UK is a 1 seed post game lololol

1 seed, 2 seed... the cream rises to the top. We have a hell of a team. We just won a final four game today. Proud of our guys.

It’s blue blood bias. It exists so you need to learn to deal with it.

 

[VolInNW]

As long as Dook gets a #1 seed, Dook Vitale and the rest of the ESPN crew are happy.

 

[GBO97]

Blue blood treatment. A total joke. Anyone who watched the comeback we just made can't possibly argue that we don't deserve a 1 seed.

 

[Voltopia]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. ESPN has an investment in the ACC due to their long-term deal with the conference for media rights. They are going to push the ACC every chance they get, and they are going to push Zion Williamson to the heights of the heavens. They are biased for the ACC, and they will continue to be biased for the ACC. The more people talk and care about Duke, UNC, and Zion Williamson, the more money they make. It's that simple.

29-4 > 27-6

Why do you all even open a thread to talk about him? He is not on the committee. He is a meaningless nothing that figured out a way to scam for money by having all you all pay attention to him.

We need Kansas to Win tonight.

So if we lose tomorrow does Kentucky drop to a 3 seed or do you have Kentucky ahead of Vols even though Vols have less overall losses and the head to head match up.

If Tennessee loses tomorrow they will most likely be a 2 and prob a higher 2 than KY.

Why on earth would anyone think KY “should” be ahead of TN..... and what makes you think, I think that?

Just said if Tennessee lost (tomorrow) they won’t be a 1. If Tennessee were Duke or KY maybe they would be or if they had a top 10 sos, but they aren’t and don’t. So I believe they have to win to get the 1.

“Blue” bias could be moving a bit, “they” may be beginning to see Barnes as a program builder!

Wouldn’t hurt if FSU won, too.

Well, you know, Kentucky had some quality losses to highly ranked teams like Duke and LSU and twice to....

 

[Phil-A-Man Jaro]

I could tell Jimmy Dykes wasn't buying it before the game when they talked to Lunardi.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Who cares. Win championship tomorrow is focus. Then this crap

 

[JoAllan]

Wouldn’t hurt if FSU won, too.

I could be wrong, but it looks like they “want” to give Duke a 1..... if I am right we prob need Duke to win. I just want to see more space between Duke and UNC. Duke won a very close one if they drop one tomorrow they put no gap on UNC..... I don’t want to see Virg, Duke, and UNC getting a one...... then you could have Tennessee, Gonzaga and Mich ST trying for the last one.

Sure I think Tennessee should get it and they prob would...... but if there were 2 spots up for grabs I would feel more confident the committee would give prob the 3rd one to Tennessee...... just my opinion.

And TENNESSEE TWICE..
