Lunardi just said after the game

[Peyton Berry]

that Tennessee is still a 3 seed. Also said that they have been behind in the pecking order all year to Auburn and Kentucky and Tennessee’s head to head wins against them “really doesn’t matter”. Just blows my mind the disrespect UT is getting.
Nevermind that TN’s resume is now better in every way than any other team in the SEC

 

[The Tall Gguy]

That is crap if 2 teams we beat head to head and records close would be ahead of us.

Lunardi is a moron

There should be no reasonable way that Vols should be seeded behind either of them or seeded lower than a 2.

 

[bigdaddy]

Lunardi can eat a bag

 

[SDV]

His explanation made zero sense

 

[madbamahater]

Immediately after the win, ESPN and Joe Lunardi went full on assault of Tennessee's accomplishments. Lunardi is an all out turd. Basically said what Tennessee did wasn't impressive and means nothing for the big dance.

 

[UTK]

Zero reason to not be a two seed. We just won the best conference in basketball. Have a winning record vs Kentucky. All our losses are to top teams.

 

[zaqhhh]

Lunardi is looking worse and worse, both in his predictions and just physically rough

 

[Orange Maniac]

His reasoning and comments were some of the dumbest crap I have ever heard from an analyst.

 

[vanillagorilla]

He's about to meet vol twitter head on. I kinda feel sorry for him.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Lundari yes, but you can't lump all of ESPN in with him. Most everyone else so far today says we're a 2.

 

[Incredible_duck]

Fat people usually say dumb things.

 

[General Jack]

Good thing his opinions don’t mean Jack shizzle to the committee.

 

[onthehill71]

No wonder bracketology is not respected by anyone. This guy just made maybe the dumbest statement I've ever heard other than man love over Duke/NC/Zona that ESPN gushes.

 

[SDV]

Fat people usually say dumb things.

I giggled

 

[UTK]

**** em

 

[cncchris33]

I mean, you aren't kidding. It really flies in the face of any logic, and it just stinks of pride and foolishness resulting in the refusal to move them up any sooner.

Rat Bastard

 

[Tman44]

Lunardi is not the selection committee.

 

[General Jack]

Broadcasters were all about Tennessee.

 

[zaqhhh]

Going to get Doxxed by Vol Twitter

I am calling it

 

[orangelo]

So I have an idea. Instead of idiots like Joe Lunardi and prognosticators setting the table for the tournament how about leaving it to the professionals… VEGAS. Do your automatic bids. Establish the top favorite teams on neutral sites and be done… Rant over.

 

[lostsheep]

Even argued we didn’t finish 2nd in the league, pointing out that technically we “tied for 2nd.”
That statement alone discounted his entire argument imo.

 

[General Jack]

If fact they broadcasters were saying Tennessee has a just as good if not better resume than Purdue and Duke. Lunardi might be a hater does this doesn’t need to be an anti ESPN diatribe.
