Tennessee Basketball has moved back up to #6 in the country in the AP and Coaches polls. NET ranking is at #4. This is to closer to where I think we actually are. Yeah, I know there is room for improvement, and it's not a perfect team. Just felt like as a school we needed a bit of a boost in the news cycle today.
We have the talent, depth, athleticism, and size to really compete with anyone in the country on the right day.
Also, just want to unofficially declare with the football news today, Tennessee is a basketball school. We have been since Bruce Pearl, and will be for at least the next 5 years. Yes, the Lady Vols and Summitt are amazing, but in those days, football still ruled. Yes, I also know that even in the last 10 - 15 years, the football program is the money maker.
Last note, this is the first top 25 poll in the last 60 years that doesn't include Duke, UNC, or Kentucky in the Top 25. I am not losing any sleep watching Calipari and Kentucky struggling.
