Yeah I'm sure they had some high expectations going into the season with a potential top 3 pick. You can't predict that type of stuff though. It would have been a completely different team with Porter.

I didn’t buy them being as good as many predicted even with Porter, they’re about where I expected them to be...before their recent slide they were doing better than I had thought.

Those two top 60 rpi wins from earlier in the season are no longer.

UCF 71 (dropped as I predicted)
St Johns 103

Their best win by far is against us. Their second best win is at South Carolina (53 rpi) followed by UGA (60 rpi).

They were getting a lot of love from the computers but it is all shaking out now. Still bummed we let them beat us. We are so much better than them. Can't win them all I know but I really wanted that one.

Side note: St Johns has lost 10 straight. What in the world happened there?

Yup, bad combo for them of their resume falling apart and also losing some games that were winnable. They’ve got some opportunities coming up but I don’t see them getting in the dance.

Scroll down to the bottom and switch over to PC mode (volnation 09). Then click User CP (top left) to change your pic.

Then after you've updated, scroll down to the bottom again and switch it back to Iphone 2012 mode.

SIAP.

14. Tennessee (22):

Unknown. The Vols may be one of the best teams that gets very little pub. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tennessee in the second weekend of the tournament. Tennessee held Iowa State to 45 points. I don’t care if the Cyclones are rebuilding: that’s 45 points at Hilton Coliseum. That’s impressive. Now the key will be maintaining that effort this week against LSU Wednesday and Ole Miss Saturday to continue to pad the resume.

I admit how ashamed of myself I am, for how hard I actually laughed at this.

Foul trouble seems easier to overcome than some of the others listed there.

I also would say our rebounding is a bigger concern

I'm pretty excited that this was the biggest chink they could find in our armor. I feel like that is something we can control with discipline.

I'd have pointed out our 2-pt shooting %, 3-pt FG defense, or average rebounding.

Definitely. The team has the tools to make a run, let’s hope they don’t forget the toolbox.

I think our biggest room for improvement is on defense - preventing 2nd chance opportunities

We held them to 59 points but 18 of those came at the line...it’s what we were doing earlier in the year, I wish there was a way to cut off a couple of those fouls but hard to complain.

18 came at the line in Rupp. I'll allow that given the location lol.
