Tennessee has announced the designated sections for Vol fans in sections 29, 30, and 230. I went to look at tickets and there are no tickets in section 30 remaining, very few in section 29, and a not a whole lot in section 230. Tickets as low as $40-$50 in the upper deck. It looks like there has been a lot of purchasing in these sections. Very few available in these sections on Ticketmaster.

We were already on the 2 line

sorry...meant to say when we were on the one line, we lost and dropped

I don’t think either Utah State or UCLA has the scoring depth to beat us if we play to our standard of defense.

Utah State is 2-3 over their last 5, losing to Colorado State twice and Boise State. UCLA is 3-2 over their last 5, losing to Wisconsin and Purdue.

I’d say UCLA would be the tougher battle, but what’s nice is that they don’t have a dominant big. Our guards would force them to shoot tough shots.

Edit: Utah State is 149th (sheesh) in KenPom defensive efficiency.

My concern is staying out of foul trouble. ZZ has struggled picking up early fouls.

Also, Igor showed us all that he is much needed to help with the boards.

Looked like my former work place when they announced the new general manager!

Anyone have a go to site for NCAA tourney team injury updates? Kind of hard to pick my million dollar bracket when I don't know if guys like Burler, Flagg, and Thiero are playing.

Memphis is a wierd profile. They have some great wins: Uconn, Mich State, Ole Miss, Mizzou, Vlemson. BUT they are LOWER in kenpom than their first round opponent, Colorado St (51 vs 42) (SOS is about the same between them)

They played a bunch of close games in their conference, so their efficiency numbers aren’t the greatest.

I’m picking Colorado State to pull the upset.
