Tennessee couldn’t have asked for a better draw.

So many times over the last few years, it seemed we were really stacked up to fail in our bracket. This bracket, though none of them easy, is, in my opinion, a pretty good draw. Keeping us away from Florida and Auburn as long as possible is a good thing...and if we do our thing, we'll have a great tourney.

Yeah, I like our chances. We can beat every team in our bracket, inc Houston. But we are better than UCLA-Utah State, Illinois and KY -with their two injuries.

Edit- Just read Butler is returning for KY

Looking at Woffard's resume, and they look dreadful. They have a losing record in Quad 3 at 6-9 and no Q1 or Q2 wins. I'm honestly surprised they aren't a 16 seed.

And you are entitled as well. Fortunately for me I take a realistic view. It doesn't mean we are a guaranteed W for Kentucky but I would be licking my chops if I were them. They just need to get past Illinois who will be a tough out.

Probably the fact that our guys had played 3 games in 3 days, 2 against #1 seeds, had something to do with that

True .... and I'm sure that they were still feeling disappointed over losing the SEC Tournament Championship Game. Their perspectives are much different than ours.

Us beating UK is unrealistic? Go ahead and crown them I guess.

Well, we have to beat Houston to make it to the final four or at least make it all the way through that bracket let’s go VOLS

My opinion is just as realistic as yours. Tennessee would lose to anyone missing open shot after open shot the way they did at home vs Kentucky. I just don't see that happening again. Kentucky is atrocious defensively. They don't guard anyone effectively. They allowed 80 points or more 12 different times this season.
