Poll: how far does TN advance in the 2023 NCAAT?

[YankeeVol]

1-1*

*without knowing the bracket. I may change it once released

 

[therickbol]

Couldn't find the National Championship game option on the poll 🤷

 

[VolCalls]

Sweet 16 I'll go on record further than that in my prediction. I'll say we are a 4 seed and that they place us in the region with 1)UCLA 2)Texas 3)Miami 4)Tennessee 5)San Diego State

So we go 2-1 in an out west region and San Diego St eliminates us. 😢

UCLA won’t get a 1-seed. Those will be Bama, Houston, Kansas, and Purdue.

 

[TucsonVol]

I believe sweet 16 . Go Vols

Always up and down with not much of a chance!

 

[RockyTopTexas]

I live in Greenville, SC too….I’d REALLY like for that not to happen

They are so good !

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

I do t think seeding will make much difference except for game 1. Barnes has a chance to silence his naysayers.

He’s had the same opportunity over the past 14 seasons

Close this poll just before the selection begins. Lock in the numbers,
and then start a new poll after the seedings. It will be interesting to
see the differences.

It will depend on bracket but I say 1-1. With more favorable bracket, Sweet 16.

If San Diego State eliminates us under your scenario, we don't make Sweet 16. San Diego State would get that spot.

We will be lucky to win one. No way we make it out of the first weekend. Barnes has just killed this team's confidence with all the lineup changes and not letting his team play free. He preaches defense but the main way to beat the other team is to outscore them. Barnes is a good guy, but his teams are just not going to have that killer instinct. Hoping I'm wrong, but I have watched this team play the last 6 weeks. It hasn't been pretty. Go VOLS.

Not debating your position but to be fair with all the injuries (some still trying to play through them) the lineup by necessity looked different from time to time. It’s just hard for me to blame Rick very much after the success we’ve had this year. We beat two #1 seeds if it falls like it’s appearing to. And some injuries the public never knew about. But I certainly understand your frustration.

Someone already fixed this.

 

[YankeeVol]

1-1. Not getting past Duke

 

[mscc1998]

Without ZZ, we are not conditioned to win back to back games. We should get by the first game after a 5 day rest. After 2 days, the 2nd round without ZZ, a tall order. My guess, two and through.

Poll is open until Wednesday evening.

Anybody that has already voted can change their choice today.

Here’s the results a half hour before the selection show.

What is the down side to banking on KenPom, RPI other analytics when filling out brackets?

 

[Jax_Vol]

Put it on record.

Stick a fork in da scarecrow vols.

No zig = no heart

320 voters choked.

46 haters can GTFO.

Great job by Barnes and the boys today. They have officially exceeded my expectations. Man, this feels like the most special R32 win I can remember.

Well, it’s only TN’s 7th or 8th. The first Sweet 16 was in a 16 team field.

True. Sweet 16s are not easy to come by.

To be fair, If the Vols would have lost today, a lot of RB pumpers would be no shows right now. It works both ways.

Fans are going to sh** on other fans no matter the outcome

For the record, I voted 1-1. Without ZZ, I believe that was a realistic prediction. Very happy I was wrong

1-1 was the consensus and very reasonable. A bunch of the 0-1s were trolling first and foremost.

More than happy to be wrong.
