Predictions for the tourney?

[Tennessee Vols Fan!!!!]

I'm picking Tennessee to win the whole thing

Difficult path once we get to the sweet 16 but the fact that we keep getting overlooked nationally is going to be the chip on this team's shoulder

Longwood has good three point shooters, but can't defend. Tallest guy is like 6'8. Net ranking is 126, our lowest net loss came against No. 30 Alabama when KC and Fulky were out... only a 1 point loss.

Michigan, there's no telling if they are even going to make it past the first round, just a total spiraling free fall for them. They have no business even making it in the tourney (Net 34). If we draw CSU (Net 28), the only player we should worry about is All American David Roddy

Villanova while ranked high, is not the same team we played in November. They struggled against the likes of St. John's, Creighton, Uconn and Providence late in the year. Their best ball was early in the season

Arizona, well, we already beat them, so this squad shouldn't be worried to see them again. Going to be a very physical game inside and we have multiple bigs so that works out to our advantage.

Final 4, I have Iowa beating Auburn. Obviously a dark horse pick to have Iowa that far in the tourney, but they are capable. If Tennessee can shut down their perimeter shooting, which they have done against teams this season, it will be a blowout.

I have Tennessee beating Kentucky in the national championship game 73-71

Go Vols! WGWTFA!!!

I love this but I’m going Gonzaga winning it and Tennessee making the final four

Man, I'm glad Gonzaga isn't on our side of the bracket! Don't get me wrong, I think we are very capable of beating them, but that's ESPN's team!

I think our guard play matches up well with Gonzaga.

Honestly, I think their golden boy Chet is overrated too

It’s honestly very possible we play Gonzaga in the Championship game

Lets make it happen.

I'd like to beat them again

I think Tennessee loses a hard fought game in the S16 to Villanova. Which wouldn’t be a disappointing season at all. 25+ wins, SECT champs for first time in 40 years and a S16.

Man, I think Tennessee is going to be ready ready that game. Revenge time

I’ll believe Tennessee in a 3rd weekend game when I see it again. Been burned too many times getting my hopes to those levels.

No predictions here but this team certainly looks the part and has as much chance of advancing as anyone in the show. Coming from me, that's a mouth full. One point; compared to the SW16 team they've already shown that losing one player isn't going to shorten their run.

I just want to see a FF in my lifetime.
Anything after that is possible.

Ditto. Time is running out for this old fart. Seen a lot of remarkable things in my 70 plus. Nothing would ice the cake better than a F4 or Natty before I go.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

It’s boring, but I have Gonzaga, Kentucky, Tennessee and Kansas in the Final Four.

The most positive post you've made in 4 years, maybe more.

If I seem negative at times it's the frustration of wanting to see Barnes do something special before I pass. I know he has it in him. And the big difference in my eyes this season is JJJ finally realizing who and what he is a taking that verbal leadership role that was Grant's back yonder. Oh and also finally playing to his potential. When he finally adds the 2 hand power stuff (ala the Admiral) to his rep he'll tear the house down.

 

[tennesseejoe]

Just show up and play your game Tennessee.

 

[Kicker82]

I would love to see nova lose before the sweet 16. They are a tough matchup for us in general because they play really good defense and can squeak out a low scoring game against us. I’ll be happy with elite 8 or better.

Did you not see JJJ's two-handed flush on the feed from Fulky? That there was a mad mad man going to the rim . . . and I loved every milli-second of it!

GO BIG DAMN ORANGE!

In my opinion, Arizona is the 2nd best team overall, and Villanova is the 2nd best 2 seed (can’t play Kentucky anyway). And Illinois is the best 4 seed.

I think our bracket is exceptionally difficult.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

ESPN Cleveland this morning (the countries most followed sports radio). making picks this morning.

"There are only like 10 teams that can win it all.. who?"

They start going through the list...

The producer "GIVE ME TENNESSEE."

everybody... OH GOOD CALL!

 

[INDEFENSE]

Wishful thinking? Hell, I don't know but I have Tennessee beating Gonzaga for all the marbles. Remember Chandler when he signed said he was here to win the SEC and the NCAA tourneys, one for one so far.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I'm calling at least an E8.

 

[SouthKnoxVol70]

I got Kentucky and Gonzaga playing , then Kansas and TN(only cause I’m a homer)
KY and KU in title game with KY winning .

 

[johnfnkelly]

I worry about Zona but there’s no guarantee they even make it to the elite 8. A lot of games to play.
