Wofford is the team that UT would play on a Wednesday night in December before Christmas. UT got the lesser of the 15 seeds in the tournament, IMO.

Lofton had to hit a shot at the buzzer last time we played them, I believe. Having said that, we win by 20+

Are you thinking of Winthrop?

Not a good look at all. I was curious about the excuse for the injury.

When people start discussing committee decisions, this is why some have no faith in them. The committees are made up of AD's or people tied to the very schools they are associated with. Just the mere fact that Cunningham is the AD at UNC can influence what the rest of the committee decides. It's simply about ratings and the almighty dollar, and we continue to lose integrity in sports.

Well who do you think should make up the Committees? Since you believe no AD's or individuals tied to other schools. There's not much to choose from ..

Since everyone is discussing seeding today, I have a thought.

1). Have committee meet and rank criteria for selecting teams.

2). List all teams / records / data committee is looking at for their criteria.

3). Remove the team names and then build your brackets. Enter Auto qualifiers first and then those deserving based on committee criteria.

4). Reapply team names to their records/data.

You have your bracket.

Eliminates bias.

Ben Joyce makes Angels Opening Day roster and looks like Moore will start out in Minor league. Probably Double A then in Big League by June.

Dollander in Triple A and Drew Gilbert in Triple A ...

Trey Lipscomb on Nationals Opening Day roster..

Methinks those LSU, Andy, and Arky trolls are losing the narrative of Tony producing big leaguers. It was only a matter of time anyway. Let’s count the lost troll narratives:

• Can’t produce big leaguers
• Little league park
• Can’t win the conference
• Can’t win in Omaha
• No championship rings
• #1 overall can’t win the natty

The list goes on. Tony don’t care, and we’re blessed for it.

That was Winthrop, another mid major in South Carolina. That was where Gregg Marshall started.

We beat Wofford by 21 points last year.

There's a difference between a badly officiating game impacting us and "the fix is in"

I'm not disputing anything you're saying, but a proper fix is a completely lopsided whistle which against Florida I didn't really feel like we got. I think both teams got called for a lot of fouls and just as many that were missed. It benefited them because they're a lot deeper than us.

It was a good SECT for us though, the amount of foul calls should give us some stuff to work on so we can try and avoid having the same issue in the big tournament.

It's not about whether it was lopsided or not...it was about the fact that everybody involved with CBB knows that if you don't let us play tight defense...we are probably not going to win, especially against a team like Florida.

It was a garbage move, and it was obvious from the very start that they were not going to let us play.

The only way we were going to win that game is if we had gotten a team offensive performance like the Mizzou game...and we are not built to do that very much.

We will probably lose the first game in the tournament in which we run into a really good scoring team, and they neuter our defense by calling it tight...a bunch of ticky tack like yesterday that forces us to play softer.

I think it was on purpose...and I said right before the game started that we would know within the first few minutes if they were going to let us play defense or not...and that if they did not we would get run.

We need more depth and more guys that can score to win games like that...and we do not have either this year.

There is a streaker in there somewhere.

Not for me to figure out, but anyone on the committee whose compensation is tied up in the decisions is clearly an issue.

There are a few mid major conference commissioners. AD's at mid major schools whose conferences will only get one bid. Maybe recently retired coaches who aren't in the media. I hate to even suggest it, but there are a few media members who live and breath it.

Bracket should be a cruise to an elite 8. Easiest overall draw I’ve seen as a vol fan ever. Kentucky ain’t making it past round 2 but even if they do, they aren’t that good and hell would freeze before they beat the same team 3 times. Neither second round opponent exactly put fear in me. Houston is by far the best matchup for 1 seeds besides Auburn for us (which was never gonna happen anways) But that’s not how March works always, can’t get caught slipping

Nothing is ever easy

[tnhunter 10]

Well deserved

 

[JCVol00]

Honestly, I think the ncaa should’ve never allowed juco players to get an extra year of eligibility in football or basketball like Pavia. However, they should make it across the board if they’re going to do it, not just fb and bball and exclude baseball players like berto

 

[MemphisVol3]

Nothing is ever easy

Yeah after the 1st round, I always look at it like Round of 32 (semblance of a top 25 team), Sweet 16 (semblance of a top 15 team), Elite 8 (Top 10 team), so on and so forth. Not saying that's where that team was ranked in the polls necessarily, but the type of game/matchup it is.

I wouldnt watch this at work, or around kids, animals, or Shire folk.

Grandma dont gaf.

I like the one where he has a bunch of dvd movie cases made with her picture on them and sets them on walmart shelves. Pretty funny when he takes her in and she starts seeing them.
