Y'all just played Auburn and Florida back to back.

It's highly likely that even if you win the national championship, you're not going to play two more difficult games back to back.

You may not see a team the whole tournament that has that kind of personnel or can do what those teams can do.

Anybody thinking UF can’t win the Natty is crazy. UF is good.

It's all about matchups. Some are better than others. Flordia is a tough match-up for pretty much everyone.
We are right there in the top 4, IMO.
* If everyone shows up and contributes we should have a good shot at a final 4.
From there, I'm not sure. Heart says we are capable but brain says probably not for a title.
Won't stop me from rooting for one, tho!
Go Vols!

Solid and informed point. I think you guys should be the pre-tournament favorite. Of course, in the one and done crapshoot, silliness and off nights are the killer. I'm being redundant here, but the NCAA needs to go to a best 2 of 3 from the Sweet 16 to the championship series. It's not an issue in regards to academics

My money right now is UF to cut the nets. What yall have done these past couple of weeks is nothing short of amazing.

I try not to get too excited as it's a set up for disappointment. But, they played 6 games against Auburn, Tennessee, and Alabama. All very different teams.

They won 5 of them and only one was a home game.

On top of all that, none of those 5 wins were down to the wire kind of games. I just don't know what other team in the country was/is good enough to pull that off.

A mid major on a heater can spoil any real contender when it's one game. That's why the tournament is almost BS for determining a true, best team, national champion

Florida has the look of the past couple of UCONN teams that won the whole thing.

They can be beat, but I think it will take another team's great performance plus a less than good one for Florida to be beat.

The thing about FL, although they only lost 4 games all year which is obviously very impressive, is that their losses haven’t been necessarily gritty, down to the wire battles. They were breakdown games nobody saw coming. Losing to Mizzou at home, getting pounded by Georgia by 27 at one point and ultimately losing, getting pounded by 20 by Tennessee who had 2 starters out. What is suggests to me is that they are susceptible to a breakdown, head scratcher loss about once every 8 games on average. They’ve now won 6 straight, so I don’t see it as very likely that they can win 6 more, which is what they’d need to win it all. Write it down, they will almost definitely game-fart in their 2nd or 3rd matchup.

I wonder if we’ll see as many upsets as we’ve had in the past since many of the better mid-major players have moved on to major programs through the portal. Seems there are fewer players at that level that can carry a team down the stretch in a close game.

I think the tourney committee agreed, and kept us out of their vicinity.
