Scout.com pegs UT #6 in HOOPS.

[tidwell]

Wasn't UT ranked pretty highly in the 2000/2001 pre-season polls?

 

[TennesseeFan07]

I think at one point they were ranked in the top 5 and were around 10th in the preseason.

 

[getyopopcornready]

yea and then as soon as we lose half a game we drop halfway through the polls

I think the hightest they got was #4. I don't remember preseason.

That team was coached by Jerry Green. No squad led by that mental cripple should have ever been rated in the top 10.

 

[getyopopcornready]

yea thats when we had Isaih Victor and i remember that we were ranked number 4 but we lost to Virginia the first night we were ranked there, and we stayed around the 8-13 range for the rest of the season and lost to UNC in the second round after having them up like we had OSU this year :banghead2:

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Wan't the UNC loss in the sweet 16?

 

[getyopopcornready]

it may have been, it was either the second round or the 16, all i kno is we blew the game

 

[TennesseeFan07]

We did blow it.

 

[emainvol]

It was the Sweet 16.

When we lost to UNC, I was ticked. A couple fun facts about who we would have faced:

1) We would have played Tulsa, which sounds easy, but they killed us earlier in the season.

2) Tulsa was coached by? You guessed it, Buzz Peterson.

Bill Self was the coach at Tulsa then.

Oh - when was Buzz the coach there, if ever?

 

[VolinArizona]

Laying the smack down. :rock:

He was merely correcting my mistake. He wasn't laying any smack down.

He was there for one season, the year before he came to UT.
