Welp. Close the thread. No need for more discussion.

😂 that’s part of the discussion. Carry on.

Ok we will just take you word for it!NOT! What happened to Kentucky????Man, Auburn may win but Please nothing is a sure thing. The Vols are capable of beating auburn folks saying they have no chance make me even feel better about it. In basketball anything can happen and we have proved we can play with anyone on any given day or night. GBO!

Well when I made that prediction , Kentucky didn't have their best shooting Guard out, and hadn't lost the next best, in game. TENN does continue to surprise, and seeing Auburn lose at Florida bodes well for the Vols' chances. I always find that If I am Objectionable, I usually am pleasantly surprised. Best way for me to make it through the season with my sanity.

Grady is their best shooting guard and he played

Circa odds for SECT winner - will probably bet Arky. Great number on them for how well they’ve been playing lately.

Thank you so much...... UK did have one of their best players out, and lost another in game. Position error on my part.

TyTy Washington and Sahvir Wheeler, both guards, missed UK’s weekend game vs Bama.

1. Kentucky was not missing any guards against Tennessee. Washington got hurt mid game, but they were full strength outside of that.
2. You initially said they would beat us because of their front court. Why move the goalposts after the game?

The one positive to a 4 seed IMO is that we’d likely get our chance to revenge our loss in Tuscaloosa as they’re the projected 5 seed. And I’d rather play on Auburn’s side of the bracket than UK.

 

[Vollifer1949]

How are we favored to beat Auburn? They will run us out of the gym with their athleticism.

I would much rather play Auburn over Kentucky or Arkansas right now.

If we go 3-0 and Auburn & UK both lose another game we would get 1st place if my math is correct…

I think so with a 3-way tie.
TN > Aub
TN = KY
Aub > KY

TN (2-1)
KY (1-2)
Aub (1-1)

We would technically split the regular season championship with AU (and maybe UK) in that case, but get the #1 seed in the SECT.

Right yea, that’s what I was meaning by 1st place.

 

[BallerVolFan]

Only way that happens is if Auburn slips up at Miss St because there’s zero chance they lose to Ole Miss or USCjr at home. I think we’ll be jockeying for the 2 seed with UK and Arkansas. If the 1 seed is out of the picture, the next best case scenario is for us to go 3-0 and Arky beat Kentucky. That would make us the 2 seed, UK the 3 seed, and Arky the 4 seed. Wouldn’t it be nice if UK were to somehow lose 2 more games and us not have to face Auburn or UK until the tourney championship game. Wishful thinking.

 

[RockyTop140]

This is a dumb argument for me to take… but I’m about 1000% sure if you have Barnes the Suns or the Grizzlies we’d win by 20+.

It wouldn’t even be that close. An nba team could hold a college team to 30 points if they really tried.

Would prefer to see Miss State jump LSU for that 6 seed. Very possible given their remaining schedules.

LSU plays at UK, Mizzou, at Arkansas, Bama
MSU plays at USCe, Vandy, Auburn, at aTm

Given our history, it's hard to be excited/hopeful for this tourney. Hopefully I'm just being needlessly jaded.

TN has been very close 2 times recently. And they have a team this year that can beat any of the other 13.

If they played the tourney in TBA I’d be more optimistic, but some year we will buck the trend and maybe this is the year!

That's my one shred of optimism I'm hanging onto - we're due for it. Freaking 1979, man.
