No I am not talking about the game today.
I have moved on


I think we got a horrible draw for a 2 seed.
I think Cincy is damn good( the best team of the 6/7 seeds) and if we are lucky enough to advance the national champ awaits.

I hate the draw.


Make me feel better

New season everyone is 0 - 0 and anyone can beat anyone.

Does Mick Cronin has only made the Sweet 16 once make you feel any better?

Don't have to mess with Duke and Zion until the final game.

Everyone else in the field is beatable.

Climb down.

Great draw. Virginia is easy. Purdue is soft. We too nasty for them.

Columbus followed by Louisville. Cinny has no D, so that isn't too bad.

And we get to warm up with Colgate. Crest beat them in the regular season.

Hell, it’s not like the Vols haven’t lost in 2nd round before. You survived and will, most likely, survive this, if it happens again.

Stay positive. Maybe someone will start a petition...... just kidding

Not to mention it will be a " home" game for Cincy in Columbus, I'm petrified of that game

I bet the Cincinnati fans are loving that a Tennessee message board has gone crazy worrying about their team like they are the second coming of 1990 UNLV.

Turner found his shot for a game.


Tn is not in that bad of a bracket. Dickie V seems to think Tn is the team to beat in the South region. I know his brain cells are are slowly burning but he has faith in Tn. If the team is upset over the bracket then its their own fault.

Were you angling for a regional where we wouldn’t play anybody? Stay up there and balance on one leg so the rest of us can have some enjoyment.

I'll get flamed but it's okay lol.

Play Cinci in Ohio or the damn moon, doesn't matter. Our veteran team won't be phased by Cinci driving 5 minutes to play the game. I don't know that much about Cinci but their guys, like ours, log a ton of minutes. They don't appear to have much depth and are guard oriented. Our strength is the paint. Pound it inside, we win easy.

Nova? Maybe a little concern if they are on. I didn't think we would play a team that shot more 3's than Auburn.

Still...I think if Tennessee plays it's game, I love this bracket.

I have seen Cincinnati play and don't think they are anything special; not a bad team but very comparable to a team like Mississippi State (who we beat twice). I wouldn't worry about any so-called "home court" for them in Columbus. Cincy is not a rabid fan base - and there will be orange in the crowd as well as those who don't care either way and just want to watch March Madness. I like us to the Sweet 16 and from there it's Purdue or Villanova? It will be close but it's time to have some faith in our guys and enjoy the ride. This is exciting as hell... and for those of us who remember the end of the DeVoe and Houston years.... it's a reward for being patient.

Well just to talk you back on it, Colgate shoots 38% from 3 (23rd in the country). If we don't lose to them I see us losing to either Cincy in the 2nd round or Villanova in the S16.

Yea I don't worry about the home court advantage. I just think they are a tough good championship team.

I think they are the best 6 or 7 seed which means they got screwed with their seeding

To me when it come to the tourney every team has to play somebody so brackets does not mean nothing to me. If you are good then go out and prove it and everything else will take care of itself. Just think about other teams fans that are in the south region that sees Tennessee setting there and saying damn , we dont want to play them and we got screwed.
