It may have been good for us if Ole Miss had gotten trounced, but I'm not sure it affects our chances of getting in one way or another now, do some of you agree? I think regardless of what happened in this game, it was still going to come down to a coin toss between us and MTSU, do you think?

Considering MTSU beat Ole Miss it really hurts us.

No reason LaSalle should be ahead of us at this point. ..we really needed Florida to win but I think we will sneak in....less than three hours!

Ole miss was likely in despite their win. .. can't stand Henderson but that dude can make a game exciting to watch

Ole Miss was in regardless. It's gonna come down to whether or not they feel Tennessee is more deserving than MTSU, and personally, I feel we are. But it's not up to me. I'm still upset, that with so much on the line, Tennessee came out flat. They didn't play with intensity or any sort of motivation against Bama. They looked like a lost, and uninspired team. Sometimes I feel like Martin is a great coach, and other times I don't. We're an inconsistent team, and that's something that has continued from last year up to now! I know we haven't been completely healthy this year, but when Tennessee plays with a chip on their shoulder, they can beat anybody. And when they don't show up, they can be beat by anybody. That's the problem.

I'm not so sure we are "more deserving". We knew that the GA game was a necessary win. We knew that we had to beat Bama to make it in. One fault of CCM is that he has difficulty getting this team up for big games away from TBA. Other than the FL win last year, I can't think of another "big" road or neutral court win.

It's our own fault that a decision has to be made between us and MTSU. Hope the comment isn't made in the selection committee that pretty much the same 2 teams played last year and MTSU put us out of the NIT.

Of all the damn luck, I'm afraid that Ole Miss winning hurts, not because of the bid (I think they were already in) but because it makes MTSU look better

I wouldn't think it would make a difference. Supposedly all the decisions about bubble teams were already made last night.

This is where the last night thing comes in. If they had ole miss out they knew who they were pulling for ole miss...if they were already in the rest of the field was set, they weren't deciding MTSU or UT depending on the outcome of that game IMO.

I don't like his attitude either, but I'm going to enjoy watching him get under the skin of teams from the other conferences :loco:

I agree that the Bama game was a must win either way, but if you compare resumes, Tennessee has notable wins while MTSU has none. That's why I feel we're more deserving. Plus we were one of the hottest teams in college basketball going into the SEC tournament. I just feel like we're more suitable, but we shouldn't have to be worrying about making it in. We should have taken care of business against Bama, and made sure we made it in.
