Me too! So many newcomers, and a new system has me excited.

Absolutely. I'm looking forward to jumping out on teams again, rather than playing catch up.

I'm not looking forward to doing without Jarnell ripping down dang near everything that come off the rim. But CDK's teams have rebounded well in the past as a unit, so hopefully that continues. I also think this team will be a better overall 3 pt shooting team than last years. And if we can turn teams over, here and there in our press, we will surprise some teams.

So how many wins does everyone think this team gets? Is this a NCAA tournament team?

Hard to tell this early but I honestly don't expect them in the tourney this year. Too many unknowns. I think they'll surprise a lot of people but will struggle to get 18 wins. If a couple step up that we don't expect (I'm talking to you Dom) then we could win 20 and be a bubble team. Regardless I think this will be a fun team to watch. No true point gaurd will likely hold us back some.

Lack of a pg will hold us down a bit. I think 16 wins is about right.

16 wins and trip to the NIT

 

[mtt2d]

15 wins with an 8-10 sec record. The
Vawls probably finish around tenth place in the sec.

Looking forward to this season.

50/50 chance IMO. I'm 75% sure we either make it or we don't.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

I think we make the tourney, but I doubt we will make the tounrey, I would say it's 50/50 right now, but I just about guarantee we will make it.

Lol I admit it sounds stupid sounded better In my head

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Hard to imagine this team in the tourney, but the season hasn't started yet. I wouldn't bet on it. I'm excited regardless, as I am every season.

Ala politician, I think we'll win some games this season.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I can't believe the season starts in less than a month.

I'm not expecting much; I just want to beat UK, Vandy twice, Auburn, Florida, and every other SEC team and all our non-conference games and win the SEC, SECT, and the NCAAT.

That's all.
