The Official Selection Sunday Thread

Then you have no idea.

Butler and Louisville are horrrrrrid matchups for us.

I have an idea and don't think Butler and Louisville are that bad for us. We should house Butler. Louisville is what it is. 2/3 matchups is the main reason yesterday hurt so badly.

How did our 2005-2006 team get a 2 seed if these guys were making the choices?

I think you've answered your own question.

I was sitting there thinking this must be a payback.

So who will be heading down to Birmingham??

 

[cibai]

Butler will be a tough game.

 

[Oldblood]

First game is Friday.

 

[volgolferarch]

Yep we definitely got screwed. But we are Tennessee, and therefore we always get screwed. We should be used to it by now...

And by the way, did anyone else notice the lack of orange our team showed. And happiness??? Though I don't blame them.

 

[VolinArizona]

Will be rooting hard for an Oklahoma upset of Louisville in the 2nd round.

BTW, Butler is a 4 or 5 seed now placed at 7

 

[TnBasketballFan]

miss st and oregon will be interesting

 

[johnnybravo]

Memphis might get beat by MSU

 

[erob3833]

anyone know what time we play friday?

 

[armchairvol]

Georgetown is a VERY good team--lost 5 games playing in a much better conference than the sec. Louisville is big and athletic but doesn't shoot very well--they are erratic, a bit like Memphis. Let's face it: In the dance you start playing good teams in game two. The 2s are texas, georgetown, duke and UT.

 

[volgolferarch]

Temple as a 12 seed- another team Tennessee beat by double digits...

 

[vol731]

After looking at butler for the last little bit, they don't look to really have a big guy, they have no one that sees playing time that is bigger than 6-8. also they have 7 guys that average double figures in minutes per game, and 4 guys that average more than 5 points per game, all of which average double figures. so it's not that bad i don't think

 

[HawaiiVol]

Memphis can get Texas in their home state...

 

[Volsguy12]

if they put duke as the 2 in the midwest...I'm gonna drive to the committee place and raise some hell

I know you have an idea, which is why I'm stunned at your reaction

 

[CardassianVol]

Butler will be a tough game.

No kidding. They killed us last year and this year they are a top 10 team... This selection committee watches too much ESPN.

 

[volgolferarch]

2 Texas v. 15 Austin Peay- Show your Peay-ness!!!

 

[Oldblood]

Wow, I bet Memphis is happy that Texas is in their region in Houston!!!

 

[XtennesseeX]

Wow. You've gotta be kidding. How do we end up being in conversation for a #1 seed, and get the last #2 seed with the #2 RPI, and #1 SOS. :no:

 

[volgolferarch]

Kentucky's In?!?!?!?

 

[erob3833]

ky will be beat by marquette!

 

[XtennesseeX]

... not to mention, as said before, the bottom half of the East Region is a joke.

 

[myrobbins7]

The South is stacked..
