What's everyone's plans for the game? I was going to go to BWW, but I'm thinking I might just call some wings in to go... Watch at at my apartment.

Don't want to cry in public if we lose...

numberFire has the game 71.4-71 UT.

Team Rankings has the game 72.3-70.3 Iowa.

TeamRankings has Iowa because they are higher in their PowerRanking (which I believe combines predictive ratings and result-based ratings). However, if you look at their predictive ratings, Tennessee rates higher.

The only predictive rating I've seen that has Iowa>Tennessee is Sagarin.

Man, I would love nothing more than to win this game tonight, smack UMass and then hop in the car with a few buddies and travel across the mountain into Raleigh on Sunday to watch the Vols play Duke.

I think this game could be tougher than the UMASS game (if we get there). Keep playing sound defense and we'll win.

It will be. Tonights game is essentially a toss up.

We'd probably be a 4 point favorite over UMass. KenPom would give us a 71% chance of winning that game. 72-67

Bruh I am straight up nervous as a mutha. This day is gonna take so long fo that 9:15 time to get here. Just hope these boys can keep that high level of playin rollin. Be motivated by losing a close one to the overall number 1 seed. I think if Barton shoots it well, we win goin away. if not, itll be close.

Am I the only one who felt really good about this game yesterday and now am really worried? I felt like we had been playing with a chip on our shoulder for a few weeks. Pearl was the "chip" meaning both team and Coach had taken it up a notch to show us what they could do. Now, the chip is removed and we could lapse back into the team we were in January? Hopefully, I am wrong, but I can't help but think there might have been a huge sigh of relief coming out of the Dayton locker room yesterday. We have to play with "edge" or we are going down.
