Given that Tennessee ended up with a 3 seed and given that a 3 has to go through a 2 seed (or somebody who knocks them off) to get to a regional final, I think the Vols are exactly where I would choose if I could set up a draw. Given the choice of UNC, Duke, Purdue and Cincinnati as the 2's, I choose the Bearcats. No offense to them. I just think UT will match up better with them than any of the other three choices, despite the win against Purdue (motivation for the Boilermakers) and the solid, but losing, performance against the Tar Heels.
Call me crazy but, if the Vols keep their focus and no one gets hurt or in foul trouble, I think UT plays UVa in the South Region final.
Agreed with the foul on three pointer the other night but people literally bounce off of Grant and he gets a foul call. I guess we haven't watched the same games this season but Grant gets garbage foul calls strictly on his size. Hell he fell down trying to get a rebound the guy fell on top of him and Grant got called for a foul. I agree with bowden but that's completely incorrect imo.
Last time I remember us playing Virginia we beat the snot out of them. I think by 40 points?
VolPack, you're absolutely right that we beat them soundly since the game I was referencing. My weak effort at a fun defensive reference was to the game in Charlottesville in December of 2012 (a testament to my advancing age!) that we lost 46-38 just a week after losing to Georgetown 37-36. Now those were some defensive struggles! Those games were excruciatingly hard to watch! :mf_surrender:
