Stay tuned, all of you are gonna be surprised at last. By the way, the Bucs just moved to #71 in the RealTimeRPI rankings just behind Wichita State at #70.I'll be there. I should be easy to spot - I'm wearing my "F" Donnie Tyndall shirt

Chuckling at the fact the Bucs are 17-2 at home the last two years losing only to UNCW and Chattanooga, mid-major powerhouses. The crowd will be 80% Buc fans. Their high school gym is now the showcase of the Southern Conference. Standing room only Thursday night. There will be a lot of pressure on the young Vols. Hope they can keep it close.

Has it ever occurred to you That Barnes didn't want Stokes or Stokes didn't want UT? If you spent a little less time stalking DT you might know this.When we are no longer 14th in the SEC in recruiting like we are for the 2017 class, I might be a little happier, Joe. You don't win championships like that. Letting a fellow named Stokes sign with Florida is dropping the ball in my opinion.

KenPom has Tennessee #81 and ETSU #82 should be interesting. Playing in the high school gym in Maui should prepare these guys for the high school gym at ETSU.
I was there too, and I've never heard the minidome referred to as "cozy". As a matter of fact, I've never heard 1 person say anything good about it as a basketball facility.I went to school at ETSU back in the 80's when Les Robinson was head coach and they lost to Oklahoma and Mookie Blaylock in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. One of ETSU's best players was Keith Jennings and I remember watching basketball games at the Mini dome which was a cozy arena. The ETSU campus is very nice and I remember doing some gigs at the campus radio station as a news reader and staying at Cooper Hall.
Those were some good times.
Just the facts, mam!
ESPN's Daily RPI has ETSU at 71 and Tennessee at 124.
Tennessee's starting lineup consists of 1 senior, 1 5th year senior, 1 sophomore, and 2 freshman while ETSU's consists of 2 seniors, 2 5th year seniors, and a junior with the 2 seniors and the junior all having All Conference accolades of one form or another. Oh, year, a first and second team Juco All-American come off the bench. Just hope the Baby Vols can keep it close.
Double duh! Dayton's KenPom rating is #40 and UNCW#53 and those were away games. Weird rating systems. How Tennessee is #82 and ETSU#83 while the ESPN Daily RPI has ETSU #71 and Tennessee #124 is beyond me. I guess that system poopoos the mid-majors!Just hope the Vols keep it close? UNC-Wilmington beat them by 10, Dayton by 14. They're only good win was vs Mississippi State and they're not very good.
