virgina is making us look good.

Our starting five scored 81 points against Virginia's defense. Before the game the announcers were raving about how effecient and good their defense was and they didn't know what to do. Richardson 20 pts, McRae 21 pts, Stokes 20, Barton 14, Maymon 6. Who do you guard when everyone's making it? It was one of those games where Tennessee's offense was flowing well because we were hitting the shots. Kind of like today.

I said they were a solid team that was a NCAAT team, I was told continually they wouldn't be a top 50 win or NCAAT team.

One game doesn't make a teams season, they're a perfect example.

In all fairness. Virginia had lost to Green Bay and got steam rolled by a Vol team two games removed from a home loss to NC State and previously lost to UTEP.

The Virginia team we rolled is not the same team that beat Cuse today.

That said, the Vol team that played today is the same team that rolled Virginia. We just haven't been that team consistently.

Just for the record, Green Bay is having a great season and they're 24-5. Barely beat Virginia and almost beat Wisconsin (69-66). Green Bay's SOS and win/loss is enough to get them in the tournament.

Not sure if you've checked Keifer Sykes out or not. This guy is a special PG. Just check out his stats for yourself.

One win doesnt make a teams season, but several bad losses SHOULD define a coaches career.

UVA is a great won for us, possibly our only hope to carry us into the NCAAT. Unfortunately, we're arguably the worst loss on their schedule.

Fwiw I don't think Green Bay gets in unless they win the horizon league tournament

If they play like they did against virginia the sky is the limit for this team.. But if they play like they did against Texas am then well...

I'd like to be optimistic, but none of this makes Cuonzo a coach who's going to get better as he goes along.

I think they will be a team to steal a bid if the don't make the tournament. Kind of like MTSU. If Green Bay won out and lost in the tournament I guarantee they'll get in or play to get in.

Well no bracketologist agrees with that, so you're all alone on that one.

Stephen F. Austin is 27-2 and could get left out of the tournament if they don't win their conference tournament.

Look at Green Bay's Non-conference schedule. It's good. Almost beat Wisconsin, beat Virginia (which is a huge win for us, big win for them too), and they played at Harvard. Bracketology isn't always right, especially when stuff like this happens and a conference steals a bid. MTSU was 25-4 and lost in the Sun Belt finals and still got a bid for the tournament. Bad SOS, good RPI. Green Bay has a good SOS and a decent RPI.

Lunardi and those guys said MTSU could be a bid stealer, they've remained adamant green bay isn't. Look at MTSU RPI compared to green bays.

Being a Green Bay season ticket holder, I don't think the Phoenix get in unless they win their conference tournament. Their RPI isn't that great and a loss to Cleveland State or someone in the Horizon League Tourny would really hurt their RPI. Also, the Harvard game was neutral site and they also got their rear ends kicked by E. Michigan. I just don't see them making it in, the Horizon was too bad this year.

there has never been a team milk a win more than we are right now with Va. We wouldn barely be on the bubble without that one win, imo.

On the flip side you trade the Virginia win for an average win, and take away 2 bad A&M losses and we wouldn't be on the bubble either.

If we hadn't lost to UTEP, NC St., and T A&M twice, there would be no bubble discussion. There would just be a discussion about what seed we're gonna be, what region, etc., IMO.
