Vols back to a #1 seed in ESPNs bracketology

#4

Joe's between a rock and a hard place right now. Two of his Blue Bloods not looking like one seeds right now without their Big Boys. Duke eking out wins and KY without Travis. Could we get a little sympathy for Mighty Joe?

Selfishly I want the 2 seed in the South. Columbus is 3 hours from me and Louisville is 45 min.

And currently he has UK in this spot. Their fans would love this. They'll easily sell out for Columbus and Louisville. He has Duke as the 1 seed. Not sure how that's fair for them? They'd be playing in front of a sold out UK crowd.

I like the bracket if this was the bracket that started the tournament today. Only school I think that COULD give us a nice little push would be Syracuse if they were having an "on night." Other than that I think we'd have a smooth ride to the elite 8 with the match-up with UNC, whom I believe (if we're playing like we have past 3 games) we'd take down to reach the final four...........I say we go with the Lunardi bracket as it is now!!!

We do not want any part of Syracuse's 2-3 zone. They could easily send us home early. We struggle against the zone and they're one of the best zone teams in the country. We'd have to be hot from 3.

Man I never want to run into Syracuse in the tourney. A defense we rarely see that’s designed to smother undersized F & C . You can’t just keep shooting outside jumpers because it plays right into their hands
Do NOT want

I don't believe early round locations are decided based on regional brackets. Tennessee could play in Columbus without being in the South Region, as I understand it.

Took Kentucky’s spot on the one line. Guess Lunardi finally felt the pressure to back off the blue blood juice.

And again, there is no justification for the switch. UK won and Tennessee won. If UK was a 1 seed before that game Tuesday, and Tennessee was a 2 seed, what possibly has changed his mind since then? Conversely, Tennessee beat UK H2H on Saturday, but he made no switch and even defended it on Monday. His brackets are a joke.

I think we've earned the #1 seed.

If I was Zion I would never play another game for Duke, I'd be getting healthy and ready for the NBA.

I also hope we play close to home so we can load the gym with Big Orange and show the world how well our fans travel.

VFL...GBO!!!

Honestly who cares what seeds were listed at now, we still have Auburn and the SEC tournament focus on it after those are done

You saying there’s a chance I could come in off the couch on Saturday, coach?! You’re right, I’ll get right on breaking down AU film and practicing my jumper. I’ve got two years of eligibility left, I won’t miss my time to shine this time around!

Based on what? Do LSU's troubles weigh on his bracket? That's the only thing that's changed in the last day.

Every time I think of UT versus Syracuse I get visions of Louis Orr and Roosevelt Bouie sending us home in the NCAA tourney
