Will Gators do the Vols a solid tonight?

[DNBVOL]

Tennessee will get an SEC Championship Banner with a win over Auburn and that's fine with me

I really dont understand that. LSU won the head to head. Same with Auburn last year

Yes, we intentionally lost a 1 point game in OT that would have gotten us into the tournament just so you couldn't be sure you'd get a regular season title, or share thereof.

sounds legit to me....thanks.

The Banner will say 2018-2019 SEC Champions and it will be the 2nd SEC Championship In a row for Tennessee. That's something that's never been done in Men's Basketball at Tennessee and I will be proud and happy about it.

The main reason is the teams don’t play a balanced schedule. For example we played KY twice and they only played them once. Based on that we probably had a harder SEC schedule.

I am sure they still did it when the conference was split into divisions, but the unbalanced schedule only makes it fair to have co-champs. Even though they beat us head to head, we don’t play the same schedule. They played Alabama, A&M, UGA, Arkansas, and UF twice. We played Vandy, USC, UF, Missouri, and UK twice. Playing UK twice is more difficult.

Edit: I was slower to type mine out than above poster.

Well if Vols do win SEC tourney, they’ll earn it. Gotta beat Ky and LSU back to back.

Frankly, the best two teams are Tennessee and Ky.

How? LSU has the tiebreaker. Are we going to pull a UCF?

 

[ShoNuff]

co-champs fine. but win the sec tourny and its solidified. besides, we are better and everyone knows it. life will go on.

There are no tiebreakers. Just like last season

Uhhh ok lol

Well said. No doubt our schedule was tougher. Let’s just win Sat and hang the banner.

Hoping Fl*rida wins at anything, only leads to bad things.
I only hate....yes hate .....two sports programs/teams. I can’t ever pull for them. Can’t

 

[BigBadVol]

I’m still pissed about the LSU game. They didn’t earn Shat, it was decided by a biased official with .6 SECONDS LEFT!

Is this your first year watching basketball?

Auburn had a much better argument last yr since they won in Knox. LSU won this yr in BR with their cheerleader as a referee

 

[Big Orange#1]

Uhhh ok lol

The schedules arent even man, Can't have tiebreakers count unless every SEC team played every single SEC team twice. LSU only had to play Tennessee and Kentucky 1 a peice, if not for that stroke of luck they would not be Co-champs with UT this year.

Did you not pay attention last year? Tiebreaker is only for SECT seeding. The SEC officially recognizes multiple teams as champion in the event of ties.

 

[PandamoniumReigns]

There are a lot of first time basketball fans this year. And they like to post..... A lot.

 

[FranklinVFL]

So, this week I have rooted for Alabama and Florida....both lost...now I have to root for Vanderbilt.

Makes me sick.

What's really makes me sick is that they all suck and can't beat anybody when you need them to.

Sorry, being a Vols fan has caused me to drink away most of my memory. Thank you for the clarification.

Nope. 2nd.

 

[alaVOL]

Close but no cigar Florida, thanks for nothing. We need to be focused because Pearl is a master at getting his team's motivated for a big game as an underdog. A win at Aubbie will get us a banner, so I'm hoping we stay focused because it will be a tough W to get. GBO!!!!!

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

To hell with Florida I still feel dirty for rooting for them last night

yeah, the only thing the head to head does is seeding in the SEC tourney.

Auburn and TN both hung a banner last year. if it ends with both of us with the same record, LSU and TN will hang a banner and LSU will be 1 seed, we'll be the 2. just like last year.
