Hell of a run

[vanillagorilla]

Tough game tonight, but the vols won 19 straight held the #1 spot for over a month and went 80 something days without a loss. We just witnessed history. Lot of ball left to play and this team has a real shot at a final 4 run. Go Vols!!

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Here here! Go Vols!

 

[GBO97]

The streak may over, but our run isn’t. We comin back skrong

 

[lostsheep]

Agree. Tough loss, but this team will bounce back.

 

[allvolinky]

Where do we end up in rankings on Monday?

 

[SCVol2018]

I guess #3, most likely with no first place votes

 

[vanillagorilla]

Where do we end up in rankings on Monday?

I'm thinking 4 possibly 5

 

[LittleCat]

The best teams lose rarely, and when they do it only makes them better. UT will be just fine. Barnes has a great group of kids playing together.

 

[CAVPUT]

Where do we end up in rankings on Monday?

I'm going to say #6 at best and we could end up 8th.

 

[Dougie_D]

1. Duke
2. Gonzaga
3. Virginia
4. Kentucky
5. Michigan
6. Tennessee

I'm thinking 5th.

 

[ZZ13]

1. Duke
2. Gonzaga
3. Virginia
4. Kentucky
5. Michigan
6. Tennessee

I agree. But I swap Michigan with Nevada. Michigan lost to a crappy Penn State team this week.

 

[Matt2496]

We're going to destroy Kentucky at TBA.

 

[CTM]

We will be 3 on Monday

 

[Stoked]

1. Duke
2. Gonzaga
3. Virginia
4. Kentucky
5. Michigan
6. Tennessee

The same Michigan team that lost to one of the worst teams in the P5 Penn State?

 

[Stoked]

Imo...
Duke
Zaga
UVA
UK
UT

True, would explain Kentucky losing to UT in football

 

[mrmax86]

Where do we end up in rankings on Monday?

1. Duke (unanimous)
2. Tennessee
3. Gonzaga
4. Virginia
5. Kentucky

Everyone else.

 

[mrmax86]

What're y'all smoking putting us 5th or below? 4th is the absolute furthest we could fall, but we have the tiebreaker over Gonzaga, and are ranked far ahead of Virginia in votes. UK still has 4 losses and also went 1-1 this week.

 

[Iam4utalways]

I’ve seen us play better(Open shots falling.). Play bad and lose, I’m not upset.

What were Ky’s numbers. Did they have a bad game too?

 

[PandamoniumReigns]

Pretty sure all the writers at ESPN had an "O" knowing that their Dukies will be #1 again.

 

[VOLnMiami]

I'm thinking 5th.

I doubt very seriously we drop that far...We drop to 3rd at the very least IMO...Duke will be #1, Gonzaga probably #2 and then UT

 

[JoAllan]

Terrible game, great run, still a great season

I’ll say 3rd on Monday.

UK responded well after the way the LSU game ended. They squared up and for the first time all year UT flinched.

Be interesting to see how UT responds. Been awhile since they just got beat up and whipped.

It's been 4 terrific weeks! I'm very proud and excited about this team! Being #1 at this time of the year is tough! Everybody we play has every thing to gain and nothing to lose and we still won 19 in a row. Coach will remind them how they got there and what we will have to do to back there. These are great, coachable kids that will make a long run in the tournament. Some times a tough loss can motivate a hungry, expierenced basketball team so I'm looking for a great finish! This team can do it!!!
