It’s a frigging tournament. The ranking doesn’t mean ****. Go out and win or go home. They play the first day, so yes. If they lose then it was a correct evaluation. Only one way to prove your detractors wrong and fan bitching isn’t it.
That's pretty much what was said when Tenn won the 1998 National Championship in football. They were in shock. They thought for sure that was a fluke of some kind for Tenn to be Champions in football.
Did you guys hear the sound of 5,000 ESPN employee's anuses reopening at the same time on that missed tip in by UCF? It was kind of like a pooooph in the background.
Talking heads have to have something to keep folks clicking those links. They know as much about the outcome of this tournament as the rest of us. Anybody who has paid any attention to our guys this season knows the potential to win it all is there. But that potential exists for every team. I am so proud of our guys for what they have already accomplished. ESPN can go jump in a lake.
