2014’s most likely Cinderellas

Pittsburgh Panthers among top 10 potential Giant Killers - NCB - ESPN

1. Pittsburgh
2. Southern Miss
3. Tennessee

Absurdly enough, Tennessee appears to be just on the right side of the bubble, though they are the No. 20 team in the country, according to our basic power rankings. The Vols have had their ups and downs, but many of the ups have been blowout wins -- which are hard to rack up when you average just 65 possessions per game -- while most of the downs have been close losses to good teams, and silly RPI, which doesn't incorporate margin of victory, punishes them as a result. Jeronne Maymon and Jarnell Stokes each grab a huge 15 percent of possible offensive rebounds while they're on the floor, tied for 15th among all NCAA players. And Tennessee's team rate of 40.3 percent (fourth-best in the nation) will keep them in games against anyone.

4. Stephen F. Austin
5. Louisiana Tech
6. Minnesota
7. Oklahoma State
8. Harvard
9. Dayton
10. Eastern Kentucky

I like.

 

[Hacksaw]

So why am I expecting another disappointment?

Oh, yeah...history.

Hate to be negative, but I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[ManningBerry#1]

I hope all of this build up of this team doesn't let us down as history would portray.

If we are the Cinderella team in the tourney and we advance pretty far, then maybe other schools will come calling for Martin.......

He leaves on his own accord, and Hart replaces him with Pearl........

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

Shouldn't some one mention "history" in this thread and how it dooms us?

How would you like to be the one-seed that looks down on Sunday and sees Oklahoma State sitting there as the nine-seed in their bracket?
Sheesh.

...and you wake up the next morning to Kate Upton giving little Rudy a "how's your father," followed by breakfast in bed and a trip to Monaco where y'all gamble away your lottery winnings. Cause the chances of that are basically equal to what you are describing.
:crazy:

 

[orangeluvr]

Let's go Vols ! :clapping:

You do realize that I was joking???? I know that Pearl will never return to coach here.....

Just joking with that last post. That post was for all of the "bring back Pearl" fans.

Roger - sorry for crushing your dreams related to Monaco, then. Thought you were either trolling or feeding one.
