2024 SEC Tournament

[berryvol]

Missouri snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. Led most of the 2nd half.

I can’t believe they lost that game. Gates is awful, even for Missouri.

 

[apsuhead]

Great game to open the tournament. I’m here and this place is packed. Really surprised at this crowd, but it’s great.

The Preds sent out free ticket emails. I got 8 tickets for $6.55 total. That’s why is was packed! Great environment.

Yes, remember last season Gates was the best coach everyone was slobbering over him.
My, how the table has turned in 12 months.

Been wondering where all those folks disappeared to, saying how he was gonna be a problem…

 

[ColinS]

I could see Gates bouncing back. He has a good track record. I could also see this going completely south and Missouri on the coach hunt again a year from now.

 

[knoxvol52]

Kim English will be Head coach at Missouri within next 2 years.

 

[ptcarter]

Remember when they said the seedings were locked regardless of conference tournament play.

Do you think the lawsuit against the NCAA will have anything to do with how we are seeded? ESPN hates us too and Mark Richt has lost control. So many narratives.

He’s got a really good recruiting class coming in. He will get every opportunity to work with and develop those guys.

I admit I was pretty surprised by this season, but he has a lot of talent coming in next year. So, we’ll see how that plays out. But, yes, this year was awful even with the lack of talent on his roster.

I would hope not, because that shows the NCAA has taken it personal, but looking at the metrics, I dont see how the the Vols miss the 1 seed. If conference tournaments didn't matter then, they shouldn't matter now and if the Vols have to run themselves into the ground for 3 games just to get a 1 seed and happen to lose along the way, I would rather see the starters get some rest and coach work some different rotations. Rather see a well rested and motivated team entering the big dance.

Yep. We paid 75 cents per ticket through that promotion. But I don’t know how many of them were bought/available through that promo. Could’ve been the reason why, though.

PSA - Cheap Parking Option for those going this weekend … $5 at the Metro Courthouse/ Public Square Garage at 101 James Robertson Parkway. We parked there last night and it’s an easy walk to Bridgestone. It’s also very easy to exit and quickly get back to the interstate when you leave. I always park there for Titans games too. They were charging $40 last night at every spot along our walk to Bridgestone from there last night.

We will have another tough battle against Mississippi State tomorrow afternoon.

Losing 9x to the Mississippi schools in the SEC Tournament is unacceptable.

 

[volplaya8]

If Vols beat Msst tomorrow they will have beaten all Sec teams in same season…that will be a nice accomplish and feather in the cap for this team…how many times has Tennessee ever done this?

 

[NighthawkVol]

Two UT coaches have winning records in the SECT.

And the worst hire in UT basketball history, Wade Houston is one of them. Because sports are weird.

 

[Volfan1000]

South Carolina with an easy victory to survive and advance.

 

[Rockytop10nessee]

I hope we get KY in the championship. No way they are 50% from 3 again. They got lucky.

Same, I wanna go 2-1 against them. It’ll really chap their fans’ collective *******.

 

[Rockytop10nessee]

I used to be a Subway guy. But then found Firehouse Subs and Jersey Mikes. Like both of them better because Subway skimps on the meats.

Jersey mikes is my favorite! I buy their roast beef in bulk

In 1982 when there were 10x SEC teams, TN went 9-0 versus the others to start the SEC regular season.

Nice..so we have never done it since expansion…big game tomorrow for that purpose then…will be almost impossible with two new teams coming in going forward as well so this is our chance
