3 seed is indefensible…shame on selection committee!!

[volman128]

CAKEWALK was not my term. 12 points = ahead by 6 and padding at the foul line.

Yes but it was my point that you were responding to.

 

[opvolfan]

We went 4-2 against the top 8 seeded teams. Plus beat a high ranked team twice that went into Kansas and whooped them. Committee did a bad job seeding us. But it’s ok. I think it will motivate this team even more.

 

[AthensVol2007]

So which team is a two, and which is a 3? Left or right?

Their name is Duke though.

 

[AthensVol2007]

How the SEC teams in the NCAAT fared against each other:

LSU 2-8
UT 5-4
UK 4-5
Bama 4-4
Ark 6-2
AU 3-3

You can’t make predictions but I find it hard to believe AU wins the league with a more balanced schedule. They were 1 game better than the #2 team who played 3 more games vs the top 6 SEC teams.

 

[MeanOrange]

Glad we got screwed. Get the Vols pissed and ready to tear a new one all the way to the FF.

 

[aWhiteLoftonChism]

They beat Arkansas and Auburn.

Made it to the SEC Championship game.

They deserved to be in

Over Michigan and Rutgers for sure!! it’s a joke

 

[TheBigOne10]

Glad we didn’t get the 2 seed in the South honestly, I would rather have Michigan/Colorado State than Loyola Chicago or Ohio State in Rd 2

 

[aWhiteLoftonChism]

Agreed just start playing cupcakes in the non-conference schedule from now on.

Might as well play 14 Quad 2 teams and go 13-1/14-0 before SEC schedule. None of it mattered. Not the UNC, Zona, Texas, Tx Tech, Or winning SEC tourney. Not a single bit

 

[LibertyVol]

Absolutely we beat KY 2 times, Arizona and Auburn. I guess quality wins really don't matter, Total hose job but is anyone really surprised.

Tennessee is the best team in the SEC. Tennessee had the best record. Do not understand their thinking. A&M got hosed too.

 

[LibertyVol]

I totally agree...Thats some serious crap there.

I think it is about TV markets etc. I am ok with that if you let everyone know that is what is going on.

 

[LibertyVol]

YEP! Put bammer in over A&M!!

They both should have been in.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

This is UT. We should be used to getting screwed. I really hope we make them eat crow.

Been making them eat crow all season. No better time than now to make a deep run. This team has all the pieces in place and actually plays cohesively as a single unit. Been a while since we could say that.

Hate the seed. But the bracket is winnable.

 

[LibertyVol]

So if A&M wins today vs UT, A&M Gets; IN, and UT is STILL A 3 ? A&M Got Jobbed worse than Tennessee, and Tenn definitely got jobbed. Bama over A&M? JOKE!

Tn should have forfeited. Better off for the league. A&M gets in and Tennessee gets the same seeding. Makes no sense.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

I completely get your point and A&M got hosed, but f*** the league. This championship means a lot.

 

[LibertyVol]

Of course it does. I was being sarcastic. I hate it for A&M. They deserve to be in. Conference tournaments should matter in seeding.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Of course it does. I was being sarcastic. I hate it for A&M. They deserve to be in. Conference tournaments should matter in seeding.

Yep. If conference tournaments don't matter when it comes to seeding, then teams who are sure to get an at large bid in the NCAAT shouldn't even bother showing up.

 

[VolFan4life24]

Inexcusable for auburn and Especially Kentucky to be ahead of us in seeding after we beat them

 

[I4Vols]

I blame Sankey

bama ass kisser

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

With all of the lies, is there any doubt that refs are instructed to keep games close for ratings instead of allowing superior teams to execute their beat downs on lesser opponents? It’s all about the money. Specifically the money going to coaches and administrators.

 

[LibertyVol]

Yep. If conference tournaments don't matter when it comes to seeding, then teams who are sure to get an at large bid in the NCAAT shouldn't even bother showing up.

Just ask Joe DA which SEC teams are in and let the rest of the teams play to see who gets an automatic bid.

 

[jim pique]

It is all preordained.Doesn't matter what you do,Duke gets blown out,doesn't win conference,but, still is a 2seed because a dinasaur is retiring.Ncaa BS at its best.Go Vols.

 

[allvol123]

Not paying attention to all this seeding stuff. But giving UT a 3 is indefensible.

 

[YankeeVol]

Not worthy of a 1 seed, but definitely a 2. Especially ahead of Kensucky or Auburn, even Dookie

 

[knox73]

Boys get over it, celebrate the SEC tourney win. our bracket is ok. If Vols can maintain their momentum from this past week, they can beat anyone. Nova is a sound well coached team that shoots free throws well. They aren’t deep so depth could be an issue. The exciting season continues and this just may be the year for Brother Barnes!!!

 

[djohnnyg]

Duke is WEAK...period. They can't shoot 3s....or free throws to save their lives and Banchero is waaaay overrated. Coach K has done a legendary job there....but they ain't in the same universe as some of the great Duke teams of the past.
