It counts as a tourney win because if we lost we would no longer be in the tournament. I know thats a difficult concept for you to grasp.

Oh and btw, we will beat UMass. Grow some balls and GBO!

Happy for the coaches and the team. Any win in the Tournament is a good win. Survive and Advance. Now get on a plane to Raleigh and get some rest.

Go Vols!

If you were in the game thread you could tell that several posters wanted us to lose. Pathetic.

That's why I avoided it. Folks in there are very negative, and don't seem to understand that everyone makes runs in basketball.

No. But it sure was fun watching and exciting last half. This team and coaching staff may have mailed in a few games this year, it's hard to deny. With all the negativity on this board, you'd think this was the worst team to ever take the court. They're not. It is frustrating to see things finally gel at the end of a season but let's celebrate a great win.

This is the time of the season you want them to gel. GBO!

Your leverage left town BOP. You and Gramps will have to go drown yourselves at the pub.

Get to the tourney. Check.

Get a journey win. Check.

This was my minimum requirement this year, so the rest of the tourney is icing on the cake…though advancing to the "third" round by beating UMass and playing against Duke would silence a lot of critics…on second thought no, no it unfortunately wouldn't.

success breeds success.

I wasn't sure if we were gonna win, but I wasn't smashing my TV when we got off to rough start. I did switch to the Grizz game though. :eek:hmy:

That was a great comeback & win. Didn't seem like we had much game or enthusiasm in the 1st half, but thought it was a good sign that we were only down by three. Tennessee kept hanging around even though they were being outplayed and outhustled and it paid off in the end. They could have easily given up after that disastrous first 15 minutes but they didn't! What a game & what a comeback. Beat UMass!!!

I never said it was better to play in a "play in game." For someone well versed in logic you don't read very well. Of course its not better to be in a "play-in" game. It requires of you to play an extra game that most teams don't have to. But the win technically counts as a tourney win. So I don't see how in any way I said its better to be in the play-in game.

Here's some logic for you:

Expectation: Get in Tourney, and Win a game. (minimum requirement for expectations of the season to be met).

1.Vols are selected for the tourney/play-in game (first round)
2.Vols win.
3.Vols advance to 2nd round.
Therefore,
1. Initial expectations met.

This in no way means that a lose in the second round will not be a disappoint for me because I think its a winnable game. A second win will go beyond my expectation for this season as a whole.

If you have problems with my expectations that another thing but you can't say anything about my logic.

If you take issue with the play-in game counting as a tourney win, thats not my problem, you can take that up with the NCAA. A win is a win. And guess who's expectations we're talking about here? Mine. I think I would know when my expectations are met or not. If anyone has flawed logic it is you my friend.

I smell an agenda...

No matter what happens in the game against UMass I will evaluate that loss or win on the merits of that game. Only a senile person like yourself could not get enjoyment out of a win- regardless of your position on the value of a particular game. Its still technically a win in the NCAA tourney, its not the freakin' NIT for goodness sakes!

Regardless I think we would have been in the tourney if their wasn't play-in games- and I think this game shows we belong in.

I think you would have rather lost or missed the tourney entirely so you could call for firing the coach or some obnoxious reason like that. Unlike you I have pride for our teams accomplishments.

Wait and see. If the Vols made it to the Elite 8 he and his minions would claim the season a failure, or more to the point, Cuonzo. They need to get their new Auburn handles prepared and get on over to the wasteland where they belong.
