in the #SEC tournament in order to make the NCAA tournament.

I personally think he is wrong but it is what he does.

 

[BadJerry20]

Wait for it...

Enough to beat UF or UK RT @EricQuiz2096: how many SECT wins u think Tenn needs?

Lunardi says we're in and i'd go with him over Palm. Lunardi is way more accurate every year with his projections.

"IF" we don't does this mean Bruce is coming back?

:whistling::whistling::whistling::whistling:

Just couldn't resist.

At that point we'd have 22 wins. We would be a lock to make the tournament. If we finish w 21, we're still on the bubble, but likely in.

Maybe he means we have to do that to be considered safely in?

He's been more accurate the last 3 years, which seems to coincide with ESPN's inside look with the selection committee.

Correct.

Fans from alot of schools have been asking him this stuff for days, he's being ultra conservative and answering it as if you want 100% no chance of being wrong.

He's told a lot of people, win your comferende tournament if you wanna get it. Notice his tweet doesn't say they can't get in with less, the OP just omitted that part.

Predictions mean nothing. Bracketology means nothing. Vols win out and we're in. We're in cause of Virginia. It's that simple.

 

[volmanbill]

What does Rosie think?

 

[rekinhavoc]

What do his five sisters think on the matter? Low hanging fruit had to.

 

[Shaun1985]

Not as weak as this bubble has been. Tennessee will get in with a win.

That was me asking that and I asked to be a LOCK. He deleted that part.

Of course he did. It doesn't fit the fire Martin agenda.

 

[supersmo18]

What does Rosie think?

I see what you did there.

 

[SNAFU]

Would you rather make the tournament, lose first round and keep Martin or not make the tournament and fire Martin guaranteed? I have no opinion one way or the other but it seems like this is how the basketball fan base is divided.

 

[armchair]

Well, let's hope he's wrong because we're damn sure not beating florida or kentucky in the tourney. Hell, we couldn't beat mississippi state and auburn if they were our semifinal and final tourney opponents. Vols are usually a lock for one tourney win--beat a bad team, lose the next one.

Easy answer. Not make tourney and fire Martin.

Surprise surprise.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

My prediction is if we win the SEC tournament, we will go to the NCAA tournament...just a gut feeling.

Every real fan should want their team to be successful.
