College Hoops Around The Country [TN opponents, RPI, others]

[golfballs]

Good, fun team to watch, plus they ain't Duke and/or UNC

I wouldn’t want to play them again

 

[BruinVol]

Hell of a comeback by ND

Hell of a comeback by ND

VT choked that one away, good game down the stretch

Today's rooting guide.

Seedline:
Syracuse over UNC (even though I think UNC is firmly ahead of us even w a loss)

RPI/Quadrant:
South Carolina over Ole Miss
NC State over Boston College
Iowa St. over Texas
Virginia Tech over Notre Dame
California over Stanford
DePaul over Marquette
Oklahoma St over Oklahoma
Georgia over Vanderbilt

Not going so hot. USC and NC State are probably the two biggest for us. W NCSU going down really need USC to pull it out

 

[RikidyBones]

Oklahoma is trash

 

[Lankykong]

Better for us if A&M beats Bama, right?

 

[VolnJC]

Vols don't have a single player averaging over 29 minutes(only one I saw in SEC)...Barnes seems to do a really good job of rotating players and keeping his teams fresh

Doesn't matter as I don't think A&M would fall enough To hurt in the RPI

I am pulling for Bama as I want the sec to get another team in the dance

Kevin Stallings just got canned after only 2 years at Pitt.

Florida
Texas A&M

I hope they both get left out. MSU isn't getting in IMO. I don't follow this stuff closely but their non conference schedule was abysmal.

Bama is tanking hard.

Palm doesn't have either of them on the bubble.

Edit: just realized he's saying they need 2 wins in the tourney.

Florida, A&M, and Arkansas seem pretty comfortably in.

Lunardi doesn't have either of them on the bubble.

Huh? Bama is in his First 4 Out right now.

 

[BigZiti09]

Huh? Bama is in his First 4 Out right now.

I was looking at Palm not Lunardi.

 

[BigZiti09]

Florida, A&M, and Arkansas seem pretty comfortably in.

Ok, I knew the 6 number seemed low. Arkansas was the one we were missing.

So.....

Auburn
Tennessee
Kentucky
Florida
Arkansas
Texas A&M
Missouri

Those are the locks.

Bama needs two wins in the SECT per Jerry Palm.

Miss State is out IMO.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

FYI Baldy is out at Pitt.

I saw on Matrix LSU was on the bubble. First I saw that. I had no idea they even were being discussed. I guess they are on the bubble like we were the first two years with Zo. In the discussion but no realistic shot.

A bunch of bubble teams are losing so it has opened the door, they probably need to win at least 2 games, and maybe even 3. Again not very likely but still in the conversation.
