Can the Vols work their way up to a 1 with a tournament win?

Seems... really unlikely. Gonzaga is locked in, Baylor probably only falls out to anyone who was a 2 seed on Wednesday, and you'd need Kentucky/Arizona/Duke/Villanova/Kansas to lose today (which is likely a day late for 'Nova, Duke and KU) to have a shot.

A 2 seed would be one hell of an achievement, though!

Good lord TAMU inbound the ball.

 

[Volprofch05]

Damn, Bruce looks like he's been playing the whole game

 

[VolsSportsFan]

TAMU going stupid.

 

[MAD]

Tickets just got cheaper for the rest of the tournament

 

[Volprofch05]

Too little too late there Brucey-boy

 

[Willy14]

Man this is awesome, what a day so far. Need to win tonight in order to cap this day off

 

[BallerVolFan]

LETS GOOOO!!! GTFO of Tampa Auburn!

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Oh I am so happy at the moment.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Upsets all over the place in these conference tournaments. Please bring it tonight, Vols.

 

[Kicker82]

Let’s go lsu vols and dores!

 

[Voltime123]

There goes Auburn’s 1 seed

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

It's just hard to envision Auburn going deep into the NCAAT with the inconsistent guard play they've been getting lately. They've been looking like a team that's very vulnerable to a 7/10 seed upset in the round of 32.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Incredibly unlikely. Even a 2 seed is potentially out of reach with a tournament win

Huh?

I disagree, if UT wins the SEC Tournament they are a lock for a 2 seed

 

[Volfan1000]

Indiana beats top seed Illinois in the Big Ten Tournament 65-63.

 

[omghulkhands]

Huh?

We talked about this the other day. I thought we agreed a tourney win wouldn’t guarantee a 2 seed?

Edit: looks like you weren’t in on the convo actually

We don’t give a damn ‘bout the whole state of Alabam

Yeah, I don’t think it guarantees one either, especially now that that wouldn’t include beating Auburn

Are we talking “a” win, as in single win, or are we talking winning the whole thing, which is the only way we would have a chance to beat Auburn before they lost today. If we are talking “a” win, then yea, we might not be a 2 seed. If we make it to the championship, which means we most likely beat UK, then a 2 seed is a lock IMO.

 

[cardvolfan]

In my opinion, Musselman is number 2 in the SEC behind Wade for those coaches seeking the most attention and complaining the most to officials.

 

[GBO18]

Can’t wait for Will Wade to get fired. Dude is a big baby.

If Williams falls down it’s always a foul on the other team. No matter if it’s on offense or defense

The latter. I think it gets us to a 2 seed, but I wouldn’t be floored if it didn’t

Hopefully that narrative is changing a bit after the Fayetteville fiasco. He didn’t get those calls in Knoxville. I think the SEC office respects Barnes and has possibly changed the narrative to some degree.
