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

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Was really hoping MSU would win this one, but when you shoot free throws as poorly as they have, you don’t deserve to win. Pretty much seals that Alabama will come into Knoxville at 4-0 in league play.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Wow. Another 2 missed free throws. 6 straight missed free throws in the final 2 minutes of that game. Unreal.

 

[The Dog]

6 straight missed FT's by MSU, Choke 'Dogs

 

[fear]

meh if bama is ranked coming in next week another chance at a quality win. win-win imo

 

[The Dog]

Yeah, we destroy Bama at home. Vols don't lose at home in the Barnes era

 

[BallerVolFan]

We get Florida and Bama at home next week and then Vandy on the road and South Carolina at home the week after. Bias aside, there’s really no excuse to lose any of those games outside of maybe Bama but we usually win at home. We need to go 4-0 headed into the matchup with UK on the road.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

We lost to a bad team

We lost to a bad team

They’ll sneak into the tournament.

We lost to a bad team

Mississippi State is not a bad team lol.

[VolPack22]

We lost to a bad team

Mississippi State was a Quad 1 loss. They are not a bad team. Vanderbilt is a bad team.

It will be interesting to see where the Vols land in the polls tomorrow after a wild week of upsets in the top 5 teams this past week.

We don't win much at Coleman Coliseum.

Coleman Coliseum, Rupp Arena and Stegman Coliseum are the 3 conference road venues that Tennessee has historically had the most trouble winning at.

I’m guessing around 10? At some point, 4 losses doesn’t look good to pollsters not digging deeper.

Well, I guess that would eliminate most of the rest of the teams behind us in the polls from jumping us then. Almost every top 15 team has 3-4 losses.

 

[The Dog]

Eventually, losing Shannon for the Illini is going to hurt 'em. Down 6 to Maryland with 8 minutes to go. Might not be today, but I expect a couple of more extra losses without their main man

It would be hard to pinpoint what team around us would jump us, since most of the top ten lost this week.

 

[knoxvol52]

Maryland goes to Illinois and wins 76-67..

 

[TheMookieMonster]

So 8 of the Top 10 lost this week. Wonder when the last time that happened was….

 

[cncchris33]

And all were to unranked teams as well

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

 

[VolPack22]

So 8 of the Top 10 lost this week. Wonder when the last time that happened was….

And 2 of them lost twice. So technically 10 top 10 losses in 1 week.

Mark Few is one of the coaches that I would have wanted at Tennessee if Barnes hadn't chose to stay..

I would still take him as a replacement. One year does not change a coaches overall resume.

FHAR Mark Few - obviously coasting into retirement!
