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

I don't give a damn about St. Louis. In fact I am fine being one and done. I think there is something to be said for being rested headed into the NCAA tourney

So, it's good if Auburn loses and it's good if Kentucky loses.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Interesting. I think I might lean the other way.

Regular season means you were the best team over the course of the year. Tourney champs mean you were the best for 3-4 days. Now, making a run in the SEC tourney is a pretty fun ride too. Let’s just win both

I’d rather have the regular season title because that’s the SEC Champion; the tournament winner is designated the SECT Champion.

LaChance with the dagger against MSU. 3 pointer with 1.5 seconds left

Then we need to win.

If we win out and every team ahead of us does as well we don’t move up, pretty simple.

Clemson and FSU in OT.

Happy for that kid. He's lost a few but he won that one

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Mississippi State with the L to Vandy, gonna be tough for them to make the dance now.

Clemson and FSU heading to OT.

Nova down 5 with 1 minute left.

C’mon UK

 

[appyvol]

FSU up 1 50 seconds left

 

[BruinVol]

Nice to see Clemson lose.

Good night so far...

Villanova goes down to Providence and looks like Clemson is gonna lose to Florida State

 

[BreatheUT]

Y’all are a bunch of babies lol...my love for Tennessee is more than my hate for Kentucky.

An Auburn loss and first place for SEC is open, it also gives a team ahead of us on the seed list that would take a close location from us another L...so for SEC/NCAAT/Location Auburn losing would be the better choice...also we played UK twice, so their SOS impacts us more than Auburn’s.

There is no reason other than disliking UK that any Vol fan should be rooting for Auburn.

I'm with BTO on this. No brainer. You can't hope somebody beats Auburn. They need to lose two but of course it won't matter if the Vols continue to play like the last two games.

Well we both spoke too soon on Clemson

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Lmao, that was almost an epic choke job from FSU

Is it really that good that Nova loses since we’ve played them? I don’t think there’s any realistic chance we move pass them

 

[bleedingTNorange]

I debated that one a bit...I could see them losing 3 more which would put them at 25-6, still probably ahead of us but if we were to win out I think it would be close.

Probably should’ve rooted for them in hindsight though lol.

Agreed. We can't catch them

They won’t.

 

[BruinVol]

Dang didn't realize that Clemson had such a high RPI. Still top 5

 

[bleedingTNorange]

They won’t.

And maybe we won’t either?

I agree that I don't understand the logic of Villanova losing as good or Purdue for that matter.

Me either.

We want those guys as 1 seeds. Makes us look better.

 

[BigZiti09]

And maybe we won’t either?

I just don’t have the energy for all that worrying about games that don’t immediately impact us.

Kentucky hatred is in my dna.

If I’m gonna watch games it’s fun to have a rooting interest in some of them, especially if It can benefit the Vols.

Totally get that.
