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

[TrapVol]

Well, ready or not, looks like we will be #1 next week.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Lol 14-2 and UK and Auburn are the losses. Amazing

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

TN ranked #1 is becoming routine.

 

[TrueOrange]

Being #1 scares me. We always seem to lose our next game when we make it to #1!

Didn’t UT stay at the #1 spot for like 7 games in 2018 before they finally lost another game?

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Once again, it is nearly impossible to win on the road against a competent team.

 

[Volfan1000]

If there’s one weakness KY has, it seems they can’t handle physicality in the post.

This is where I think Okpara and Milicic can shine.

And Phillips.

Thanks to Duke for beating Auburn and maybe Tennessee goes to Cameron for the SEC/ACC Challenge in 2025.

4 weeks in 2019. 1/21/2019 until 2/17/2019.

12 straight wins to earn it. Kept #1 for 7 games. Lost at Kentucky to end it.

Uhhhh….

We’ve been number 1 twice

Once under Pearl after our 1v2 against Memphis which we did lose the next game so we were only number 1 for 1 week

But back in 18/19ish we were number 1 for a month and won 6-8 games after being number 1

Beat Memphis on a Saturday to get the #1 in 2008. Lost to Vandy the next game.

In 2019 TN reached #1 and had to go to Vandy the next game (again). TN won in OT at Memorial. I think it was the game that Grant didn’t miss a free throw in 20+ attempts.

True, but it took a monumental comeback win and Grant Williams going for 43 pts and 8 rebs on 23-23 from the FT line to win that 1st game in OT against a Vandy team that went 0-18 in the SEC.

The latter game can also be remembered for this beauty

May be my favorite dunk, ever, by a Vol

 

[Voltopia]

Bilas just can’t shut up about Cooper Flag good grief

Seriously. Watching the replay, Flag gets away with a hell of a lot of extra steps. During a slow motion replay of one of his layups, while Bilas was showering praise on him, you could see him take two steps, then a third step - and to make it even more obvious, he dragged his other foot while finishing the third step. A total of four steps. Bilas, of course, had nothing but praise for it as a great move.

Can’t believe that was already 6 years ago

Time needs to slow down.

 

[WarDamnVols]

Tough loss, but I can’t be too disappointed. Auburn easily had the worst draw in the entire SEC-ACC battle by far; winning at Cameron Indoor is about as tough as it gets. With a big win Sunday, they probably won’t drop out of the top 5.

On the plus side, at least Tennessee slides into the #1 spot, so still a win either way! SEC play is going to be intense!

@FastChad is it just me or is clempsun basketball ghay as h3lL

If beating KY is ghey, call me Liberace and bend me over. ZFG

I still believe this will be the least number of regular season win for a champion since the move to 18 games.

Unfortunately it only keeps speeding up Trippie

I have to brag a bit here on the Gators, 9-0, with a lot of blow out wins over decent competition:

UF 87 FSU 74

UF 75 Wake Forest 58

UF 88 Wichita State 51

UF 87 Virginia 69


None are ranked but Wichita State was 6-1, Wake was 6-2, heading into those games. The big game prior to SEC competition is UNC, on 12/17.

Would you like to address the talk about your HC stalking college coeds as well while you’re here?

Yeah the coach might be a sleeze, but nothing he said is unreasonable?

This board benefits from reasonable outside posters. Don't run them off.
