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

I don’t want to be in Duke’s bracket this year.

Flagg will be Edey 2.0

I’m not afraid of anyone. We almost won at Auburn.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Houston is a 2

Yeah I know, because they had us a #1.
That's changed. They got the best shot at a #1 right now between them and Bama.

As far as us and #1seed, naturally, when I said win out I assumed we beat Bama.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

I think we have one path for a 1 seed. Win out before the tournament.

 

[ENGRVOL]

Stinks that Kentucky couldn’t help us out but our game with bama next week probably would be the deciding factor irregardless if bama won/lost tonight for a #1 seed so looking forward to another Kentucky loss

If us and Houston both win out we’ll be ahead of them imo

Just stating info, pass along if you despise Lunardi.

If LSU would have pulled that off, we would have been bumped up to the 1-seed line. I’m sure Bama will drop at least 1 and possibly 2 more but really needing Florida to drop one and it would be nice if it was at Georgia in the midweek game next week. They do have 3 ranked teams to close out the year tho.

Maybe, maybe not. They are our competition right now. We could maybe afford to even lose one if Houston does which is why I said we want them to keep losing

A loss to a bad team right now will kill you if you're trying to get that #1 seed. Or fighting someone for any seed really. Have to avoid those at all cost

How do they have the best shot when the Selection Committee had us ranked three spots ahead of them on the S-Curve and we haven’t lost since?

 

[Chaz-Vol]

Come on Cal, do your buddy Rick a solid and beat Mizzou

We want everyone in front of us to lose lol

"They got the best shot at a #1 right now between them and Bama."

I like most you guys on this site, but some of you are just a little to quick to argue.

Dude likes to talk in definites with no supporting evidence and when pressed will just say it’s his opinion which should be taken as fact

No we’re not!

He’s asking why? Or based on what is that statement?

We ( us) doesn’t have anything to with Bama and Houston. They ( Houston) are our best competition now ( as far as wanting someone to lose) not Bama. Bama and us will be settled on our court in Knoxville

 

[VolCalls]

This is a fact because we’re already ahead of them. We win out and a #1 seed is guaranteed.

Not what was asked…you keep saying Houston is ahead of us, what’s that statement based on?

 

[Unimane]

I think Duke has scored on every possession in the last 10 minutes.

 

[VolCalls]

A #1 seed would also put us in Lexington for the first two rounds.

I didn't say Houston was necessarily ahead of us at this moment. I said things had changed and we weren't necessarily a #1 seed like when top 16 bracket was released and they are now or best competition in regards.

Joe Lunardi: Tennessee will lose No. 1 seed in ESPN Bracketology after loss at Kentucky

Tennessee will lose its spot as a No. 1 seed in ESPN's NCAA Tournament Bracketology after the loss at Kentucky on Tuesday.

Duke gets a lot of flack for how bad the ACC is, but they look to me like the team to beat nationally right now.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

48-41 Mizzou at the half with Arkansas.
Need hoggies to somehow catch fire second half.

Which is exactly why I was hoping LSU or Georgia could give them a loss. For us, we absolutely can’t go into Baton Rouge next week and lose. IMO, if we are truly a 1-seed, you go and win the next 4 games.
