Computers have loved us all year. We haven’t exactly earned that love, IMO. Don’t trust computers. They’re flawed.

This team has a lot going against it;
Lost 6 of last 10
Lost key player
Uros Free Throws 35%, I’m 72 and would challenge him FT contest for $1,000
Head coach poor record NCAA, 25 wins/26 losses, 1 final four
Could go on and on

But, I say they have the talent to be a Cinderella team and get to final four

Girls gonna be in final 4.

Not the guys. Nope.
Lady Vols have not played as well as the men this year. They picked up their first win over a ranked team against LSU at the SEC Tournament. I think they’re capable of a big run but Sweet Sixteen would be a good result.

As for the men, it’s more of a toss-up with Zakai out. Kenpom considers them among the unluckiest teams so if their luck is average the results should be great. But if you’re unlucky for so much of the year, what’s the odds of your luck suddenly improving?

You never know this time of the year because of the unexpected and how anyone can get hot or cold at the right/wrong time. With that said I didn't see us the way we have been playing as having any legit shot at the F4 before Z's injury, I sure don't see it now. I think teams like us, Purdue, and Kansas could all win the title or loose first round easily. I think it'll be at least a 5 seed that gets hot and wins it all.

If we play defensively like we did against Alabama and Arkansas then maybe, but the first time they slip up and have a bad defensive game, it's over.

Garbage in - garbage out. A “computer” model is really just a model that *someone* coded a computer to evaluate. It’s exactly as good or bad as the person who made it and the data they feed it.
