Jerry Palm updated CBS bracket...

[bleedingTNorange]

Figured maybe we could look at someone besides Lunardi...

NCAA College Basketball Tournament Bracket Predictions - CBSSports.com News, Scores, Stats, Schedule and RPI Rankings

Last 4 in: La Salle, Tennessee, Kentucky, Iowa State


So we're ahead of Kentucky according to him, hopefully that eases the mind of some.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Also, I guess they're pretty solidly in, but what about Oregon? Lost their last 2, RPI is 54, if they lose their first in the PAC12T are they out? If have to think so.

 

[ShowSomePride]

So we'd either play Marquette or Butler?

Butler according to palm.

 

[calban]

A little food for thought.
Things may begin to get a little crazy come Tuesday.
Only 4 teams counting TN don't have 20 wins yet.
Boise plays San diego st on tuesday. both have 19 wins.
One of those teams won't make it to 20.
Nova has 18 wins and has to win 2 in their tourney to get to 20. They start with St John's. second game could put them out.
Will be a lot of juggling this week.

 

[YankeeVol]

Butler would destroy us

 

[SCowlsVOL]

Why do you think we would get destroyed??

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Butler has struggled down the stretch, but Brad Stevens usually has his guys ready come March.

 

[SCowlsVOL]

I don't know if we would win but I don't think we would get destroyed.

 

[CNCVol88]

I don't know if we would win but I don't think we would get destroyed.

pretty much this and even then, I'll be satisfied..not content but satisfied with an NCAAT appearance. That shows progress from last year in the very least.

Agreed. The main thing is getting in the tourney. Helps recruiting . Shows progress in the bball program and where it is going.

 

[PowerSweep]

Butler.likely wouldn't even be favored vs UT, and even if they were it'd be a point or two

 

[OrangeInKy]

I predict UT wins 2 this week and gets a 10 seed. I would like to get to play in Lexington (since I live here and many Vol fan could make trip), the 11 seed that Wichita currently is projected could be in play.

I have confidence they could win 1 or 2 in tourney with the way they have stepped up lately. However, it's all about match-ups, as we know

Butler according to palm.

Lets get in first.:unsure:

 

[LibertyVol]

Just taking a quick look at this, I think the Alabama game may be a play in game for Tennessee.

 

[ShowSomePride]

Xavier lost to Butler by 5 away..I think Tennessee beating Butler is very doable.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Butler would destroy us

Butler is better than Florida?

 

[phowell23]

Butler is better than Florida?

Yes, but not as good as Georgia.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Yes, but not as good as Georgia.

Gotcha

 

[volroadwarrior]

Guessing is fun, but there is a lot of BB left before selections are made. I Agree that the Bama game can be a solid ticket puncher.

 

[EastT]

We could have beat George town, we downed Florida, we could win a big time game against Butler...Period

 

[VolGee4]

Have to be disciplined on defense, but Butler will struggle against very athletic teams. See VCU. Put Richardson on Clarke, and I would take it.

 

[vols 30]

Agreed. The main thing is getting in the tourney. Helps recruiting . Shows progress in the bball program and where it is going.

Plus, it will shut the haters up for awhile...............

These guys are good enough to beat just about anybody and they are bad enough to lose to just about anybody.
