Eff that fat toad.

Because of Rick, Rutardi gets to stick it to us. The hits just keep coming.

 

[Creeker]

Mentioned in the game thread that this would happen. Definitely is going to fuel the talking heads to say that the SEC wasn’t strong and that the seeding was correct after all. Vols and UK really ruined the argument for the conference.

Didn’t he say he would have had us as a 2 seed? Didn’t he have us in the final 4? Is this a self own? This guy is the biggest clown there is

 

[Voltopia]

Smug, arrogant, petty little jackass.

Well, wait. That's not fair. I shouldn't say "little."

Depends on which side of his mouth you mean.

Screw him

This goes to show you they don’t care and just want to justify seedings. A professional wouldn’t say, “I told you so.”

I didn't see Rick clanking jumpers in the second half. When did he play? The coaching was there but the execution was not. Some days are like that.

 

[Namorto1]

It’s a stupid take. You are seeded based on a full season. In a one and done format, stuff happens. An upset in a close game on a neutral floor doesn’t mean we didn’t earn a high seed.

 

[TnVol!]

We didn't lose today because of our seed. We lost because of our poor performance. They made shots and we didn't.

 

[Other_Guy]

So we seat them by how we think they'll perform, not by what they earned?

 

[DC_Vol]

Lunardi is making a lot of noise because he knows he got exposed as nothing more than a mouth piece of the committee. His propriety analytics are a sham.

 

[VolPack22]

What about all the other teams that have gotten upset Joe? Were they seeded incorrectly as well? I guess Baylor shouldn’t have been a 1? UConn and Iowa shouldn’t have been a 5? USC shouldn’t have been a 7? TCU, Creighton, and Memphis shouldn’t have been a 9? Seems a bit hypocritical

 

[Samthebam]

Teams lose.

But this is a stunningly unprofessional comment.

 

[DonDiego]

Lunardi is a leech on baseball. Could never dream of playing, just criticize players and teams. He doesn't like the SEC. A wormy fat leech.

I think you mean basketball but he probably screws up baseball too somehow.

I would normally go back and edit and correct my mistake, but in honor of your vigilance, I'll leave it as is..

Lunardi, we will never know how Tennessee would have faired as a 2 seed, will we? Theoretically we could have played Murray State yesterday instead of Michigan. Then, if we faced Michigan in New Orleans later, we would not have faced such a geographical disadvantage in terms of (Big 10) fan support.

Good thing he will be in a nursing home soon

 

[njvols]

He's an idiot. Hey, we gotta win the games in front of us and there's no getting around that, but playing Michigan w/ their talent who is peaking now, is like playing Oregon State last year. Our path much different than even Ark. Not that some of those mid tier small school teams aren't really good and who knows, if we pulled St Peter like KY, we may have lost to them too, but there is some validity to how we get the short straw every year on the bracket.

We still should have won the game...had it decently in hand before we went cold. Barnes has to somehow figure out how to get out of those scoring ruts. I felt like we were playing a "watch ball" towards the end...Chandler was hot and everyone just standing too much watching him do his thing.

Par for the course for "journalists" these days

2 seeds always have an easier path to the Sweet 16. Coming into this tournament since 1985, 6/11 seeds had won 47% of their 2nd round games compared to 35% for 7/10 seeds. Some people don’t think seeding matters but history says otherwise.
