roy williams was also in the finals two years running, if memory serves correct. nowhere near as bad as self

 

[emainvol]

In that case, Lute Olsen is the messiah for postseason collapses..

i always knew there was a reason i called him jesus.

Kentucky.

 

[USAF_Vol]

Kentucky.

Look kids....a homer.

 

[hatvol96]

Texas.
And Kansas won't win because Bill Self is a terrible post-season coach.

Yeah, the fact he got Tulsa and Illinois to the Elite Eight proves that.

Roy Williams never coached in back to back finals. Also, losing to UTEP and Rhode Island aren't exactly shining entries on one's NCAA resume.

What is Bruce Pearl considered if we lose in the first round this year?

 

[tidwell]

VOLinthaATL, I'll stand by and wait for you to list the occurences in which Bruce Pearl has taken a superior team talentwise and lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Go.

Okay, perhaps I should have said "earlier than expected"...2nd round...

As far as my comment, I was talking Post-season...SEC and NCAA...

I don't want to be considered a Pearl hater by any means...I love what he has done and to actually be able to cheer for UT come tournament time is great for us and the program...I just HATE when we lost early last year in both post season tournaments and again this year...thats all...

 

[tidwell]

It happens.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

It happens.

Very tru, but 4 times in 4 post season tournaments?

EDIT: Obviously it's only four if it happens this year...

 

[tidwell]

Did you expect to win SEC and NCAA tournaments in the first two years of the Pearl Era? :wacko:

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Did you expect to win SEC and NCAA tournaments in the first two years of the Pearl Era? :wacko:

Nope, never even hinted at that I don't believe, but i didn't expect to go out of both tournaments alot earlier than I expected last year, and the SEC this year...

 

[tidwell]

Ah well, maybe the Vols lose in the first or second in the NCAAs again this year so you can have more fuel for your theory.

 

[BigOrangeNation1]

Kansas over G'Town.

It's no theory, what has happened has happened...I didn't make it up...

 

[Volsguy12]

Kansas over North Carolina

 

[Mrs.BigOrangeNation]

Kansas over North Carolina

I think UNC is going to be the first #1 seed to go down...

 

[TennesseeFan07]

I have Georgetown beating UNC in the Elite 8 then losing to Florida in the championship

 

[McCat]

Look kids....a homer.

What? You don't believe that your Vols have a shot? Why cheer if you don't think you can win it all?

:yes:

 

[USAF_Vol]

What? You don't believe that your Vols have a shot? Why cheer if you don't think you can win it all?

:yes:

I put the smilie. I was only kidding.

 

[OrangeEmpire]

TAR HEELS!

 

[vol bandit]

florida over georgetown

 

[tidwell]

Fantastic. Thanks for clarifying past events. Now, please allow me to clarify as well. I meant 'maybe the Vols will lose early again so you'll have more evidence to support your argument that Bruce Pearl is a poor tournament coach.'
