Sucks, I'm not knowledgeable enough about it to know if we deserved to get in or not. Did we get screwed or did we squander it?

Seriously? We had way too many opportunities to lock down a bid. Hit FT's at Georgetown, beat GA at home. Beat Memphis at home. Beat AL Friday. That's just a few. As usual, the Vols choked when they had to win and now get to play in the Nobody Interested Tournament.

Yeah I was serious, back when I was interested in bb 20 wins was usually enough to get you in, but like I said, not knowledgeable on the subject, hence the request for input

Even the committee said on ESPN that the entire season was the fall for Tennessee. You can't play like crap for 2/3 of the season and expect a run to fix your problems. Cuonzo has coached a team to be average for 4/6 of two seasons. Can't hit FT, 3's, and win in a tournament situation.

I know Bruce lied to the NCAA and deserved to be fired, but it sure was nice to watch Selection Sunday and wonder how high your seed was instead of wondering if you could crawl into the play in game.

Ah yes, those wonderful years of NCAA sanctions. Those were great days weren't they?
GO VOLS!

Sanctions were nothing. And yes they would have hammered us if we would have kept Pearl, but really who cares we would have been back and it does not matter, because under Martin we have not made the NCAA yet. Let's just face facts. How can you hate Pearl other than one reason for being stupid enough to get caught. I do not condone cheating, but really you and all of us are upset, because he is not the coach. We could have gone to the final four with him. I am not ashamed to say, I want him back wearing the orange again. I don't think it is out of question. Martin is freaking boring and the worst part is they are not winning. I could deal with it, if they were going to the dance...I bet they do go next year and it saves CCM job, because he cannot even botch it next year. If he does hello Pearl.

Watching this team jack up 3's for 4 months is sanction enough if you ask me.

I went to the NIT game last year because my nephew begged me but I will never ever attend another one. I don't blame any Vol fan for choosing to say screw the NIT. Yeah. It's more practice and couple extra bucks but it's unacceptable IMO. I'm not gonna spend my money and support something I don't agree with. We have a talented enough team to dance this year....wtf does a NIT banner matter???

It wasn't a good run. Too many losses to garbage based upon no shows and no offensive plan / skill.

Learn to pass and work on shooting. Ball screen defense is retarded. Play the percentages. Fix it or keep losing.

This makes no sense. We got beat often by less talented teams. That shouldn't happen regularly.

aren't you just cute. You said nothing that makes any sense. You can't blame the Pearl lovers for wanting him back. We danced with Pearl. We play horrible or with no sense of urgency all the way till the end of the season, figure it out, lose super human strength and end up a game or two on the wrong side of the stick with Martin. I don't care for Bruce but they shouldn't be flamed. Our team looks like they learn offense game by game and practice only defense. It's sad and makes it look like Martin just wants the team to figure it out. It's quite sad actually.

SIAP but VOLS may not get to host first few round games due to NCAA Women's tourney at TBA

Therein lies a problem for UT. First- and second-round games in the NCAA women’s tournament are scheduled at Thompson-Boling Arena on Saturday and Monday of the upcoming week. If the Vols land in the NIT, they will likely receive and generous seed and offered a home game.

The women’s tournament limits that opportunity.

Because the NCAA will take over Thompson-Boling — dressing it up with tournament paraphernalia and scheduling shootarounds and media events — Wednesday would be the only day for the Vols to host a men’s first-round NIT game, according to two UT sources in the program. The sources requested anonymity because no official announcement has been made.
