Non-Lady Vol Basketball News 2024-25

Don't care, it was great! Of course the LVs rampaged thru the tourney every year, once beat Vandy by 50 there. 99% of the crowd was rabid LV. Seating? What seating? Those were the days.

Your memory is very bad. Tennessee hardly rampaged through the tournament every year. Of the seven years it was played in Chattanooga, the LVs won four, Vandy won two, and Auburn won one. The LVs lost in their first game to Georgia in ‘93 (quarters).
Also, Tennessee never beat Vandy by 50 there. The LVs were 2-1 against Vandy in Chattanooga. UT won by 25 in the ‘94 finals; Vandy won by 6 in the ‘95 finals; UT won by 8 in the 2000 semis. Maybe you’re thinking about the ‘98 tournament in Columbus when arguably the greatest team in the history of WCBB demoralized Vandy by 61, 106-45.

Dayum….simmer down, guru…

To be fair the entire NCAA Championship tournament should be held in Anchorage start to finish.

Does it seem normal for Missouri or Oklahoma to be in the Southeastern Conference?

 

[Gilmore]

Baylor taking it to Iowa St. right now, who is not looking like a 2 seed.

 

[VolBalls33]

Baylor has beat down Iowa State both games. Iowa State just isn't athletic enough to be elite.

 

[FormerLadyVolFan]

So much for Bracketology...We're a 4 seed..

Man it so is! They warned me that would happen.

Thanks for pointing it out, sorry it annoyed you so much.

Top 4 seed at that

Told ya lol. Dude is a hack. He watches UCONN and that’s it. We finished a very close 3rd in a very tough conference. We deserve to host. Our resume says that.

What Gule said. It ain't about fair it's about money. What venue will put the most money in SEC coffers?

Have you ever been to a SEC Womens Basketball Tournament? I have been to two in Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. Over half the crowd are wearing orange on day one when Tennessee doesn't play until day three. When we make the finals, 3 quarter's of 18,000 Bridgestone are wearing Orange. We have money also.

Darth is somewhere steaming that Tennessee is in the Top 16 and North Carolina isn’t.

It would be an interesting elite 8 in South Carolina's bracket should these brackets hold. Either Uconn or South Carolina wouldn't be going to the final 4 this year.

Feel sure UConn will weasel their way to a 2 seed. Don’t know what that would do to the brackets.

 

[glv98]

What do we have to do to keep the projected 4 seed? At least semis with a good showing there? Also will depend on what the teams directly above and below us do. Or we could make it easy and just get to the finals and lock up the home games.

Yes, I would say competitive semi appearance secures a 4 seed. If we were to make it to the final there is potential for a 3 seed I would think.

Not sure how. They don't play any teams ranked in the top 25 the rest of the way out. At least they might get a rematch against unranked Villanova who is the number 2 seed, but most likely it will be DePaul or Marquette. The S.O.S. goes down against the teams they play in the their tournament.

He has a man crush on Walz (or he actually IS Walz) so he's happy with his seeding. But he loves him some Vandy, so he's steaming, too, to see UT with such a high slot.

Agree totally, which is why I say weasel. I think they were the top 3 seed and Iowa St seems vulnerable as a 2 seed. Hope it doesn’t happen.

That is very true. That was a bad 25 point loss to Baylor on Iowa States' home court today. Even though Baylor is ranked a bit higher than Iowa State, that's pretty ugly.

2022 Big Ten Women’s Basketball Tournament Bracket Announced

Big Ten Tourney.

Like to see Indiana over Maryland, Northwestern over Iowa. Ohio State strength of schedule is so weak don't think they can get in the top 16 even if the win the tourney.

Strength of Schedule (SOS) - Women's College Basketball | WarrenNolan.com

If sos means nothing anymore we need to start playing more cupcakes and winning by 50. NC way down at number 61 in sos while we are at 4.

So we find out it means a lot and one of the major reasons we are still in the top 16 teams. One SEC win and we won't be replaced, two wins were a three seed. We win the tourney outside shot at a two.

Bracket set for 2022 Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Tournament, presented by New York Life

Pac 12 Tournament brackets

USC or UCLA winner over Oregon would help and Arizona lose would be big help as well. Hopefully Stanford wins here and we get no lower ranked team upsetting to the title.

Bracket Set for 2022 ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament

ACC Tourney brackets

Va Tech over NC would be huge, also Ga. Tech over Notre Dame. NC St or Louisville for the win we need NC eliminated as quickly as possible.
