I know right, it's crazy to point out facts and feel discouraged after the way they've been playing the last 4 games. They'll just roll thru the rest of the Season.

Didn't expect a win tonight, but that was an inexcusable effort tonight. LSU played them better just a few days ago.

So Saturday has a be a must win right? Lose that one and we are OUT of the big dance

I'm guessing technically we could lose it then win out and one in the SECT and be in.

But realistically, it's definitely a must win because if we lose at home against Mizzou, there's no way we're winning out. In fact if we lose that one, I'm going to bet we end up falling apart and not making the NIT.

It's not fact we're definitely off the bubble yet.

Yeah we are done. Gotta hope we make NIT and not lose out now.

It might take 4 more wins to get into the NIT and I'm not feeling too good about beating both Vanderbilt AND Alabama. TN potentially needs two wins in the SECT (plus Missouri and LSU) to make the NIT. 4-4 makes the W/L 18-16 or 17-16 excluding Chaminade.

Georgia is a problem. We need to swallow our pride and say C A T S cats cats cats Saturday.

Must win no doubt about it Saturday. Wish it was was on the road.

Get your ass to TBA Vols fans.

I'm almost at the point of not caring which wins are most beneficial for TN and instead pulling for the teams that I like more (or against the ones that I dislike). I guess I'll stick with the program until TN drops one of the next 5 that aren't USCe.

Go 'clones!!!

There is part of me that wants Tennessee to make the tourney because of the schedule and it's a nice story because they have overachieved being where they are.

But the truth is, they won't have done enough to deserve getting a bid and they won't get a bid

They are close to having done enough because it will be determined based on how well they've performed relative to other teams. The field size won't be reduced and the NCAAT won't go with teams with better records that haven't played anybody. It's like if you and your buddy are in the woods and a bear charges at you. You don't have to run faster than the bear... just be faster than your buddy.

If Tennessee finishes 17-13 regular season I'm not sure how you can make that statement and logically put in 3 or 4 teams above them?
