Official Bubble Watch Thread

[BigOrangeMojo]

This team is closer to the preseason projections of 13th in the SEC than the NCAA field.

Coach Barnes inherited a mess but theres just not enough high level SEC talent on this roster. Theres pieces but not enough quality depth for 35 game season.

Game. Set. Match. Need to win 1 of the last 2 to salvage the NIT and stay above .500.

It's sad it's come to this. Wouldn't be surprised if LSU wins the next game

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Need to start an NIT Bubble thread.

Guys have looked tired to me for a while now. Especially mentally and especially the youngsters.

 

[orangemadam]

If we play the next two games like we have the past two, LSU will even beat us.

I'm not confident in even making NIT. I think Bama will beat us by double digits and we will squeak by LSU. Playing as the 10 or 11 seat in SECT, we probably get beat first round. That would make us losing 4 of last 5 and not get NIT bid.

I actually thought with the way USCjr was playing lately and the fact that UT's season was on the line that we would actually show up for the freaking game.

Why haven't shown up in weeks why start now?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Team desperately misses Bowden...didn't think I would say that at the beginning of the year.

 

[golfballs]

anything about UT making the tourney, being on the bubble, bracketology, etc. after today's performance should be suspended from the board indefinitely. Awful.

How about you quit embarrassing yourself with stupid threads

 

[JohnD13]

What did you expect of this team in October? Legitimately curious.

Honestly? 10 wins

And Fulkerson. He was a difference maker as well

Barring a miracle run in the SECT.

 

[JFreak]

Honestly? 10 wins

I think most people were about on board with that. I predicted somewhere around 12 wins, which is why none of this hate and anger makes any sense. Sure the end has been frustrating but it was a fun run to watch. Wish we could have pulled it out against UNC.

What is wrong with him? Is it more than the flu?

And mostella would've helped if he was focused

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

What is wrong with him? Is it more than the flu?

Pneumonia. Even if he manages to return this year he won't be effective.

Ok, thanks

Jeez

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I had pneumonia as a kid and it took two months to fully get over.

He had pneumonia

a little late now, but maybe they should vaccinate the players for it

The rest of the conference would be so disappointed.

 

[YankeeVol]

I think the bubble has pretty much burst after today, short of winning the SEC Tourney

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Updated through most of today's games, the bubble is so bad that I have moved Vandy in at 16-13(9-7)...

Need 1 more win:
Northwestern
Southern Cal
Michigan
Seton Hall
Michigan State

Work left to do:
California
Wake Forest
Providence
Vanderbilt
Georgia
Illinois State
---------------------------
Illinois


Rhode Island
Kansas State
Syracuse
Georgia Tech
Marquette
TCU
Ohio State
Ole Miss
Tennessee
Indiana
Clemson
Pittsburgh
Georgetown
Penn State

At this point better worry about making the NIT; that's in jeopardy.
