A 6 seed? What a joke, so were at best the 24th best team this year? At worst we were a 5 IMO, a 4 would not have been unreasonable.

You can make love to ESPN/AP rankings all night but the committee doesn't care. UT went 6-6 against the Top 50 and 2-6 away from TBA. That's about 24th.

tough matchup. these are def. the 2 best 11 and 6 seeds. i would LOVED to played a team like butler or like temple or something

Be careful what you wish for.

Tennessee has lost to Butler and Temple in the last couple years. They're no pushovers

 

[TrueOrange]

Get 'em Dickie V.

that part was great

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Dickie V getting 'em again.

Give him a break, North Carolina isn't in. He doesn't know what to do.

Cool story. So tell us about that victory you had at home over Kentucky.

I would like to hear about the one over Kansas too.

In the most polite way possible, this committee is the worst in history.
Also he said that VA Tech should be in the tournament.

specifically in instead of wake



and now they've got bobby knight who said the committee is not capable of judging basketball (or something along those lines)

Do you not realize how moronic that question is? South Carolina beat UK also and they may not even get selected for the NIT!

2 games don't make a season. Tennessee went 2-6 against the top 50 away from TBA and that's why UT is a 6.

Wouldn't go that far.

Keep hanging your hat on 2 wins because it got you a 3rd place SEC East finish and a 6th seed in the tourney.

Once again, nice story. Now tell me why Maryland is a 4 and A&M is a 5. **** this bracket.

I agree with you, both of those teams are seeded too high.

 

[VolNC2316]

I got.....

Kansas
Syracuse
West Virginia
Villanova

 

[OrangeWilly]

They beat 4 tournament teams

Check out their RPI and strength of schedule...Prior to the conference tourney they beat no one.

Florida doesn't count as a good win

Agree completely...were better than both of them.

Well that's exactly what Dickie V was going off on. that those two teams should be swapped

 

[TrueOrange]

Give him a break, North Carolina isn't in. He doesn't know what to do.

:lolabove:

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

What time is the game?

 

[IPorange]

wait wtf. you guys beat KU and UK ranked 13 and you get a 6??? how is that fair that sucks ass for sdsu. this is so gay im pissed

Welcome to our world.

 

[Heebs]

Wouldn't go that far.

Wake was absolutely awful down the stretch. Just terrible.

 

[VolBuck24]

Wake was absolutely awful down the stretch. Just terrible.

True. I just like Wake, but i do agree that Va Tech should be in somewhere.

College GameNight on ESPN just completely ignored Tennessee, analyzed every game in the Midwest with the exception of SDSU-UT.

Yep. I watched the whole show just for our breakdown. Oh well.

 

[VolsRule]

CBS already picked SDSU to upset UT.

 

[OrangeUTopia]

They say conf. tourney's count. TN got blasted by KY in semi's and dropped to a 6th seed.

Syracuse losses their final game - then loses in first round of conf. tourney - and they go from a first seed to a first seed and get to play the opening two rounds in NY.

What was it they said about conf. tourney games?
