Official Seed List Watch Party Thread

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Alabama 1, Kansas 4, Texas 5, Arizona 6... We have three great wins

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Vols 3 seed.. 9 overall

 

[TheMookieMonster]

3-seed. Interesting. I like that region we’re in. But those Q2 losses are really hurting our resume.

Just now on the CBS March Madness tournament preview, they asked the Committe Chair about the Big 12.

"What do you do in a situation where the Big 12 could have 10 teams that are all worthy of being in the tournament?" They even emphasized Oklahoma as an example.

Meanwhile, the current Big 12 standings, uh ... i dunno, lol. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Jamie Dixon vs Rick Barnes in the second round is kind of funny since both are infamous for NCAA tournament underperformance

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Vols are not 2 seed...

Agreed. They wouldn’t make it past the 2nd round with the pressure.

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Vols 3 seed.. 9 overall

With the remaining schedule, I’m guessing a 4 seed.

That's what I'm guessing too

It will benefit them being a 4 seed. Less pressure.

I want a 3 but without JJJ and Phillips we gonna lose some more

 

[Rocky Top Raby]

We are a 3 staring down the barrel of a 4

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Most confusing team perhaps of Barnes entire Tennessee coaching tenure.

Agree on that. However, Parrish has been down on us in his poll pretty much all year, so this is validation for him. Six sub 35 NET losses, but three top 10 NET wins. Crazy year.

Yeup. Goal number 1 is to get healthy. Then I’m confident we can string together some wins and worry about seeding again

Kansas was down 17 and won by 16 against Baylor. I would give an arm and a leg for an offense that explosive.

Our defense was the reason we beat that Kansas team but ok.

Wow! You’re right. I didn’t realize it was an either/or situation. Who would want an offense that can score points? That must mean I don’t want us to play any defense at all.

Whatever man.

Getting tired of these stupid posts about wanting to trade our elite defense for an elite offense

 

[Dougie_D]

My guess is that we end up #12-14 overall down to a 3/4 seed.,

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Whatever man.

Getting tired of these stupid posts about wanting to trade our elite defense for an elite offense

Where in my post did I say I would trade our defense for offense? I said I wanted a better offense.

I am honestly just dumbfounded by how the notion on this board that we would like a better offensive product is always met with such hostility.

I mean, we all would like a better offense but a lot of reason why we won 20 games is because of elite defense.

We don’t beat Bama, Kansas, or Texas without it

If they both met in the second round they would just have to both forfeit. Whoever was on the other side of the bracket would just be rewarded a win and move on. Both of those coaches probably book their family vacations for mid march.

 

[VolCalls]

Due to avoiding rematches and same conferences this stuff happens all the time.

We aren’t gonna be the two in Alabamas region and probably not Kansas’s either although that’s possible.

Correct. One of their rules is that the first four teams selected from the same conference have to be placed in different regions, so we can’t be with Bama. Texas can’t be in the same region as Kansas, Arizona can’t be with UCLA, etc.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

New bracketology has us a 3 seed in Greensboro playing Hofstra, and getting the winner of Duke vs Oklahoma State. So Duke a 6 seed gets Greensboro? What a shock. That's the ultimate screw job.
