Well Rutgers leap frogged Vanderbilt (79th) and Colorado (76th) for the 75th spot so we are currently sitting at 6-7 now in Quad 1.

Win this weekend and make it to the finals in the SEC tournament and it will work itself out. Do that and we push for a 2 seed, if not we are a 3 seed. Just IMO

This would be pretty big, would go a long way to further cement Vols on the 3 line.

Is TCU seriously going to beat TTU and Kansas (x2) three straight games? Going to be huge for them (and us) if they pull this game out.

Not really any very meaningful games of interest today. Really just some teams inside the top 75 who with a loss could help Colorado and Vandy get back in Q1 range. Toledo, Utah St maybe Missouri St. But none of those are given good odds

Vols did move up a spot in the NET to #8 over Kansas after their close win over TCU

I saw Lunardi has us in a region with Duke today

I wouldn’t mind being the team to end Coach K’s career

After scrolling Twitter and the Arkansas message board, I’m pissed off and actually ready to physically whoop their whining little a**es Saturday!! They’ve been spoiled and think they’re the king of the mountain in college basketball rn... TBA better be turned up to 10 as soon as they walk in the building. Tired of hearing their mouths yap

Me either, but we'd have to beat them by double digits to take the officials out of the game. No chance an official wants to be on the end of a call in a close game that ends K's career. They will get every benefit possible from the stripes.

They're an interesting bunch. Not much in the way of accomplishments in basketball over the past 25 years (and they haven't been nearly as relevant/successful as Tennessee during that time), but they very much act like their program is one of the blue bloods.

A win would be nice.

Here's a thought exercise. Let's assume for a minute that we are a 3 seed, and that the committee doesn't put us in a region with either Kentucky or Auburn. Actually, even if we get a 2, it just means we push 1 of these teams down, so I don't think it changes much.

Pick 1 team from each pool to form the best region to land in.

Pool 1 (likely 1 seeds): Gonzaga, Baylor, Arizona

Pool 2 (likely 2/3 seeds): Kansas, Duke, Wisconsin, Purdue, Villanova, Texas Tech

For me, I don't want to be anywhere near Gonzaga or Duke. I'd also rather not play Purdue again (painful memories). Kansas, Wisconsin, and Texas Tech don't scare me at all. So I would take any of those 3 and I guess Arizona.

He has Kentucky and Auburn in the same region. Surely he's aware that won't happen. Assuming his bracketing is generally in-line with the seed list, Duke is behind Kentucky who I would imagine would prefer the Chicago region and can't be in Philly w Auburn anyway. So I'd guess they'd get Chicago, Duke would go to Philly. I think the odds of Tennessee being in Duke's region are probably low since Auburn/Kentucky will probably get Philly/Chicago where we wouldn't be able to go, and Duke has a higher likelihood of being in one of those two.
