Player Reactions to Vols Seeding

[Jonboy]

Everyone pretty much agrees that we got snubbed so now it's all about how our guys react. Here are a few tweets from Wes Rucker that give us some insight into what they are thinking. Obviously, actions speak louder than words, but at least it's a start.

"Scotty Hopson said he hopes the Vols win a national championship and send CBS's Seth Davis a ring to thank him for motivation."

"Bobby Maze noted the humor in CBS's Seth Davis picking UT to lose in the 1st round when UT beat Kansas and Kentucky on CBS."

Maze: "Maybe that dude wasn't watching his own channel that day."

Brian Williams: "A 5 would have been a little off, but I could see that. But a 6? Man, that’s crazy."

Thanks... Come on Vols, I know we can make a run!

I like the motivation by our Vols.

If Scotty's motivation stems from what one analyst thinks about them, then we have some problems.

Hopefully this motivates the team, it seems like they have to have things to motivate them to play well.

If that's the case then I will pay analysts on the side to talk smack about Scotty if it will fire his ass up. Nothing else seems to

Always so negative around here... Any extra motivation is good in my book.

Scotty tweeted: A 6 seed?!?!?!?
Pat Forde tweeted back: Best not to give committee 29-point loss as last memory.

What was there to clap about?

sad, but true. It's "not supposed" to affect seeding, but it will.

Quit the bell aching regarding the perceived snub. The last 2 wks of the season weigh heavily on the seeding and UT had two good wins against UK and MSU and two bad losses against UK and UF.

Talk is cheap, go out and do it.

There would still be a pretty high risk on your investment.

The only way to overcome a bad seed is to go win the games one at a time. This Vol team is very hard to predict but they do seem to do well as an underdog. As far as Hopson is concerned he has been a major disappointment. He is capable, but seems to be undisciplined and loses focus. Might bring him off the bench again to see if that helps him. His shooting was awful during the SEC tournament.

Bobby Maze: "What do u do when your back is against the wall, when everyone is doubting you and your team u prove them thats the only thing on my mind"

 

[KingNick865]

The team looked like they collectively gave a WTF at the selection committee.

I really hope he meant "prove them WRONG" :dance2:

I guess that explains why Florida and Minnesota get in and Mississippi st doesn't.

I made the mistake of watching ESPN ignore us when assessing the Midwest bracket...anyone have a link to the team's reaction on the CBS Selection Show?

Minnesota doesn't get in if they don't make that run in the Big 10 tournament

And, this just furthers the argument that conference tournaments should just die a quick and swift death. The Ivy League is the only conference that does it right.

I say stop crying you damn babies, and prove your worth on the court.
