[TheMookieMonster]

Round of 32 exit.

 

[smokey58]

I believe sweet 16 . Go Vols

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

I’ll vote tomorrow evening

Me too

I don't think the ZZ injury really impacted the ceiling of this team but it does lower floor.

Right now, I'd say Sweet 16. Might reconsider when I see Potential R32 matchup...

 

[CornbreadVol]

Ceiling is probably elite 8, floor R64

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

You can now change your vote. I might switch it back on Monday.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

If we are a 5 seed, it will be an upset loss in R64.

 

[Kicker82]

Depending on draw and seed…I think this team is sweet 16 bound if we get a 4. Could be one and done at a 5.

 

[DowntownVol]

My general feeling is another second round exit, but it all depends on the draw.

 

[TMvol10]

Really hard to see this team doing much damage without ZZ. He impacts the game so much on both ends. I said 1-1 but if the round of 32 opponent lacks perimeter quickness (like we do now) we can win that one too.

 

[hUTch2002]

If we are a 5 seed, it will be an upset loss in R64.

13 seeds are just as dangerous as 12 seeds now. The 5-12 thing isn’t as much of a thing anymore because the teams that used to get those 12 seeds now get better seeds.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

With as much parity as there is in NCAA this year, a 15 seed or two might even advance. Have there ever been two in one tourney?

 

[walkenvol]

I think 1-1 is most likely as we seem to be limping to the finish line with all the injuries after running really strong for the first 2/3’s of the race. Real shame this group couldn’t have stayed healthy to see how well they could have done. Hopefully they surprise us and make it to the second weekend!

 

[vols 30]

1-1.

ZZ was a massive piece to this team. Losing him was doom for the Vols. It's like the Bulls losing Lonzo Ball. ZZ just a little guy...but was critical to teams success. Can't believe this team was ranked #2 in the country at one point. An embarrassing collapse.

Lonzo Ball!!?!
No no no … they use a basket ball in the NCAA.

Basketball <—

Is a lonzo a prize in some cheetos bag?

 

[Volfan1000]

If we get a favorable region and consistent offense, I have this team making a Sweet 16 run.

[RockyTopTexas]

As a 4 if we have to play a 13 Furman…… ouch like ouch ouch.. we prob lose imo

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Their elite defense got shredded by Mizzou, I am feeling one and done

 

[Vols till I fall]

I feel sweet 16 vibes. Of course this is difficult to say without knowing that match-up, but I think Tennessee has been playing good recently without ZZ. Yeah, we lost to Missouri but we didn't play bad and they are a good team

Tennessee hs to learn to finish games.

What are you talking about? There were two upsets just last year. How many 12 seeds have won in March Madness? History of 12 vs. 5 upsets, statistics for NCAA Tournament
