Duke is the worst 3 point shooting team in the tournament

Were we get to the final against them, I don’t think it’s the worst matchup we could have.

Zion is on a different plane though

Who do you put on a 6'5 RJ Barrett, or 6'5 Cam Reddish? Quite possibly is the worst matchup for a undersized team like us

The way you attack zion is to make him play defense. He's prone to foul. He's quick as a cricket so posting him up is difficult though.

Pomeroy ratings- Colgate is the best 15, Cincinatti is the worst 7, Iowa is the second best 10 (they have a bad defense, good offense). Cinci and Iowa are closely ranked. If it weren’t a virtual home game for Cinci, I might say Iowa pulls the upset

Villanova is the worst 6 and Purdue is the second best 3. We are nearly identical in rankings. If we end up facing them in the sweet 16, we are going to have to play nearly perfectly.

Yeah Purdue is a very similar team to us

Bowden on RJ and and Admiral on Zion.Cam is streaky but duke doesn’t produce enough without zion so get him in foul trouble and it’s a wrap.

Yea if Cam is off, and Zion is in foul trouble you got a win. I just think RJ is going to be a bad matchup the way he handles the ball. And what alot pf people don't talk about is how good of a defender Ty Jones is. Bone will have a long night

People like zion that know they have a vertical like to “Flex” it or show it off,that being said he will look to block anything first so pump fakes and putting zion in foul trouble is key.Cam doesn’t impress me really at all his only game I recall was against FSU.I’m not worried there.Bowden is our best defender I think and matches up best with RJ.Ty Jones is a good point guard like bone but make no mistake Bone is just as talented as a scorer and a defender.I like that match up a lot better than turner guarding him,personally I think he has no business being point guard especially in March,he gets careless.

If we win the national championship this year, does Matt Jones go on PAWL and own up to his "never in our lifetime" statement or does he never show his face again?? I'll take the latter.

Well, I’ve filled out 2 brackets. In one I have us losing in the NC game to Duke. In the other I have us losing in the sweet 16 to Purdue.

Turn your card in and take a lap. Update at least 1 of these 2 items and then your card will be returned to you. The updated bracket with a Vol championship must be signed and notarized.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter,
Vol Card Mgmt

He's the biggest name out there. Eyes tune in to see him not UT. You really expect UT to get whistles on that stage? Against Zion? Who plays for blueblood Duke?

I disagree that they haven’t anything to show for it, it’s not what they were probably shooting for, but they accomplished bringing new fans to the team and sport in last two years. I, and my family can be counted toward that.

That is true, but 20-30 years from now when your grandkids hear us talking about how we got to watch the best UT team ever..They will say...What did they win?

I really hope they get something to hang in the rafters out of the Dance, I think they deserve it.
