Rooting guide for selection Sunday

[VolCalls]

Ok, Lunardi clearly stated last year if had UK won the conference tourney that they would have been the 2 seed. He completely contradicted the above statement lol. Not trying to argue but I remember it clear as day.

Lunardi isn’t on the committee.

Fair enough

We avoid toughest 13’s, 12’s and 5’s and drew best case 1 seed, not sure of the whining

Lousiana and Duke are both listed as "tough draws" on the original post

 

[sechamp2012]

CBS unanimously picked Louisiana to beat Tennessee. Only unanimous decision they’ve had.

That was Duke as a 6 seed, them moving up to a 5 changes that context. As for the 13 those were listed in order hardest to least.

Yeah that’ll be the hot upset pick.

Yeup. At some point in March you just have to beat good teams. Tennessee’s shown they can beat the best this year, just need to do it at the right time.

I agree, outside of the potential Duke matchup (blue blood), I think this is the easiest region to manage for any given team. Also, there’s no guarantee Duke gets by Oral Roberts. Just watch the games and hope for the best. That’s all you can do with this tournament anyways.

Tenn fan through and through but if Tenn fans complain about a 4 seed think about Vandy missing out with the same regular season conference recond. Their 2nd half was as good as Tenn’s 1st half.

Vandy didn’t beat Alabama, Kansas, and Texas.

Worst possible draw. Duke may be playing the best basketball in the country right now.

Well, on the positive side, our guys will go into the game wanting to earn respect rather than defend themselves against expectations. That'll help.

Through Jan 31: UT 18-3, Vandy 10-12

Feb. 1-present: UT 5-7, Vandy 10-2

Record vs Top 25: UT 5-3, Vandy 4-5

Also UT beat 2 #1 seeds & a #2 seed, as Paul Harvey said “ the rest of the story.”
& the 2 UT beat Alabama & Kansas have the highest odds to win it all per Vegas.

Surely Rick can use all this disrespect to motivate this team. This team should be pissed off and ready to embarrass ULL on Thursday night.

I’m actually less worried about the first game. We have proven we can go out and look like a top 5 team for 1 game. The part we struggle with is putting up multiple good performances in a row. We have the talent and potential to make it to the final 4 but we won’t havnt shown the consistency yet. Doesn’t mean we won’t, because the tournament never works out like that. All the to say I think we blow out ULL, but struggle in game 2.

Yep. Could have gotten aTms path. Sheesh.

Didn‘t say they should be a high seed, but winning 12 conference games in the SEC, 20 games overall, and finishing the season 10-2 deserves a bid. SEC should have gotten 9 teams in. Never a Vandy fan but Stackhouse did a great job this season.
The conference is stacking excellent basketball coaches to go along with football and baseball. What a league!
