Yea, they didn’t matter in 2022 either when we won the tournament. But looking back at the data and last year’s top 16 reveal, UNC never lost another game until their conference finals. They were already locked into the 4th before that. We lost another one in the regular season although we did beat beat several ranked teams.They matter when Tennessee loses, but not when Tennessee wins. Try to keep up.
Last year’s baseball team:Individuals spewed the same nonsense about tanking the SEC tournament in baseball last season. Save your arms, get them rest yada,yada,yada.
Well Vols won SEC tournament and then took the National Championship, shows how much arm chair fans really know...
Do you think you know better than the coaches - for them to take it easy and not try to win the thing? I 100% guarantee the coaches aren’t thinking that, and neither are the players.Because the big prize starts the next weekend.
And our lack of depth wants me to have them maximize their rest and get their legs back under them.
Cal has explicitly said he was thinking that in some of the years at UKDo you think you know better than the coaches - for them to take it easy and not try to win the thing? I 100% guarantee the coaches aren’t thinking that, and neither are the players.
Would you say the same thing if this were football - skip the SEC Championship Game vs Alabama, per se, in order to be rested for the CFP?
Usually in New Jersey or New York if they play in the East bracket. I fi believe though Duke played in FF in Charlotte the year Arkansas won the title. Grant Hill led that team in the final...I could be incorrect though.I don’t believe Duke has ever played in a regional held in the state of North Carolina.
If fans didn’t care and it’s nothing more than an exhibition the ticket prices wouldn’t be what they are and the seats wouldn’t be full every session.Remember that time we won the SEC tournament and it didn’t improve our seeding any?
The committee mostly finalizes brackets on Friday. They don’t admit it, but years of evidence shows that is true.
The simple fact is, if the totality of the SEC Tournament games mattered for March Madness seeding, fans would care a lot more about what happens in this tournament.
But this nonsense basically makes it an exhibition
You are correct - Charlotte hosted the FF in 1994. My point was that the idea Duke gets placed in a regional every year right in their backyard is false.Usually in New Jersey or New York if they play in the East bracket. I fi believe though Duke played in FF in Charlotte the year Arkansas won the title. Grant Hill led that team in the final...I could be incorrect though.
Actually, Tennessee baseball started off 4-5 in conference play, which caused some angst. They did right the ship and went 18-3 thereafter, but not dominant the first third of conference play.Last year’s baseball team:
Tons of talent
Dominant throughout the season
Deep team with high quality players
This year’s basketball team:
Tons of talent
Wildly inconsistent on the court
Only have 9 scholarship players and do not go deep in the bench
Apples and oranges comparison
Never said I knew better than the coaches. Just giving my opinion in a fan forum.Do you think you know better than the coaches - for them to take it easy and not try to win the thing? I 100% guarantee the coaches aren’t thinking that, and neither are the players.
