Well, I’ve been a proud casual fan since the Don Devoe era and have never wavered even during some truly bad years. So I love the fact that we can argue the worthiness of the Vols as a top 10 team. We’ll get our chance against SC to prove the metrics are right or wrong.

Glad you admitted it. "SC is far and away the best team in the SEC" is a statement a casual fan would make

The problem is you don’t need a metric to look up SC’s schedule to see they didn’t play the same strength of schedule as us…it’s just being willfully ignorant at this point to not do a google search.

Head to head they whipped our tails at home. Hope we take our strength of schedule with us on the road because we didn’t have it that night.

Posting the sec standings when there is 8 games left to play in conference is again another casual take…this is borderline trolling at this point

Using metrics and strength of schedule to cite why one team is still better than the other after losing head to head plus trailing in the league standings is pure homerism. How come our metrics and SOS didn't help against Chicago-Loyola, Michigan and FAU? Point is, the eye test is often a better measure of the capability of two teams. So far, TN is looking like the same old thing we've seen from years past with less balanced scoring.

Did we have a lead at all that game? The final score was close thanks to some DK heroics but SC physically whipped our tails in our own living room.

I hope we do lose every game left on our schedule.

I agree we suck at everything, Rick Barnes is the worst coach ever not sure why more ppl do not listen to Clad in Big Orange on this.

It’s obvious he has researched this intensely with his eyes. Regular season losses matter the most, not sure why everybody else doesn’t understand this viewpoint. Doesn’t matter that there is 8 games left to play because we suck

8 is very generous. I agree with others saying this team just isn’t great. SC is far and away the best team in the league. Afraid we have a few more butt kickings left to endure in the regular season.

Good Lord. That comment is not even worth a discussion. Sometimes I wonder if some folks have ever seen a basketball game much less played it.
