Its full of negativity. There are very few people who are rather happy with the team right now. Maybe I am wording it wrong. But it feels like there is alot of major dissapointment right now. The fact that the vols are even thought about getting a bid tommorrow should make us bouncing off the walls right now, not to mention we are going to be a 4 seed. We should be doing some endless partying right now cause of this team. Yet everyone thinks we are sitting ducks in the tourney and have very little shot no advance. But thats just my observation, please, flame away.

I know what you mean. It is a little weird the way most of us are completely shocked at our success, yet feel a sense of impending doom. I think I agree with you though. We just need to celebrate what a great day tomorrow will be and just sit back and see what happens.

we can only hope right? personally i hope we get wisc-millwuakie in the first round. I feel that game would get more coverage then any other in the tourney's first round.

Ok but this is what I really want to know. how far are you willing to put tennessee in your brackets? I will take them to the elite 8 if the draw is right.

I was thinking that too. But I think we may only get to the 16 spot. I hope we go further, but that's my realistic side thinking.

i think them or uab. both games would crack the 100's on both sides. yeah great point, i guess i wouldnt want to play them, but I am willing to bet 5 bucks we play them the first round.

I agree I mean at the beginning of the year I could not imagine this. I was just hoping to be competitive...I am so proud of this team and the future is as bright as can be..Buzz left the Cupboard bare and Coach Pearl still got 21 wins out of this team. I don't doubt they are tired so forgive them and let us support for the rest of the season and look forward to the future...By the way give CBP 2 or 3 Recruiting classes and there will be plenty of good times but I doubt that will ever SATISFY SOME!!!!!!!!! :mf_surrender: :mf_surrender: :mf_surrender: :mf_surrender:

and think about this. to get to the sweet 16?? seriously??? think about we were hoping maybe a nit bid, maybe a win in the nit. now we are serious contenders to run into the sweet 16. Life for a vol fan cant get much better to say the least.

If I were a Vol fan I'd be elated with this hoops season. Sure you're disappointed with the SEC tourney, but everything here on out is topping on the cake! :wavey:

Exactly . . . You would have been completely ignored if you had posted 3 months ago predicting a 20+ win season and #4-#6 seed in the NCAA tournament.

...says the guy that was quiet relieved the Vols last yesterday...

didn't matter either way to me..I would have loved one more shot at UT though..both games were real close and could have went the other way..I did really want UK to win today though. Nothing like going for 5 in a row over them....also this will be the third straight SECCG appearance for the Gators..not bad.

comments like that dont bother me. I dont think anyone realistically thinks we can TAKE the tourney. But you can sure as hell belive we can win in the tourney. every team has its flaws. trust me, there are teams going into this tourney in WAY worse position then us.
