No. USCjr can win out and TN could lose out.

Oh, sorry you're right. Basically tonight's game can decide the SEC regular season whoever wins will be the only team that can win it out right.

TN beats USCjr - TN wins outright

TN loses to USCjr, beats KY, and USCjr loses to MSU - TN wins outright.

TN loses both, USCjr beats MSU - USCjr is outright champion.

KY wins out, USCjr beats TN, USCjr loses to MSU - KY and USCjr are co-champions.

TN beats USCjr - TN wins outright (correct, we'd at worse finish 14-4 with everyone else at 5 losses already)

TN loses to USCjr, beats KY, and USCjr loses to MSU - TN wins outright. (right, 14-4 and South Carolina would have their 5th loss)

TN loses both, USCjr beats MSU - USCjr is outright champion. (they'd be 14-4 and everyone else would have 5 losses or worse)

KY wins out, USCjr beats TN, USCjr loses to MSU - KY and USCjr are co-champions. (actually we'd have a share at 13-5, but USC Jr. would be the 1 seed for SECT)

Yeah, for some reason I thought they had a 5th loss already.

13-5 is the worst we can finish, South Carolina's best can be 14-4... everyone else can't finish better than 13-5.

Easier way to explain is best possible record

Vols: 15-3 (2-0 to end season)
USCJr: 14-4 (2-0 to end season)
Auburn: 13-5 (1-0 to end season)
Bama: 13-5 (1-0 to end season)
Kentucky: 13-5 (2-0 to end season)

So just to be clear, we've already won at least a share of the regular season championship. But no one cuts nets for regular season titles, we will hang a banner though!

We quite literally cut down the nets when we were co champions a few years back

That’s what I thought, but couldn’t remember correctly. So would we cut the nets tonight or on Saturday?

Cut the nets down too in 2007-2008 with Pearl.

I'd think tonight. Would be weird to do it Sat if we lost.

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

Poor Alabama is tired

They finally decided to play some defense against us and it wore them out. I really believe that is why they missed some open three’s late in the game. Conditioning!

 

[bleedingTNorange]

I would think we’d wait until Saturday

After we beat Georgia at home? But when is the last time we won the regular season with a road win?

Cause I'm pretty sure in 2007-08 we wrapped it up when we beat Kentucky at home (after losing to Vandy on the road).

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Yup....wouldn't it seem a little classless to do it on SCs home floor?

Similar number on KenPom, as well. 3rd overall, there. Tennessee is 266th.

Any idea how that is configured? I honestly don’t have a clue

Not sure, was just saying that teams/us do indeed cut down nets for conference regular season champions.

Yes, but it would be hilarious too

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I’m not sure why we’d wait till Saturday to cut the nets down if we do win tonight. It is very possible we lose to Kentucky, which would make it weird to cut the nets down after a loss.

I would bet we do it tonight if we win. Especially after how USC Jr. jawed all game on our home floor when they beat us. I doubt we’re going to try and preserve their feelings.

I mean, I would assume we’d need their permission lol

No way UT cuts down the nets on an opponent’s home court.

I just don't think Barnes would want to do that. He's a classy guy. If the argument is "we might lose to Kentucky," then we could do it before the game as like a joint ceremony with Senior Night. They could make that pretty cool

And should imo. Players earned the fun.

KY would love for it to happen before the game.

I’ve always been told it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission. I say cut them down and have them send us the bill.

We bringing our own step ladder? Lol. Just seems like something that could cause a major issue/fight if we don’t have their blessing.
