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

Somehow I don’t think they’d bring out the ladders for us to do it. Zakai might have to sit on Aidoo’s shoulders .

Or, we could beat USC Jr tonight then smoke Kensucky in the rematch and cut them down as the first #1 seed in program history?!?!

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

As he, himself, explains it, it's a measure of the deviation between a team's actual winning percentage and what one would expect from its game-by-game efficiencies.

As explained by a Reddit contributor, it is essentially flipping a quarter 100 times (a 50/50 proposition) and it landing on heads 60 times. You'd call that a lucky quarter. "Lucky" teams win more games than you'd expect them to based on their statistical profile over a season. In an infinitely long season, every team would have a luck figure of "0" as those factors would balance out over a long period of time.

Jajuan Smith landed the Knox Catholic head coach job.

Does he teach there too?

Don't know. I wouldn't think so.

Good stuff. Thanks for that!

Man, now I need to see this.

So who's gonna start the game thread since YankeeVol seems to be absent? We're 2-0 with rogue game threads

Speaking of championships, Fulton enters the 3A State Championships as the defending champion and 32-2. I'm predicting back to back championships for Jody Wright and my Fulton Falcons.

Game bourbon tonight….Weller 12

Death, taxes and Rick Barnes winning revenge games.

Sometimes I forget that these two weren’t actually teammates. Lol.

HAHAHAHA eff Bruce Pearl

HAHAHAHA eff Bruce Pearl

Someone kept the receipts

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Might as well kick Kentucky's ass again.

 

[Chaz-Vol]

Vols beat Kentucky then SECT probably doesn't matter at all. Lose to Kentucky then might need to one 1-2 in the tourney for the 1 seed especially if Arizona wins theirs.

“I want to play on a Monday. That’s Saturday.”

Unfinished business.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Yet another extremely impressive team effort and performance. We've turned a corner over the last few games, and it seems like this team has a really good understanding of their own strengths and weaknesses. This has been a great season so far, and we're lucky to see such high quality bball on Rocky Top.

Now, we just need to sweep the Cats, don't get injured in the SEC tourney, and make a run in the NCAA. Looking forward to the weeks ahead. GBO!!!

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Lady Vols play tomorrow in the SECWT at 2:15 on the SEC Network. Let’s keep it rolling.

Context: Bruce Pearl said in the postgame press conference after we beat them if he’d be voting for Dalton Knecht.

He said he’d vote for the best player on the SEC Champion.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I know it’s a postseason sport, I know what we do in March “matters”, and I know we’ve had our historic troubles in March; but don’t let anyone downplay what this team accomplished in this gauntlet.

 

[tev.sm]

Its still really early, but this season is starting to track similarly to the 2018-2019 season with Grant, Admiral, Bowden, Kyle Alexander, and Bone. They finished 15-3 in the SEC back then to win a share of the regular season title. We're currently 14-3, and won the regular season title outright.

I think if this team can find a way to also win the SEC Tournament championship and make it past the Sweet 16, then this team could measure as the best team in the CRB era.
Its still really hard to put this team above that 2018-2019 team though, that team holds a special place in TN history, given the transformational player development, growth, leadership, and balanced offense with that starting five under CRB.

Josiah and Santiago, the two most under appreciated players in history by some individuals..
