[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

My BVS aside, Purdue would have been the better matchup for us. With that being said…Puck Furdue.

Purdue has gotten totally screwed by the refs at the end of this and I couldn’t be happier about it.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

You deserve to lose with that defense.

That was a crotch kick to Purdue fans. I kinda like it.

 

[Jonboy]

On the plus side....tickets should be cheap!

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Houston it is, hopefully we can hit at a high % gonna be tough to get many good looks.

 

[99gator]

First to 40 wins

 

[Volprofch05]

Cougars it is

Not a coach in the country who deserves that than Matt Painter. Very dislikable human being.

Cinderella was not invited to this year’s dance.

3, 1 vs. 2 seeds and a 1 vs. 3

All ranked in the top 10

Y’all will destroy TT.

The chalkiest of chalk this year.

We’re 3-3 against the other remaining elite 8 teams

We’re 3-3 against the other remaining elite 8 teams

Unless I’m mistaken, Houston is 1-3 (split with TTU, lost early to Burn and Bama)

 

[99gator]

At this point,I think 3 of the final four will be from the sec.

Before the tournament started, I liked Michigan state over Auburn and Houston over Tennessee.

I think both Auburn and Tennessee win

Auburn has played 5 of the 8 remaining teams. Really 5 of 7 because you can’t play yourselves.

And when they play Michigan State it will be 6 of the 7

I'd love to see Sparty send Pearl home, but I kinda suspect they won't have the firepower to get the job done vs Auburn. With Houston vs UT, both have tremendous defenses, but I think Houston has more offensive weapons than we do plus ours can run hot and cold, and that carries the day for the cougars. Regardless, this UT team has overachieved. Season has been a rousing success from my point of view. Playing with house money from this point on.

I may have been watching through orange colored glasses, but both UH and Purdue had more open/uncontested looks than I imagine they’d get vs UT. At least I hope….

 

[Flogballs]

(no homer) I like the Vols +3.5

 

[DeepPurpleFloyd]

Dear Jack Johnson, Houston just came all over the back and refs give them the ball. smh

May I remind you that this is a family-oriented site!

 

[WarDamnVols]

Both my teams beat two teams I don’t like, by the exact same score, to each advance to their 3rd Elite 8 in school history. Awesome.

 

[omghulkhands]

If you ever doubted the accuracy of KenPom…

The Elite 8 were all inside the KP top 9 to end the season.

 

[Voltopia]

LOL never change, ESPN. Never change.

This may be the first time I say this regarding a Barnes’ offense, but I actually think I trust our offense more than Houston. I know their efficiency is a bit higher than ours, but I think we have more weapons than they do, more options to lean on if someone is having an off game.

It seemed to me last night that Purdue got a fair amount of open shots. They just got pounded on the glass
