• Georgia beat LSU at LSU, so they claimed the 3 seed in the SEC. Georgia placing 3rd overall. Who would have thought?

• Arkansas lost at Alabama today (83-53), so they are more on the bubble than ever. In the current SEC tournament setup, if Arkansas wins their first game we would play them next. We have to win that game. We can't lose to a bubble team or worse.

• I'm super pumped that we wipped Missouri. We are playing championship defense right now. Keep it up Vols and we can make a splash in the SECT.

Thoughts on SECT or anything related?

I'm seeing the team I expected earlier in the season.
They can play with anyone in the SEC if they keep showing up.

I like our chances against Arkansas.

If this is the real Tn we all thought we would see this year then they have a shot. I just hope the last 4 weeks have not been because the last 4 teams have been horrible and Tn was just this much better than these last 4.
Plus Tn best win on the road or a neutral court is LSU and Xavier. So that kind of has me worried.

Really would have preferred other side of the bracket, but honestly, no reason to be pu$$ies and worry about Arkansas. A team that just drilled Mizzou vs a team that got blasted by a s**t Alabama team. They almost always suck outside of Bud Walton. Vols by 25

We win at LSU, and on a neutral site to Xavier....what team will we be facing better than Xavier on a neutral floor?

Florida? At that point we're in the tourney.

all I said was Tn on a neutral court or away from TBA worried me and that our best 2 wins are LSU and Xavier and Tn has lost to some bad teams on the road.

Tennessee need not fear a game with Arkansas. We beat them in the regular season at a time when we were not playing that well. We are playing much better now than they are.

A&M is the only bad road loss, and Arkansas lost there, too. Vandy isn't easy no matter what team they field. I believe UF only beat them by 3 in Nashville, and Vandy also beat Mizzou at home.

you can spin Vandy ever how you want to but that is the worst Vandy team I have seen in years. Everybody gets up to play Ky,Fla no matter how good or how bad they are. Tn got up to play Fla at home and still lost by 9, does that make Vandy better than Tn because they only lost by 3 ? Im sure Fla was more prepared for Vandy than they were for Tn.?

Because neither team is a pushover and were road or neutral wins.

And yes, lots of teams that are better than KY lose in CorRupt. If we played KY in Rupp right now we'd beat them by 10+. If we played them twice a year like normal we'd beat them by 20 again in K town.

We haven't been this much better than any team we've played. Give the team credit for turning things around. I don't know how we will do in the tournament, but they have played great basketball the last three games. Continue with this level of play and we can absolutely beat Florida.

We have 5 wins away from bud walton this year

We had won 7 of 8 before the alabama game, with our only loss being by 1 point at missouri. Not sure what to expect from us now...hopefully we wont shoot 17% in the first half again though. I dont necessarily think the loser is automatically out of the NCAAT...our resume would still be better than a lot of bubble teams

First post since losing to Tennessee? Where'd ya go?!

Who currently projected by Palm or Lunardi in the field would your resume be better than with a loss?
