Lets not get to excited since Lunardi isn't the one who will decide TN fate. After today's loss, they have zero room for error and must win the next 2 games. Play like they did today and its 0-2. Play like they did vs FL and they could be dancing. Hope the right team shows up this coming week.

Trae golden needs to show up. You can't go 0-11 from the field and expect to win many games, and mcrae can only take us so far. He needs help.

I can. The players don't need to. If we could've gotten that Georgetown win, I think we're in right now provided we don't lose our last two and go one and done in the SEC tourney.

Martin has to get the team out of the gates quicker next year in the months of Nov-Dec so we're not scrambling for the third year in a row.

Agreed. If everyone stays healthy next year, the season will be a disappointment if we're in the bubble team conversation. I expect us to be playing for higher seeding in Feb.

UT caught a huge, huge break today.

No doubt about it. Sometimes you need luck.

This is all such BS, the talk about "we're back in the tournament picture" and we're one of the "last four out". Lunardi and ESPN are to be applauded for their great marketing skills at making this so believable. :clap: Everyone believes that Lunardi has some kind of secret passage into the selection committee's mind and knows what is happening instant-by-instant. None of this can be proven and yet everyone believes it! :lol:

Ditto. It's all speculation now, even Joey Brackets at this point. Losing yesterday decreased our margin for error. Bad loss. Still say we gotta win last 2 and 2 SEC tourney games to feel good about it.

Wait, what? The experts on VN said we were NIT bound for sure!

They have been trumped by the "experts" at ESPN who positively knew we were one of the last four out on Saturday morning, and then after losing we are the last team in.

Lunardi: He has everyone wanting to buy his bottled air! The great thing about all of this is that no one can prove him wrong!

The f??? I think Lunardi is smoking something. Surely there are other at large teams ready to take our place...

UK may have a better record but not near the out of conference wins that we have.

Take a look at their OOC resume verse ours.

True, but then why did each losing to Ark/UGA change that for Lunardi? UK was in and we weren't before those two games.

I agree with you guys, but it doesn't make sense from Lunardi's previous bracket.

I don't see us beating Mizzou.

Have you seen the way Mizzou plays on the road? If we were going there I would agree. But with them coming to Knoxville I feel good about our chances against them. I Wouldn't be surprised if UT is favored in that game by a point or two.

Didn't the announcers for the game even say UT needs to make it to the SEC champ game now..
