Here we go again... LAST IN: Kentucky, Boise St, La Salle, Middle Tennessee. FIRST OUT: Virginia, Ole Miss, Alabama, Tennessee.

Bad part: UT behind Boise, La Salle, MTSU (i'm skeptical) and UVA. All of these teams aren't playing anymore, so no losses can bump UT above these guys. UT can hope for Bama and Missy losses though.

Not just saying this because it's bad for Tennessee, but this is laughable. There's absolutely no way a loss to Bama should drop us 6 spots.

He still insists on having Virginia ahead of us, and now he's got Bama ahead of us just from beating us.

Just my 2 cents here: that's a ****ing joke. We're somewhere between 2nd-to-last team in and 2nd team out. Virginia is way the **** out, don't get why Lunardi keeps them around. And Bama is about where they should be, only they shouldn't be ahead of us.

Show me the bad losses and SOS of Virginia, MTSU, Ole Miss, and Bama. Now show me ours. Thank you.

I don't understand how lasalle lost today and moved up, Boise lost first game and stays in. We go 1-1 and 8-10 down the stretch and we fall this far.

Lol at acting like what that guy says is the gospel. Virginia is far out and none of those teams are above us. His last bracket is the one that's decent, but before that, he's clueless.

I agree. I think the Vols still have a great shot if Bama and Ole Miss lose their next games. I don't know what Lunardi is looking at.

The bubble stuff is so reactionary, and hardly makes sense. My theory is that the committee, whether they admit it or not, really put emphasis on your performance in conference tourneys. How did you get your last loss? Did you beat any solid teams in conf tourney? How cmpetitive was your last game?

A loss to Bama will underwhelm.

He almost always nails the teams that will get invites. He may get the seeds twisted every year, but he's usually accurate on who gets in.

Maybe he'll change his tune in a day or so.
