UT's chance at March Madness

[Volstylexx]

woohoo MSU holds on

 

[Vols2914]

Yesssss great job msu

 

[utfan72408]

Yes!!! Thank God for Sparty!

Big 'win' for us. Iowa is out of the conversation.

 

[utfan72408]

Iowa almost beat Michigan State, so IMO Lunardi should move them ahead of us.

Does any other game matter besides ole miss

Depending on where the committee has Oregon. They play Utah tonight.

I'm sure they're in. We don't need a random team like Utah to win a tournament.

Where is Iowa's coach from? he looks familiar but i can't place where i've seen him

We played his Siena team at Disney World back in November of 2008.

We need the Gators to beat Bama tomorrow, and then we need no bids to be stolen. For example, someone must beat Vandy.

You're a fool if you think Ole Miss can run away from Vandy. It took a 40ft shot at the buzzer for Ole Miss to beat Vandy 2 months ago and this ain't the same Vandy. They've won 6 of past 7.

And just who has Candy beaten worth a damn in those 7 games? Ky? That's it and it's arguable if they're even worth a damn. They've feasted on USCjr, Auburn, Miss St and marginal Ark and needed a miracle to beat UGA at home. If Ole Miss loses it won't matter. Candy doesn't match up with Mizzou just like they didn't with UT this year.

If ole miss loses, does the fact that we actually won a sect game give us any edge on ky and ole miss?

 

[OrangeBalls]

Pretty sure today's SEC games are on ESPNU back in Jax, for those who cannot find the Missouri game on a local channel.

EDIT: Actually, it looks like ESPNU only had the two afternoon games. I DVRed the Bama game, "our" semifinal, and the final. I'll delete them all when I get home. I rarely ever keep recordings of losses. I have the Mich. St. Elite Eight loss, and I think I still have the '08 SECT loss to Arky, because of the rarity of the event, and the fact that I made it into GT.

If you got into that game at GT then you were indeed lucky.

Haven't been on here since the game started.

I think we are in as long as ole miss losses.

Is that the vibe??

Doubtful. Miss St is bad. However, Vandy was 15-16 coming into the game with a bad rpi. You don't need bad losses this time of year. UT avoided one, Ky didn't.

Depends who you go by. I tend to agree with you, Lunardi has us way out now though for some reason

Ole Miss losing helps.

Need Maryland and Bama to lose tomorrow games...and need no bids stolen. Memphis win C-USA, Utah not winning Pac12, Vanderbilt not winning SEC

Those things happen and we've got a decent shot.

So who does lunardi do have as his last 4 in and out?

 

[Mullins2010]

Umass beating Temple is no good

 

[Vols2914]

Wait we need ole miss to lose but didn't ole miss beat us twice?? So how would we get ahead of them??

 

[utvolz98]

This should be fun

 

[AlwaysHomeToMeVol]

They played a bunch of high school teams in non conference.

 

[vol2013]

In: Boise, LaSalle, MTSU, and Ole Miss
Out: Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama, Maryland

SN: Haven't seen you in the baseball forum today, that was painful to watch today

Just saw the score. Not good

It shouldn't matter. The reason we got that win, and they didn't, was because we were seeded lower and thus had to play a Thursday game.

 

[BruinVol]

Mtsu got themselves a bid today IMO.
