*****Vols get #5 seed in NCAAT; play Oregon State

Oregon State is a hot team right now. I watched their game versus Colorado last night and they definitely have some good athletes. I feel we should win, but I believe it will be tougher than some may think. I’m possibly doing a graduate program at Oregon State next year, so a little bragging rights would be nice, haha.

Yeah, and I watched Oklahoma State get blown out by Kansas. There is no reason for Tennessee to be afraid of them... but read some these posts gushing over Cunningham. It is nauseating.

Our guys won’t be afraid of anyone. But, I’m not on the team. I am a fan. I personally am not happy about that matchup. It’s a super tough draw, especially since OK state is playing their best ball of the season and just beat Baylor.

I think beating OSU and OSU to make the S16 would be quite an accomplishment knowing what we know, now about this team (not what we thought we knew 5 months ago). This team has flaws that we just can't overlook. We don't have to like it, but unfortunately, it is what it is. F4 is a extremely optimistic. Not impossible, but not realistic.

This is pretty much how I feel right now. A lot of our fans are still looking at this team under the microscope of what was our pre-season expectations. The sad fact is we’ve seen 26 games from the Vols and the most common theme here is we are just so so so inconsistent. Hard to feel confident in our path to the E8 when in order to get there you have to play exceptional basketball for 3 straight games, something this team is allergic to.

One thing I think will help is the tough matchups, our guys will be locked in so we shouldnt have to worry about them showing up.

Oregon State beat Colorado to win the tourney. Beat Stanford and UCLA when the Bruins were playing well. This could be a sticky matchup.

They were predicted last in pac12. That's the talent they have. We should be favored by 14. They shoot 3s around 30%.

We have a talent and experience edge on Ok State. Probably equal in size if not also an advantage there. Cunningham doesn't have a ton of support, and hopefully we can take away what support he does. Probably not going to stop him but we can stop the rest of the guys.

Agree; I can remember Dale Ellis, Tony White, and Alan Houston teams.

Yeah, another problem; do we have that guy that can hit the big shot with 1 second left on the clock? You need that at this time of the year.
