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

[VOLnVANDYland]

I agree! They make great Pets.

Any draw presents matchup challenges. I hope we don’t see these in our bracket:

Officials: Don Daily, Tony Greene, Chuck Jones

If so, Keon Johnson better bring pads.

 

[JohnWardForever]

Kiss of death. He’s never seen us play I guess. It’s been a long time since we’ve won a few in a row.

Yeah, old Clark has a history of picking winners-----NOT

Louisville, who didn’t even make the tournament, will end up getting rewarded with the spot of a #3 or #4 seed when either Kansas or Virginia fail covid testing and are deemed ineligible. Well done, NCAA Selection Committee. That may be the biggest F-Up you’ve ever managed to pull.

Yeah Wasn’t thought out at all

...which will make Louisville the top-seeded team from the ACC conference as well. It’s nice to see that the selection committee thought things through so thoroughly.

Illinois is the 1 seed I would want

Although a UM would have been okay as well. They haven’t been playing well lately. Let’s first take care of business Friday then we can worry about who we might play next.

 

[JohnWardForever]

If we play Oklahoma State, we can throw Gaines and James and Pons and Johnson and Springer at Cunningham.

Lol.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

It sure would be nice if Liberty could be the #13 that beats a #4.

 

[Orangeblooded615]

I honestly don't think it matters how good the teams we play are. It will come down to how we play. Even if we had an easier opponent, we could just as easily play down to that opponent as blowing a huge lead against a top opponent we were dominating.

 

[USAFgolferVol]

Give me Liberty, or give me death

No. We want Ok st

 

[TheMookieMonster]

No. We want Ok st

No, we really don’t.

 

[VOLED]

I’m not afraid of Oregon State, the rest of our side of the bracket is tough though. Oklahoma State will be difficult and if we do get past them I don’t think we have any chance against Illinois

Maybe not, but MO beat them.

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Anyone have a date and time? I’m not able to watch right meow

I hope there is no CATastrophe.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Typical Pat Forde. Talks about how tough the upper side of the bracket is for Illinois, but doesn’t even mention Tennessee. He sees Loyola and Ok State as big threats to the Illini, and of course picks us as his prime 5/12 upset.

It is comical how much the national media hates Tennessee in all sports.

 

[USAFgolferVol]

No, we really don’t.

They are our most likely opponent. Certainly I will pull for Liberty, but won't fret OK St as an opponent. No one in their right mind should

It's even more comical to hear UT fans bemoan that false narrative

If you think the national media is kind to Tennessee, or even neutral, you’re blind.

Shortly after learning its draw for the NCAA tournament, Tennessee opened Sunday night as a favorite for its opening game in Indianapolis. The Vols, who received a No. 5 seed in the Midwest Region, started off as a nine-point favorite for their first-round game against No. 12 seed Oregon State, according to opening lines in Las Vegas.

Oklahoma State has 7 losses.....about to be 8.

Pat Forde hates Tennessee because of Tennessee not hiring Greg Schiano. He's got a total hatred of Tennessee because of that.

 

[wmcovol]

They showed a stat earlier on Rutgers. 1-7 against ranked teams.

And I'm not sure you can hold non conference games against teams this year due to covid. I mean, you shouldn't, but the committee probably did anyway

Tennessee and other SEc teams played several. But trust me, nobody wanted to play Belmont OOC

You left out Pat Adams

Hope so. Just saw Joe Lunardi on ESPN. He said OK St was under seeded. He had them as the top #3 seed.
