Vols most likely a 10 loss team heading into NCAA tourney…

Gotta think we are looking at a 4 seed unless we can win out/win all but 1 of our remaining games.

I don’t know what’s wrong with James and Phillips, but I’d imagine things would largely depend on their ability to contribute

Tennessee is inconsistent because Tennessee is not that good. Good teams are consistent. Now, could they get hot and play well in the SEC tournament and NCAA tournament. Yes.

At this point I’d rather be 1 and done in the SECT and get some rest. We’ve made the semi’s or finals the last 4 SECT and it’s not paid off for us.

Weird team, they can beat or lose to anyone. I don't think they are going very far because of their up-and-down nature. Makes it hard to generate a win streak. They might upset a couple of ranked teams along the way.

Frankly, I'd sit JJJ until the NCAA's to insure he's healthy and ready to go. I barely care about the SECT.

And I also don't give a rat's ass what seed we are as long as we are healthy and rested going into the NCAA's. Bottom line - if we shoot well we can beat anyone in the country, and if we don't we are generally going to have a very hard time beating anyone in the tournament.

So you’re predicting Tennessee will lose at least 2 of its last 4 regular season games before losing in the SECT. That’s possible, but not a certainty.

Just as we overreacted to the Bama win, we’re gonna overreact to this loss. The truth is in the middle. Guessing Tennessee goes 3-1 to finish the regular season and wins a game in the SECT before losing. That’s 24-9. Probably a 3 or 4 seed.

I wish the SEC would wise up and finish the tournament on Saturday; after last year, I could care less about the tournament because it only impacts the teams fighting for their tournament life.

I don’t see a win on the Plains and AM has some weird mojo going since January. How that team lost to the likes of Murray State, Wofford and Colorado by 30 is beyond me.

You don't even have to stop those two--as they're not exactly 25 point scorers. They can get their points and we're still anemic because we have
/nobody/ else who is an even halfway dependable scorer.

If I'm Barnes, I'm reading the riot act to ON and Key--get your heads out of your shorts and start making some shots.

I’m disappointed w both of them. I honestly don’t think they can play well on any given night. Key is slow on defense and he consistently misses open looks, with the exception of last couple of games.
ON- he isn’t consistent and get beat in D, too. They do their best but unable to deliver consistency.

We are currently a 3 seed and would potentially play Kennesaw State in the Midwest Regional in Kansas City per Jerry Palm.

With how they've played overall the last 6 or so games, I see at least 2 Ls between A&M, Arkansas, and Auburn. Call me negative, whatever, but it's been garbage basketball in 5 of the last 6 and they eked out one of those because Auburn just happened to be more garbage that day.

I hate to think this way but we may be a 10 or 11 loss team. JJJ ankle probably keeps him out a few more weeks, tough schedule left and I have a weird feeling about the Phillips injury, It kind of reminds me after Hurd got yelled at by Jones in the Georgia game, he disappeared, Barnes got on Phillips hard at Vandy and some of these high star guys have trouble with hard coaching , hope I am wrong.
