Vols open as a 9 point Fav over OSU

[JohnWardForever]

Whew that's a bunch!

Tennessee will pound some Beaver

 

[1985Vols]

Should win by at least 9 points

LOL, nice!

The only thing that bothers me is that the 5 vs. 12 bracket has been deadly for many a 5-seed in past ncaa tournaments.

Vols win by 9, 74-65. Vegas knows what they are doing

That looks like 11 to me if you are correct!

Was the PAC-12 that terrible? These guys won the tourney, right?

The PAC 12 was not great but Oregon State is on a roll. Beat ranked Colorado to win it. Theyve won 6 out of their last 7, including Oregon twice (and a third time earlier in the year), UCLA and a nice win against USC earlier this year too. We should win, but anyone automatically penciling us into the second round has forgotten how inconsistent we are and hasn't looked at Oregon States resume.

Tennessee wins 75-67

Don't think Oregon State is that good. Not that this will stop us having another bad game and losing to them. Just that I'm more worried about us going cold than I am Oregon State being some mighty Cinderella team.

Im late seeing this but HUH? That ain't Lebben.

Colorado is probably the most at-risk 5 seed

 

[ru4real-really?]

some people don't do math good

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We should win. Oregon State isn’t great, although they are playing solid at this moment. My biggest concern, as others have stated, is that we could win by 30 or lose by 10. You just never know which Tennessee team is going to show up at any given moment.

If we’re firing on all cylinders, we could be up by 15 at the half. If we have one of our characteristically anemic offensive performances, than this thing is going to be a barn burner all the way till the end.

 

[golfballs]

They play awful 2pt defense

 

[golfballs]

We have a 1-3 all time record vs Oregon St. Last time we played was part of a home and away series with them in the 1990 and 1991 seasons, losing both.

I heard that Auburn was the only 5 seed to beat a 12 in the 2019 NCAAT.

 

[Roustabout]

If we beat OSU we likely get to play OSU.

 

[VolsSince78]

If we beat OSU we likely get to play OSU.

And we could meet OSU in the Final Four if we can beat OSU and OSU and then win two more.

I don’t think Oregon State sees the type of D they will see Friday. Vols win
