Yeah, they let me out 2 days after our first round NIT loss. They couldn&#39;t take my yelling either. They did tell me to stay away from Buzz&#39;s house though. I was just trying to help him.

The Vols celebrated their first win over a team ranked 11th or higher since beating then-No. 7 Kentucky in February 2002.



It&#39;s about time.

For real&#33; I didn&#39;t know it has been that long. Maybe I blocked it out of my memory.

Ummm I know a guy named Scott Miller, but I don&#39;t think that is who you are talking about.

OK, I know who you are talking about now after checking out your link. I am just not familiar with his name.

A few more wins like that might keep Buzz around a little longer.

No, did you? Those big pics drive me nuts. I have to scroll half a mile to the right to read posts. But I like the Homer in the vol shirt.

Buzz said that he was going to give the practice jerseys back.

A few comments.

Buzz did a great coaching job in the first half and the players added to it with great intensity.

The players lapsed back into a &#39;lazier&#39; offense down the stretch, settling for outside shots instead of getting the ball into the paint. This is where I think Buzz should have stepped up and made sure the ball was going inside. However, if during the dry stretch in the 2nd half, if the Vols just hit 20% of the outside shots, the game is not even close.

A win over the #11 team in the nation, no matter how close, is big. And yes, this win helps when it comes tournament selection time. A few seasons ago, the Vols had a 17-11 record (9-7 SEC) but were out of the NCAA because the selection committee thought the Vols had a weak non-conference schedule. Buzz has beefed up the non-conf schedule, so if the Vols finish with 17 wins this season, they&#39;ll be in the NCAA tournament.

Currently at 9-6 overall, 2-1 in the SEC, the schedule shapes up like this...

The win last night was big because 5 of the next 6 are on the road, and the 1 home game is Kentucky ...

Jan 15 @ South Carolina
Jan 19 @ Florida
Jan 22 @ Louisville
Jan 25 Kentucky
Jan 29 @ Auburn
Feb 2 @ Vanderbilt
Feb 5 LSU
Feb 9 Alabama
Feb 12 Florida
Feb 19 @ Mississippi
Feb 23 South Carolina
Feb 26 @ Arkansas
Mar 2 @ Kentucky
Mar 5 Georgia

If the Vols just win their home games, they would have 15 wins. (They were 7-1 in SEC home games last season) 6 of their road games are winnable (South Carolina, Florida, Auburn, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, and Arkansas). If they are able to win just 2 of those, they&#39;ll have the 17 wins needed. A first round win in the SEC tournament only enhances their chances of making it to the NCAA tournament.

:dlol: I think that we still have a long way to go before that happens. I would settle for the NCAA tourney invite.
