We should have had a revolt when we got a 3 seed

Instead we just accepted it. And this is our result.

There's literally nothing we could do but accept it lol. Can't do anything else. And it seems the committee was right

 

[BowlBrother85]

What do you think they should have done? What do you mean by "revolt"? And how do you know that the end result would have been any different as a 2 seed?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Just stop.

Your first part absolutely correct.

Your second isn’t remotely correct………this wasn’t even really subjective. Tennessee had clearly the better resume over Duke, and Auburn. They also had a better resume over KY but if one needed to split hairs there 2-1 head to head.

Tennessee got beat and the “seed” didn’t do it…….but simply losing that game in no way justifies the seed……the committee was not correct.

 

[Jackjon90]

Very simple. Vols outplayed and outcoached.

Even Arkansas got a better seed, look who they playing now.

Agree. But our fans tried to use the Kentucky loss to justify them not deserving the 2 seed they had. Can't have that go both ways and say one loss justifies while the other doesn't justify

Go do your homework

 

[stillwater5]

Well we can all pull for Auburn now, not.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

To lose, yes.

 

[AlcoVOLic]

You gotta win them all. No excuses. Bad draw but gotta win. Pretty much didn’t score for minutes at a time. Why Chandler wasn’t a shooting guard when it got desperate is head scratching. We could won. We didn’t. Coaching, poor play, a tough second round match up, doesn’t matter. Rough game and it’s over

No you can’t…….and that single Tx AM win shouldn’t have been any real deciding factor and it clearly wasn’t.

But almost all the metrics show Tennessee over the entirety was one of the top 8 teams.

 

[TNHopeful505]

Our seed had nothing to do with it. We could have been a one seed and lost to a 16 the way we shot the ball tonight.

My man…Exactly!!

I was also wondering why we accepted the game was over. We should have revolted on Twitter and demanded another 5 minutes of clock!

Tennessee should have been a 2 seed... and yet, they still would have either been beaten in the Round of 32 or in the Sweet 16. It's disappointing, but nothing new.

I love CRB and I love this team. Michigan took Santi out of the game and it worked. JJJ is always a one half player and he did his damage in the first half. Although I think a lot of CRB, he is definitely not a tournament coach. He should give the extra mil he earned for winning the SEC, etc back to UT as a gift. He really doesn't deserve the bonus based on what he's already paid

lol

As I have said today. Tennessee lost and the seed didn’t beat them. However we have no idea what “would” have happened, because it didn’t happen.

That is about the stupidest take I have ever heard.

 

[Vol49er]

Everybody debating whether it’s the coach’s fault or the players fault. Then here comes this theory that it’s the fans’ fault

 

[TrueOrange]

We should have just refused to take part in the tournament! Then we wouldn’t have had to feel disappointed like this right now!

 

[TrueOrange]

It’s certainly up there.

Based on the results of today, I don't see how we could complain about our seed #. Seems like the selection committee overrated us.

Based on Tennessee's complete body of work over the course of 33 games played during the regular season and the SEC Tournament, they should have been a 2 seed. Obviously, the selection committee did not include the SEC Tournament results when evaluating Tennessee. If conference tournaments don't matter, that's fine, but that should be clarified by the committee before teams such as Tennessee put the effort in to play 3 or more games in consecutive days, a week prior to the NCAA Tournament, when they already have an at-large-bid secured.
