True, but we're 3-4 since that game plus we've lost ZZ. The committee does look at how you finish along with key injuries. How much will they credit our wins and how much will they ding us for the losses of games and ZZ is hard to predict. I'm usually wrong and hope I am, but I have this sinking feeling we fall to that dreaded 5 seed. Just can't shake that feeling. Guess the BVS/nega in me runs strong in me right now.TN beat #1 in the country over the last 2 months.

Just read that Vandy is in the " Last 4 out" to make the tournament. They've won 10 of their last 11 games, beat Kentucky 2x. How can you exclude a team like that who seems to be peaking and playing their best ?
They’re still only 79 in the NET. I think they deserve it over Mississippi State, but it’s close. A win today and I think they’re in.Just read that Vandy is in the " Last 4 out" to make the tournament. They've won 10 of their last 11 games, beat Kentucky 2x.

You are correct. They have CONSISTENTLY made the tournament and failed to meet expectations once they got there.I’m delighted with the level of consistency that the UT hoops program has attained. This will be five straight NCAA appearances with the lowest seed being a # 5 while representing the university with clas and integrity. Coach Barnes, his staff, and the players deserve massive props for this level of consistency.
How do you seed a team that's peaked, lost 4 of their last 7 and also lost their starting PG? Works both ways and that's my concern Sunday.Just read that Vandy is in the " Last 4 out" to make the tournament. They've won 10 of their last 11 games, beat Kentucky 2x.

We were a 3 entering the conference tournament. Lunardi, the other bracketologists, and the committee itself all said last year that we didn’t get a bump as tournament champ because they don’t consider the tournament in bracketing. I realize they’re completely hypocritical but by their own logic last year, we’re a three seed.I argued with folks all day on this one—solid three-seed. Metrics say we're a 3. We've earned a 3. No one from behind us has done anything to bump us. Seven quad one wins. No quad 3 or 4 losses. Three top 10 wins (only Baylor can make that same claim). Two wins over top 5 teams (both will be one seeds).
