No one has mentioned another team we'll lose to in the 1st round. If we play IL, we'll get beat.

I have an idea, how about someone name a team we've played well against in the 1st round of the NCAA under CBP? Lol, long beach st is all ya got? And even they put 80 or 90+ points on us.

There have only been 4. Not exactly a wealth of available data.

It's like touting a player shoots 75% for the season, when they only took 4 shots.

Highly unlikely that we lose to a 13 seed. I offered to take the other side of your bet.

I'm sure the OP would be predicting a Final Four run if UT came out with a victory.

Not at all, if I'm consistent, would I not call the win a fluke? I'm as level headed as they come my friend. ;-)

At what point did I bet anything? I said, "mark it down, we'll lose to IL in the 1st round..." Sounds more like a simple prediction than a bet?

No you said "who are we going to lose to in the 1st round"

"I think it's going to be Illinois"

you started this thread as "well, we're losing the first round, so who are we losing to"

Struggling against 12-15 seeds in 3 out of 4 1st round games isn't telling? Ok.

I'm sorry did we win those games? oh right, we did.

Winning a close game in the tourney isnt struggling unless you're so caught up in video games that you think that every game your team ever plays should be a blow out



oh and btw, with your earlier example:
and you bring up the long beach game....yeah they still scored 86 points, but we scored 121. if you dont consider winning by 35 points a blowout...well i dont know what to say to you then

Still beat them 3/4 times. Who cares if we blow them out?

No one saying blow them out, just play well against them. And playing down to those teams 3 out of 4 games is not a good thing. Which is why I feel we'll get bounce this year by a decent bubble team. (ND, IL, etc...)

I never said you did; but you started this thread saying we were going to lose in the first round

and you're so confident in it, so people want to make sig bets with you

meaning that

if you're right and UT loses the first game, you get to change their avatar picture that appears by their post to one of your choice

but if you're wrong (& UT wins) they get to choose a new picture and make it into your avatar

I'm going to go out on a bit of a limb here, but beating teams

121-84 (35 points)
75-57

....i dont think you can say those games are playing down to your opponents level, or struggling 3 out of 4 games

What bubble team gets an 11 seed?

This team has no heart? I guess losing your best player along with 2 other scholarship players, and going on to be the #1 team in the nation would count as not having any heart. We just played our 3rd game in as many days, and we obviously looked tired. As for Bruce Pearl, I'm sure another 2 seasons of ranked teams and more trips to the SEC semi finals and NCAA tournament will surely cost him his job. Wow, please do us a favor and just quit posting until you get a clue about what you are talking about.

Not sure what I would want the other person to change their name to? Doesn't sound like my cup of tea. Plus I want UT to win, I'm not gonna bet they lose... I just believe they will, big difference.

Oh, I thought they would only lose to Illinois? Now, they will lose to whoever they play?

Obviously I don't know who they're going to play... But I have a gut feeling it's going to be IL. That's the point of this thread, to see what other teams people think they might lose to in the 1st round. Who you got?

My bad, I know what it means... Not sure why I said name earlier... But I'm not sure what I would change their pic/sig/whatever too. Again, I want them to win, so I'm not gonna bet they'll lose... I just think they will...

Unfortunately if you havent noticed, you're the only one here who thinks UT loses its first tourney game regardless of who they play

no one else is calling that
