I'll be happy with making it outta the first weekend. Anything else is gravy. Hell, THIS is gravy.
(vols2345 @ Mar 12 said:you said it man. but think about this, EVERYONE wants us to lose now. If we had a 4 or 5 seed people would root for us, now we are going to have the bullseye on us like st. joes did with jameer nelson.
yep and that being said, I say bring it. I have reviewed this bracket so many times now. the vols have a good shot to get into the tourney deep. but lawgator, be aware of the first round game for your gators. south alabama can play basketball, but i dont really think you guys are introuble. you guys got a wierd draw. uwm or oklahoma in the second round would be tough.(lawgator1 @ Mar 12 said:Totally agree. UT will be totuted by the talking heads as overrated and if you lose, they will all say, "told ya'"!

can't let any crap like that happen
and i think pearl is the dang man... and i think the 2 seed will give our boys their swagger back
I totally agree tid....since rebounding aint us....we need to utilize our quickness and team defense to force turnovers before they shoot. This may be the hidden key to the final 4 most don't think about.(tidwell @ Mar 12 said:You can take out 'rebound,' have we did that at all this year?
We need to shoot well, obviously, to win. Force turnovers and shoot well.
