NCAA Tournament - Tennessee Vols

nope. you're right.

 

For the most part, I think they are right to ignore them.

 

Mine will be pretty chalky this year. There are some good teams. I saw a graphic that showed the combined offensive/defensive efficiency of the Top 8 teams this year on the x/y axis (so you want to be as far from the origin as possible.) Tennessee was right on line with past champs. But Duke, Gonzaga, UNC, Mich St, and UVA were all better than most of them.

I'll try to find it again. I think it was somewhere on Pomroy's site.

 

My dream bracket has us beating UVA, UK, and then Duke to win it all.

 

Jesus, could you imagine a weekend of beating UK for the third time this season and then beating Zion and Duke? I can't. That's some other timeline, where Jesus came right back after a weekend at Dad's and has been ruling the Earth for 2000 years.

 

They could fire Barnes, give 20 year guaranteed contracts to Wade Houston and Holly Warlick to co-coach the men and I would still be satisfied, if that happened.

 

My initial bracket had all 2's in the final four with Tennessee beating Michigan

 

I've filled out a trashed about half a dozen so far. I just don't have a good feeling about any of it.

 

I've got Wofford in the final four. I wasn't expecting that when I was going through the match ups.

 

that's nuts. they are way too trendy to do anything

 

The teams in their path aren't that good at defending the 3

 

They should beat Seton Hall, but they ain't beating Kentucky

 

I also think NKU/TTU is going to be an awesome first round game

 

sometimes the factor of length of defenders plays a big cumulative role in those stats.

 

North Korea U will probably intimidate them with some early long bombs but lack of height will be their downfall

 

Bigtime. Length, talent, schedule are all a part of 3 PT shooting and defense. Id expect a team to shoot well playing nobody for 20 games

 

Nevada is an interesting team to me. They started the season very highly ranked based on last year's tournament performance. They're the oldest team in the tournament this year, if I read correctly, but their schedule was super weak this season.

A lot of people have them losing to Florida in the first round, so it's hard to pick them to go on a run.

 

Florida is a mystery. A pest on their day and could lose to anybody too

 

I think their average age is 23. They only played 1 ranked team (won against 'Zona St).
