NCAA Tournament - Tennessee Vols

Maybe the SEC Tournament was really the friends we made along the way

 

Not gonna lie, beating Kentucky is a damn good friend.

 

I cannot tell a lie, if you’d offered me on Saturday a W with the guarantee of an ass kicking on Sunday I’m taking it

 

In a tournament, what choice would you really have?

 

And so begins my staying up too late watching basketball time.

Belmont gonna beat Maryland.

 

Agree

 

What the [uck fay] is going on around here?

 

Play it out and see what happens.

I mean, if you tell me Saturday when we’re down 8, I’ll offer you a W today with a guaranteed loss Sunday, I’d have taken it

 

You can say that this man so thoroughly hates Kentucky as to have driven to Lexington from Knoxville on a random weekday, walked into their practice to talk shit and had to be escorted out by security. And mind you, this was while he was an active player on Tenneseee’s team.

Then, you tell your son that he needs to grow up to be just like that man, or that you will have failed as a father and as a man.

 

You’re practically brothers, by interwebz standards.

 

Ha. I did not know of that story before today but I'm glad I know it now.

 

I really need you basketball guys to bring this exact same kind of energy to explaining the likely outcomes of the games still before us, instead of the ones behind us.

 

I've got UT in the elite 8. Toyed with Purdue knocking them out. Still might change it.

Cincinnati does not worry me.

 

ok, I understand. I would think any reasonably intelligent person would take that deal though, down 8 with less than 3 minutes to go.

 

I’d probably have taken it at the jump too

 

I'd rather have hardware.

 

I am not concerned with Colgate. at all. I am off tomorrow and may make a massive post about why. short version: all their hot spots and strengths correspond to our best defensive spots. and our best offensive spots correspond to their weakest.

 

3 pt defense is definitely not a strength of UT's

 

down 8 with 3 left, hardware is looking out of reach. odds of us winning had to be less than 1% or close to it

 

look at where they make them on the floor vs where we defend the best on the floor.

look at the length of their typical competition.
