I'm not so sure Kentucky, despite playing maybe their best ball of the year today..

Was as geeked to actually beat #1 seed & unbeaten WSU, as they were to simply advance and meet hated rival Louisville..

Be careful what you wish for?

Had Lville at 12/1 to win NCAA last year..this year am rooting for SEC across the board..hope for Fla vs Mich St 2000 Redux.

I want y'all to win Friday, but in the back of my mind I am scared of how Tennessee matches up with Kentucky. The big difference in this years match up was that Tennessee really struggled from the outside. They have really had some guys step up in that area so far.

Randle vs. Stokes would be awesome though.


I'm with you on a potential elite 8 matchup. It would be both awesome and scary. There are damn good reasons/argument why either could and/or should win. UK's talent level is just off the charts right now while UT's chemistry is amazing and the elevation in our play is crazy.

It makes me mad that this is even a possibility given we only got 3 teams in. I want both in the elite 8 but it's not right that we're looking at facing each other there given the circumstances.

I think we need to pump the breaks on anointing Tennessee as world beaters at this time. Umass hasn't beaten anyone worth a damn since last year and Iowa is a mid tier big 10 team that was super inconsistent all season. Let's see what they do against Michigan first.

Cept we made it to the sweet 16 and by definition are now one of only 16 teams that can win the natty. That's pretty damn impressive.

There's no doubt about that. Y'all have looked impressive against who you've played. But I'm just gonna hold off on expecting an elite 8 matchup with UK until I see how Tennessee reacts playing a team with the fire power Michigan has

Fair enough. I just think if we continue to play the way we have then we can handle Michigan even though it's tough matchup. Winning by 15-20 pts. throughout the tourney speaks to how well Tennessee is playing right now. Like I said before as long as we don't cool off during the wait I feel really good about this team.

Baylor no but Iowa St sure. Missing their best player and guy who dominated the post. That is going to kill them somewhere inthe tournament


UF, UK and UTk is a pretty deadly combination. UTk is underratted and UK has arguably the most NBA talent. UF is UF. Only teams that I would rather face less is probably MSU, UofA maybe Baylor. Lousiville is trailing

very true but Deandre Kane played at an extremely high level. Still scary to play with how quick they play and how much they score. But yea that injury will probably stop them from making a big big run

Lville not what they were last year, but still loaded and coming on late this year..MSU with a go-to-guy on Offense coupled to Izzo's battle ballers D that can absolutely chuck a team's rhythm and frustrate..

I have up there right with Fla, as the Dance's chalk. All three loaded in savvy and vets.

The SEC teams are playing very good right now. Would be fun to see them continue to advance.

I don't see it happening, because the Midwest bracket is a killer this year, but how pissed would the rest of the country be if the title game was Florida vs. TN/UK?
