Indeed. I think we get run out of our building, but hope I'm 100% wrong. UT is a pretty good.

UT is a good team but run out of our own building good? I don't see it. I think this is a favorable match up for us and one I personally feel we win.

I feel the opposite, I think we run TN out of the building.

We are an awful matchup for TN in multiple ways. The few things we have done well on offense/defense are where TN struggles, what we are poor at is places that TN can't exploit

If we hit our shots, especially early, we can win.

I feel like this before almost every game. It's a defense mechanism for years of having my hopes crushed repeatedly.

If we just shoot around avg but win the rebounding game + TO margin, we will win.

The women's team is a 6 seed in Maryland on the espn bracket. They will probably lose the next 3 games against MSU @ A&M @ South Carolina. Won't hurt us in the rpi but will drop us in seeding.

Winning the rebound game requires us to hit shots.

Pretty remarkable how close these two teams are statistically.

Oklahoma just choked away a big jump in our RPI.

He updates it after every midweek game since he isn't traveling anymore and has the time.

You basically just have to be a top 100 team to be on that rather large list of crappy and meh teams.

Playing with a roster of 11 underclassmen (8 freshmen and 3 sophomores), the Vols have climbed to No. 41 in the RPI rankings. This season Tennessee has lost to ranked opponents Wisconsin, Oregon, North Carolina, Gonzaga and Florida by an average of 7.4 points.
And that doesn’t tell the whole story. Over the last two weekends, Tennessee conquered John Calipari’s Wildcats (No. 8 in the RPI) and topped Kansas State (44th) in Knoxville.


Are we giving too much slack to Auburn for being young? At least when they lose, it's not bombs away like we've seen against Georgia and Purdue.

They are led by SR Robert Hubbs III who is an All SEC type player. The guy hustles, doesn't mind passing and is just a solid player to have. Combine that with early struggles that force FR to come to terms that they have to buy in or lose.


Auburn players don't have a clear veteran leader and were able to coast off ability not team play. They're learning the hard lesson now instead of the beginning of the year
