Why is an Oklahoma fan posting about Tennessee basketball winning it all? Kind of weird.

Still think Duke wins it all, but it was a great win.

They've got as good a chance as anyone. But it will be a crapshoot, coming down to matchups and who happens to get hot/cold. That's why it's called madness

Not sure why I'm responding seriously to a Phil thread but there you go

You have the team. The problem is the NCAA Tournament doesn't always decide the best team in the country. It's as much about luck and matchups as it is anything else.

I do think this is the year you finally get past an Elite Eight.

I’m gonna guess that Phat Phil is actually a Tennessee fan that changed his logo...just a hunch.

There is a clear top 8 teams right now. Any of them have a chance.

We've been unlucky as hell when it comes tourney time but I really like our team this year.

And now Phat Phil is a bandwagoner. Sad.

UT does have a real good team this year. Glad to see it.

The OP is very weird. The weirdest poster on tRant by far. He has multiple alters and might really be only one of 2 or 3 actual UT posters here.

He is really one strange dude.

Cobb Dawg: the true weirdest poster of tRANT. Known to kill threads with a single moronic post.

Come on Phillip don’t be so blatant about your OU penis riding man. Don’t be one of those “I hate my rival more than I love my team” fans. And I would have no problem with an SEC team winning the NC in basketball. Even Auburn would be ok with me. But if anybody is in the final 4 from our conference it will be Kentucky and you damn well know it.

This is a post based upon acceptance. You accept that Kentucky has historically been great at basketball so you don't mind when they win. Let Auburn or Tennessee win and it'll get you're hackles up because we're your rivals in football.

It's ok. We (both Auburn and UT fans) did the same thing last year when faced with the choice of rooting for Bama or UGA. We'd accepted that BAMA has a lot of championships but UGA hadn't won since 1980 so we'd rather have Bama win.

You say acceptance I say expect. Going to final fours is just what Kentucky does. They can have a subpar, by their standards, regular season then turn it on come NCAA time. That’s just Kentucky basketball. I guess yea acceptance plus expectations. I’m serious though, I’d pull for AU or Tennessee to win it all against the ACC or Big Ten for sure just to get basketball respect back in our conference.

I won't quibble. Both terms work in slightly different ways but they work. As for basketball, for whatever reason it's easier for us to cheer for one another in shooty hoops than in football. (Maybe because all of us except UK have sucked at it for a long time).

Good win for UT. You guys are probably the sec favorite now. Three really solid teams atop the sec. we’re a basketball conference now
