Uninformed post. You've usually got a pretty good finger on the pulse of whatever topic you speak on, but this isn't one.

Go to the Big Ten rant and whine about it there.

You could say this about our fans and at least get away with it but saying it about our players is the most bullshite thing I've heard in a while and I regularly read tRant.

Yeah because they’re winning. I don’t find them particularly unlikeable otherwise. And how can you not like Grant Williams or Admiral?

Meh they're fine. I like Admiral even though he sucked tonight.

It almost killed us. Usually when either Grant or Admiral has an off night Bowden will come up big with a 20 pt game.

They aren't a traditional power and they're a very good team. They're hard to dislike, although their fans should be warned that March is a crapshoot

The Tenn Women's team was pretty butthurt when MIZ beat them but it was a physical game considering is was womens, but honestly when the men beat MIZ there wasn't anything out of the ordinary...they are a good basketball team, nothing wrong with some swagger if you can back it up which they have been doing night in night out.

Not at all, I'm an LSU fan living in TN and have kept up with this group, they're all class acts. I'm pretty pissed Vandy didn't clip them too but not going to go that far with it.

this UT basketball group is the only UT team in any sport I've not rooted against every game.

All under recruited players, their coach got unceremoniously canned by a program that thinks it's way better than it is, and their best player is underappreciated too. I've met several of their players, and they seemed like good guys.

Don't forget that the team doesn't have a single player that was ranked in the top 100 as a recruit...3 star players that were not highly sought, being the #1 team in the country is totally unlikable if your team has higher rated recruits and is lower ranked, I suppose.

These mouthy players like:

Admiral Schofield - 3 star recruit (rank 251)
Grant Williams - 3 star recruit (rank 191)
Jordan Bone - 3 star recruit (rank 171)
Lamonte Turner - 3 star recruit (rank 144)
Jordan Bowden - 3 star recruit (rank 262)
Kyle Alexander - 3 star recruit (rank 362)
John Fulkerson - 3 star recruit (rank 238)
Yves Pons - 4 star recruit (rank 127)

Player ranking by 24/7 composite.

Don't like them? Well, tell your team to step up and beat them then

Tend to agree here. This is the type of team that gets upset the first weekend of the NCAA Tourney.

Ceiling is the Sweet 16, IMO...
