re: 2019-2020 Season: UT Basketball discussion : 17-13 (9-8)

Just a phenomenal game. I'm still on cloud 9 this morning.

SEC Championship on the line today boys. Here's to a great game

frick YOU YOU frickING count TWAT BITCH

If I wasn’t drunk off my arse on spring break right now I’d want to riot.
Thankfully nobody in Miami gives a frick about college athletics so I didn’t have to deal with any shite talking

Playing in Columbus is a lot better than having to travel to Sal Tlay Ka Siti too. Other than possibly playing Cincy in basically a home game.

I’m trying to get excited but with how inconsistent this team plays at times I just really have no fricking clue

Bruce just owns Barnes, always has. Auburn is the kind of team that is just perfectly built to beat us, plus we shot our load against Kentucky the night before.

I am most worried about Cincinnati, but if we can survive that game, I think we match up well with everybody else in our bracket.

He's had our number the last 2 years. I thought we got a great path though and now that the brackets have been released, I like our 2 seed in the South over the 1 seed in the West that we would have gotten had we won the tournament. Having to play Cincy as a 2 seed in what will basically be a home game for them is trash, but if we can't beat them in the Rd of 32 after just knocking off UK in Bridgestone with 16k UK fans in attendance then we don't deserve to advance to the Sweet 16 anyways IMO.

FWIW:

Dick Vitale has us losing to Duke in the Championship game
Jay Williams has us making it to the Final 4
Reece Davis has us making it to the Final 4
Jay Bilas has us losing to UVA in the Elite 8
Steve Smith has us losing to Michigan St in the Championship

Lets make it happen

Stolen from VQ -- Some interesting points about our bracket -- The South region is almost all defense. VOLS are the best offensive team on our side of things and have a pretty good, not great, defense to go with it (prior to getting shite on by AU in those 2 games that dropped us way down to 75)

Offensive PPG rankings of the top 7 seeds plus Colgate:

Tennessee - 18
Purdue - 83
Colgate - 94
Villanova - 120
Virginia - T192
Cincinnati - T192
Wisconsin - 269
Kansas St - 323

Defensive PPG rankings are:

Virginia - 1
Kansas St - 4
Wisconsin - T8
Cincinnati - 11
Purdue - 52
Villanova - 62
Tennessee - 75
Colgate - 142

There are several teams that are going to be a challenge along the way, but if we can't make at least The elite 8 with this path then my liver is going to be rekt
