possibly the ’3?
I leave for bible study in 20 minutes (yes, even in bounceyhoops land, someone decided to hold Bible study on Wednesday nights), so I won’t be able to catch it and haven’t looked too hard for feeds
If I cared more about my UNC side, I'd call myself "Tar Volon," and that'd be awesome.

It's on the '3 for sure.
I don’t know if it’s on other TV, though.

CSS is a Comcast/Charter channel
if you don’t subscribe to one of those two, you’re likely out of luck. if you do, perhaps you don’t even need to be in the SEC footprint?

I have Time Warner (and won't be at home anyways), so I never had a shot

I say this...
because if your DSL connection drops while pushing high bandwidth, it’s typically an issue with line noise. Look into getting a new DSL filter.
If that doesn’t work you are likely a pretty good distance from the interchange. Might want to call the phone company about installing a new one closer.
Nope, cable.
Seems to be okay, though.

Regardless of the existence of our own NCAA Tournament hopes
I do find some joy in deflating others bubbles. Is this cruel?
schadenfreude is a great thing
It's Great! To be! A Tennessee Vol!
I'm still annoyed at Arkansas over the 99' football game...
I really have no reason to care about Ole Miss
True
but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t feel good to watch someone else suffer
It's Great! To be! A Tennessee Vol!
Just a little cruel - depending on who you are puncturing

I'd feel bad...
if it was Auburn… that’s just about it in the SEC.
I’d feel terrible if we busted Northwestern’s bubble. Those poor guys have never gotten in.
I have a Michigan fan friend at work
I told him he should be ashamed for last night.
I like Tennessee and Vanderbilt. There aren't many like me, and they're probably better off for it.
This is the most RPI-inflated team I've seen in a long time
They’ve got no depth – five guys have all but two of their points

5 guys in double figures at 65 points

Our defense is a thing of beauty...
I know Kevin O’Neill gets a lot of credit for being a great defensive coach, but he couldn’t hold a candle to Cuonzo. And to top it all off, we aren’t boring offensively either.
O'Neill also ran off like half the team when he showed up
and I’ve been impressed that Cuonzo has kept everybody, never thought that would happen

This is true...
and we didn’t exactly recruit well at the end of Wade Houston’s reign, but his offensive system made Princeton look fast paced at times.
I love that he lost 42-36 to Cal Poly this year
If I cared more about my UNC side, I'd call myself "Tar Volon," and that'd be awesome.

Nice offense right there
and we never know who is going to step up and deliver

This is the part of the game...
Where Ole Miss hits a trillion threes in a row to turn a double digit lead into a 3 point UT win.
Up 2 touchdowns under 2 minutes
We good.
I like Tennessee and Vanderbilt. There aren't many like me, and they're probably better off for it.

Somehow South Carolina is tied with Vanderbilt at halftime...
hypothetically speaking, this does not benefit me.
I’d very much prefer a 15 point Vandy win.
USC is playing defense well
But Vandy also looks like garbage.
I like Tennessee and Vanderbilt. There aren't many like me, and they're probably better off for it.
So the Rebels were up 15-2 at one point.
Since then? 70-45 Vols.
Formerly 'snail. You get used to it after a while.
This is another taking care of business effort against a mid-tier team
just not at all what I thought we’d seen this soon. Especially after what happened Saturday and the bursting of hypothetical bubbles. So mature.
These are the sort of games I thought we'd have to win 59-58.
Now we’re doing the defense thing and scoring 70+. Stuff’s getting better every day.
The Postman?
We didn’t mail this one in

We are absolutely an NCAA Tournament quality team...
once again, too bad we dropped a home game to Austin Peay. That’s probably hitting us for 20+ RPI spots.
Yup - Peay was a killer
Born in Fort Sanders - 1st Residence Aconda Court (Alumni Hall) - 1st games at Neyland 1947 - Mother = TORCHBEARER - Dad grad of UT & UT Law + professor BORN ORANGE and BLEED ORANGE .......
that and we're at the bottom end
of a very dense part of the RPI rankings.
It's Great! To be! A Tennessee Vol!
A basket against Memphis in Maui
Not sucking against Austin Peay and sucking less at UGA…and we’d at least be in the convo.
I like Tennessee and Vanderbilt. There aren't many like me, and they're probably better off for it.
We can make up for it...
by winning the SEC tournament! Right? RIGHT!

After coming from behind like that...
normally I"d be all excited over a win. But this… felt kinda normal.

I'm sorry...
I refuse to believe we are the 42nd best team after the 69 teams in the NCAA.

Only way you could make that argument
Is by looking at RPI numbers.

Miller & McRae for POG
Bert gives it to Miller

Leaning McRae, if only for that dunk.

That was spectacular
but Miller was totally unexpected

That NIT-ology was before the game today
After today’s impressive win over a team in the theoretical NIT field, I’m sure we’ll be much higher for the next one…assuming we beat South Carolina, that is.
We have pretty well blown through the SEC bubble brigade at home in very impressive fashion. We just obliterated both Arkansas and Ole Miss. It’s very impressive for a team that was where we were at the turn of the year. I’m with Will, it doesn’t mean very much for our NCAA Tournament hopes, unfortunately, but it is unexpectedly impressive, especially the way we destroyed Arkansas after coming off that impressive victory at Florida, and then destroyed Ole Miss after that bad loss at Alabama and the horrible first five minutes of this game. These our teams that should be beating us half the time in our place, if you go by the resumes.
