Well there you have it. Any vulnerabilities besides the obvious, glaring overconfidence issue?

Luck

Your biggest vulnerability is the luck factor. If Garrison Carr gets hot, you might have a battle. Also, Derrick Mercer is damn quick, and quick guards in the tournament are important. If he's too quick to guard, AU can keep it close.

Something that sticks out

Point per game is at 65.1 to 83 in favor of the Vols. Keep it that way with defense Vols!

The problem is...

That's where it was with Arkansas. And South Carolina.

Common Opponents?

I looked through the schedules of each team and didn't see one. I think American is going to have their hands full, as any 15 seed would.

My Signature Should be Better Than This

I don't understand something.

Across the board, Offensive rebounds and Defensive rebounds don't sum up to total Rebounds; they're always short. I had thought those were the only two kinds of rebound you had. Is there something I'm missing? If so, American has an advantage there because they get more "ghost" rebounds than UT.

I'm guessing the statsheets used to make the table were only partially (or improperly) updated, but I wouldn't know for sure.

A wild guess

In some situations, I think a team is simply credited a "team rebound." Since there's far less statistical oversight in mid-majors, you'll probably end up with a lot more anomalies like this.
