UT may go to #1

[Ben101er]

with a UVA win today, but if they do, it was because of a very kind whistle at home. Bama should have won this game. The Vols are not as unbeatable as some think. I think we split with them this year.

I figure a split.

Never have figured out why they get such a friendly whistle. Incredible.

 

[TriCountyCAT]

Thompson Bowling has the best home whistle in the SEC. I remember games where it has been almost criminal. In the Wall, Cousins year they almost got our players hurt. Has two guys tackling Cousins the whole game and no calls.

 

[Cats192]

Only can help us.

We have to beat them to have a chance at a #1 seed.
Only looks that much better if you beat the #1 team.

I worry that this team has a problem playing to competition. The good part is--all the competition is suddenly good.

Stokely was even worse.

 

[ZaytovenCat]

Funny thing is I can see Duke staying at 1 with a win or Virginia jumping UT to 1 with a win. Shouldn’t but possible.

 

[jgodek]

If UVA wins, they take the top spot imo.

 

[AwlVawl]

If UVA wins at duke they deserve to be no. 1

If Duke wins I think duke will still get some votes but it will be close

 

[coolioo1]

I think Tennessee is the best team in teh country. All veterans, all grown men that play extremely well together and the offense is diverse, inside and out. Grant Williams reminds me some of Draymond Green

 

[Comebakatz3]

SEC preserved the chance they go go number 1 by calling that bogus walk. Still, of Virginia wins then they are definitely number 1 after two top 25 wins this week.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Duke lost to Syracuse at home, idgaf if they beat Virginia. They shouldn't be #1.

 

[SophiesDad]

All I know is we’re top 10 next week and Kansas is going to get an azz whoopin at Rupp

 

[HenryMuto]

Too bad Tennessee won today.

Agreed. I think UT should be No. 1, but it is definitely not a given.

[Aike]

If Virginia wins tonight, there’s no justification for having anyone else number 1.

 

[akaukswoosh]

A loss would have gone a long way helping us in the long run,

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Should be at least up to #8 and a 2 seed now. I just posted we got our cardinal, war bird and now we just need our jailbird for our version of a turducken.

I got one good one, screw the ACC.

 

[Aike]

I got one good one, screw the ACC.

Haha, well. Objectively, an undefeated UVA should be ranked above a one loss Tennessee with a loss to a mediocre Kansas team.

 

[ABlockalypseBrow]

You could also say UVA shouldn’t be rewarded for having the weaker OOC schedule. In an all’s fair world, I could agree with you. But i can’t let myself support anything that might tangentially help UNC/Duke.

Spotlighting an Elite Eight banner, lol.

Doesn’t look like it will matter. And I really do not like RJ Barrett.

Why RJ Barrett? Is he the cocky one? I get them all mixed up.

 

[Aike]

Just hit a basket and must have posed for 42 seconds. I like Zion. Don’t cheer for him, of course, but I like him. Wish he had been a Cat.

But RJ is exactly where he is supposed to be.

 

[SDcatfan13]

Tennessee should be 1 with only 1 loss compared to 2 by Duke.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Duke will be #1. Bet on it.

 

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

One Elite Eight appearance...the 110+ year highwater mark of their program... [roll]

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

If Duke beats UVA, they will pretend that their Syracuse loss doesn't count and stay # 1

 

[SDcatfan13]

If Duke beats UVA, they will pretend that their Syracuse loss doesn't count and stay # 1

Either way they’re not the best team now. Definitely more losses down the road with PG injured.

 

[Aike]

Tennessee should go to one. That Duke loss at home to Syracuse was worse than any loss we’ve had. We would have dropped 6-7 spots.

 

[3sUp]

He did walk. It was the exact same move called today against Auburn.

 

[bookerfan66]

Duke stays number 1 and Virginia moves up to 2 for playing the greatest team in history close.

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Duke will be #1. Bet on it.

 

[new era cat]

This Duke team is winning rat face another title.
Book it.
I still don't think we would come within 10...

Alabama player traveled.

Think K told them that they actually won the Syracuse game.

 

[Hoopsguy8]

Here’s justification: Duke really isn’t the best team in the country. Duke lost twice. Many voters vote on the Duke name, and all of the dspn clips of Zion that the whole country has to watch 20 times in every single game dspn airs. There is a reason Virginia entered this weekend undefeated and still ranked #4. Either their schedule up to this point doesn’t impress, or the fact that the are mainly a defense oriented team. So, beating a two-loss Duke team shouldn’t rocket them past a one-loss Tennessee team whose only loss was to the then #1 Kansas in OT. They also beat #1 Gonzaga. That said, I don’t think Tennessee cares who is #1 right now.
