I guess this win is your Super Bowl like the previous two years. But enjoy this win because you'll be watching Kentucky in March like you usually do when the Vols are sitting at home.
Not this year and you can carve that on a rock.Half way to 20 wins and that should be within reach. NCAA at large bid.
The satisfaction of proving EVERY pundit who said UT would finish with a 10 win total for the season and 13th place in the SEC is schadenfreude.
This is a very, very young UT team. 3 Sophs and 2 Jrs in the starting line up. Only senior is the # 2 PG, a grad student from Howard University. Thing is, they know that they are not supposed to win. None of them were rated above 3* by any ranking institution. None of Cal's 5* Commandos who play basketball for Ky and then head to the NBA..
So they work harder than their opponents. They don't have any depth and it cost them in their last minute losses to #1 Villanova, #11 North Carolina and in OT vs Arky..
Your bunch is SUPPOSED to win. They are the SEC's Royal team. Even the waterboy had a 5* ranking. But those rankings don't help you when the other team out hustles, out plays and out smarts you.
I will enjoy this game for maybe another 5 minutes and then pocket it and move on. One team tonight showed that it plays as a team. The other did not. The latter has some serious questions to be answered if they expect to be at their usual #1 Seed in March.
