Tennessee has played the 70th hardest schedule in the country, just ahead of Buffalo.

There is one SEC team in the Top 12 hardest schedules in college basketball. Guess who?

Hail State. LSU (13th) is the only other team in the Top 15, then Bama at 18.

That’s hard to believe, considering they have Kentucky, Gonzaga, and Kansas on the schedule.

Well, you may end up being right and then well, nothing really.

You think they’re great, awesome. Enjoy watching them. I’ve spent many years around that delusional fanbase and love seeing them get their asses handed to them.

They’ve now played 3 ranked teams all year and they’ve got 1 win. They should have lost at Vandy, and Bama had them as well. They’re good, but they’re not a one seed. Kentucky made them look absolutely pedestrian. I won’t be surprised to see LSU do that as well.

Before tonight Tennessee had beaten exactly one SEC team predicted to make the tourney. Their last six games are:

Vanderbilt
At LSU
At Ole Miss
Kentucky
Mississippi State
At Auburn

We’ll know pretty soon if they’re really that good, maybe they are.

I do know that Rick Barnes hasn’t made it past the first weekend of the tourney in over a decade, so I have absolutely no faith in him in March.

Either way, they may end up being great and winning it all and if they do, then congrats. I just don’t see the best team in the country wearing orange.

They lost big, but it's hardly fair to dismiss a team for going to rupp and losing to a top5 UK team.

Top teams lose too.

So you resurfaced this thread from a week ago, which wasn't interesting then, why??

Ha, true. They’re still Tennessee though. They won’t win anything of relevance. Still doing the least with the most.

Thanks for thinking of me though. Nice game against KY. Thought you might have em.

Winning the SEC is not relevant? And explain how they’re “doing the least with the most”.

Yeah, they’re garbage.

Look, I don’t think much of Tennessee as a team or an athletics program.

They won a title in football 21 years ago, and two East titles over a decade ago.

They’ve been to one Elite Eight in basketball in their history and they won’t get that far this year. #rickybarnes

They’ve won 3 games in Omaha since 1951. That’s not real good.

Yet in 2018 they spent 135,000,000 on athletics, ranking 9th in the country, so I think that’s a poor ROI in terms of wins, but that’s just me.

But honestly, if everyone here is only looking for completely reasonable and well thought out opinions then I may be in the wrong bar.

If you don’t think much of them, and they lead the football series 28-16, and basketball 84-43...what do you think of our athletics program?

Do yourself a favor and shut the 17 up, you look stupid as hell.
