We Need Tennessee.....

[dbe]

...... to beat Georgia today.

That would guarantee UK no worse than a 4 seed which would keep us out of Florida's half of the tourney.

[Will Lavender]

I'm gonna be rooting for the Vols HARD.

And after the game I'm gonna take a long, hot shower. :nada:

[Littlemeyer]

Go Vols.

I hate you, but Go anyway. :thumbup

[RP_McMurphy]

That would guarantee UK no worse than a 4 seed

Have we fallen that far?

Unfortunately, yes.

But I'm going to Atlanta next week. This team ain't gonna beat Florida, so I'm going to root for whatever will give the Cats a shot.

My thoughts exactly!:):tongue:)

[Rockober]

Georgia favored by 3.5 points. This seems a little high to me and I know the Vols have struggled on the road. Tennessee has looked very good of late.

[UK Chic]

I am cheering for the orange already. I have on my UK shirt so that makes me feel a little cleaner. :D

On the other hand, though, if we win tomorrow, we'd be tied for 2nd in arguably the toughest conference division in college basketball.

[Will Lavender]

Vols looking good early. :thumbup

Is the truth negative?

Only if the truth is rhetorically manipulated.

"4 seed" could also be stated this way: "Tied for second place."

[Will Lavender]

Georgia's junk zone giving Tennessee fits.

[RP_McMurphy]

What's that old saying? Lest your the lead dog the view never changes. Frankly over the last two years I haven't liked our view.

How can anyone root for Tennessee, Duke, UL, UNC or IU regardless of the matchups? We're in the dance already or if SOS means anything anymore.

:shrug:

On a different note, Seth Davis only picked 4 SEC teams in the show while picking 7 each from the ACC and Big East.

Nah! He doesn't show any partiality for a '92 Duke grad.

Because I don't want to drive all the way to Atlanta to watch this team get destroyed by Florida on the second day of the tournament.

And Davis might be right.

UT, UK, UF, Vandy.

Alabama's on the bubble. Georgia, at this point, is out.

[ukwebfan]

You're right. Why did they even travel to Gainesville today? Getting killed on a neutral court is bad enough already.

I agree. Playing Florida in the second game spells trouble imo. I would rather face them on Saturday or Sunday.If UK can avoid Florida early, the chances of getting a higher seed in the dance increases.
The ACC will get 7 and I think the SEC will get 5 unless there alot of upsets in the conference tourney. The Big East will get 6 or 7 teams in.

Its amazing that no SEC West teams are a lock.

Frankly, there are tons of other threads where you can discuss your view of the program. Why pollut every thread?

15:30 to go UT down 3

Go Vols!

OOOOH that hurt!:tongue

[Will Lavender]

Tennessee can't guard.

[ukwebfan]

The West winner should get in unless they flame-out in Atlanta.

Ga. Tech is below .500 in the ACC so they're questionable.
The Big East could get 9 in realistically.

[Will Lavender]

ukwebfan wrote: The West winner should get in unless they flame-out in Atlanta.

Why?

You're talking about teams who went .500 in conference play. Only one, Alabama, will have 20 regular season wins.

I don't feel like any of those teams is really NCAA-worthy.

IMO Georgia has done more than any of the teams in the West.

[Will Lavender]

Tennessee completely melting down.

[Rockober]

Lofton is having a bad day. He has 3 points! He will make a few in the last 10 minutes and I think this game is going down to the wire.

[Will Lavender]

I'm not sure why Lofton hasn't played that much in the second half.

Aren't people suppose to do what they do best. :shrug:

Dogs are dominating the boards.

Lofton. :shock:

[CatFaninChattanooga]

Impressive stat just shown:

Vols are 18-0 when leading the game with 5:00 minutes to go. Oh what it must be like to be able to put teams away! :lol:

Go CATS!

[Rockober]

We're depending upon a team that is pathetic on the road and came off their game of the year against Florida.

Georgia wins, no problem.

Georgia may win but I believe this game is going down to the wire.

That's pro-active coaching (Pearl) versus re-active coaching (Tubby).

And it's also indicative of how important the three point shot is. If you knock down a three in the clutch, the other guys tighten up. (I'm not too comfortable with the words "clutch" and "tighten" so close together. But I'm too lazy to think of synonyms right now.)

[Rockober]

Tennessee should get back in the top 25 with their two wins this week. They will be a tough out in the SEC Tourney. I hope UK gets to play them again.

[Will Lavender]

Ballgame! :thumbup

[wyldkatzky]

It doesn't matter when we play Florida as long as we beat them. To tell me UK couldn't beat this florida team when an LSU team without BABY DAVIS beat them is ludacris.

[bleedbluelady]

So, is it a definite that we play the first game on Thursday no matter what happens tomorrow?

[blewis18]

So can somebody clear this up. Who will we be playing now?

[Wildcat Larry]

Won't know until tomorrow, but we will be in the opposite bracket from Florida. :shrug:

No kidding! Who wants to play the #1 seed early? You need to look at percentages and I think Florida would beat UK 75-80% of the time based on their play this year. Sure UK can beat them but they haven't proven that in five straight tries.

In Catlanta, I believe anything can happen.

I don't care who the opponent is,if the Kentucky Wildcats are in the SEC championship game, I think history tends to favor UK and I'll take the odds anytime.

(Info from SECSports.com (http://www.secsports.com/index.php?s=&url_channel_id=3&url_article_id=8466& url_subchannel_id=&change_well_id=2))
If Alabama, Arkansas and Auburn are all tied at 7-9...........
Arkansas and Auburn both swept Alabama and split their season series.
Arkansas would earn the West No. 3 seed due to their 6-4 division record compared to Auburn's 4-6 mark.
Auburn would be the West No. 4 seed and Alabama the West No. 5 seed

If Arkansas, Auburn and Mississippi State are all tied at 7-9...........
Mississippi State would earn the West No. 3 seed due to their 3-1 head-to-head record compared to Arkansas (2-2) and Auburn (1-3).
Arkansas would be the West No. 4 seed and Auburn the West No. 5 seed

So basically, if Alabama wins, we'll play Auburn, but if MSU wins, we'll play Alabama.

We would play the 1st seed in the west in the second round, which will be either MSU (if they beat Bama) or Ole Miss.

[beachedkat]

Well, I cheered for the Vols because we needed them to win. But I feel kind of dirty.

I agree. That's why I am happy that Florida is on the other half because it gives the CATS a better chance to make a run in the SEC Tourney.

I want Alabama to beat Mississippi State... That gives us Auburn then Ole Miss as opposed to Alabama then Mississippi State. Auburn we beat at home, Ole Miss we beat on the road, Alabama we lost to on the road, Mississippi State we beat at home.


Completely agree.

The Auburn/Ole Miss/Vandy (probably) road to the finals isn't that daunting.

But with this bunch, you never know.
