First he gets Vandy, who just ain't that good.

Then he gets A&M and they out-choke him.

Now he gets Rick Barnes in March.

Luckiest fuckin' draw he could've pulled.

Just like we all predicted, keep rolling on and play Beard and Ole Miss in the semifinals.

Fuck that guy, too.

I think the fact this is our 3rd game in a row is actually beneficial.  Each game we have played better, integrating Weaver back into the rotation.  We are 100% in "March Tourney Mode", while Tennessee is coming in cold off a break.  Plus Barnes doesn't LOVE playing extra games in the conference tournaments.

First 4 minutes will be like:

Tenn 2-9
Texas 1-7, 4 turnovers

Tennessee leads 6-4 at the under 16 TO

Plus it's March and it's Rick Barnes.

Rick is f'n toast, and he knows it. Legendary playoff choker vs playoff wizard extraordinaire. I expect to see a lot of this

Just don't hurt him too badly RT. He once did good things here.

All they really need to do is win 9 games in a row, and they are National Champions!  If I my lazy ass math guess was right.  

It would be sort of fun to beat both Vandy and A&M.  

 

 

 

ahhh...      hope springs eternal

This is what I typed as the Vandy game was tipping off.  In the "Terry's Last Stand thread. Tennessee is a tough matchup for up, and two overtimes of banging  are not a plus.  But for the first time we have perhaps enough healthy contributors to cover the minutes?  Time management of the starters trying to keep them as fresh as possible. 

But fuck, I was watching the last few minutes of the Aggie game's second overtime.  We get so fucking jobbed by the refs. 

But Come ON Boys!!!  Let's get one more.  Early time rotation of players is going to be key!  Hell if I were at that game I would be tired just from cheering and the emotional ups and downs.

This will really be game 3.5 for us in a row. The consequences of those 2 overtimes could loom large come the 2nd half.

ESPN Analytics says 27.4% chance of a win

We had about a 40ish% chance yesterday 

Tenn -10.5

Where "ish" is derived from the Latin meaning "playing aggy", and adds about 55%

Today's line sadly seems about right.

But I would never bet against Rodney "The Tournament Terror" Terry.

RT was sandbaggging all season. He's got the country right where he wants it.

Going to milwaukee next week for the opening rounds. I went 3 years ago, Texas randomly got sent there, Chris Beard threw me a t-shirt during the teams open practice the day before the VT Tech game, and my 5 year old got to hang out with Hook Em and the cheerleaders for a minute. It was great. 
 

My new fantasy is we win today, get sent to Milwaukee as an 11 seed, and Aggie is the 3 seed. Then either Aggie gets upset and we play the 14, or we get to beat them again to make that Sweet 16 everyone’s been talking about 

A guys gotta have dreams 🤘🏼

not sure about that. Might have a 1 seed to play for?

Depends how much one thinks the committee values conf tournament results for the top teams.   Kind of feels like the top seeds are really set already. 

Tennessee is currently #6, with 3 SEC teams above them (1 Auburn, 4 Florida, 5 Bama) and would also need Houston/Duke to lose too.
