I should have released that info earlier for you degenerate bettors amongst us.

 

[dawgstudent]

So they have never made it past the 2nd round - I never knew that.

It went from a 4 point SC lead to a 1 point UT lead fast.

 

[jwbigcreek]

they won the tourney the first year it was reinstated I believe.

I think his Friday stat is only for the last 11 Friday games TN has played in the tournament. Because they've made it to 6 semi-finals and 2 finals (winning 1) since the tournament was re-started in 1979.</p>

Not that it will happen, but today is a good example of how you beat Tennessee.

1) Have them shoot 6-23 (.273) from 3 point line
2) Have them have 13 team fouls in the second half to your teams 5, and make lots of free throws. USC has shot 26 ft, Tennessee 12.

in 1979 and have never made it past Friday since the league expanded to 12 teams in 1992.

Tennessee hasn't won the event since 1979 - heck, it's been 17 years since the Vols made it as far as the semifinals.

I don't know if you were being a smartass on the second part or not, but Tennessee goes from elite team down to very good team when the refs aren't letting them get away with hand checking.

Lofton hits 3 with 10 seconds left

 

[jakldawg]

Nice of him to show up.

 

[orbitdawg]

Wow

 

[Irondawg]

letting Lofton get wide open and set like that.

Even worse inbounds play at the end.

Oh well - valiant effort

Reminded me of TN's efforst in the NCAA effort where Lofton bails them out of a near upset in the early rounds

Also, does the damn Tennessee music department not have any other music than the chorus to Rocky Top. That gets so damn annoying. It is like a school rule you have to play Rocky Top and no other music at every break. Not to mention their own damn fans don't know the words.

 

[Agentdog]

Not to mention their own damn fans don't know the words.

Aren't the words,

<17> you Rock Top
Go to hell Tennessee

At least that is how I sing it.

They won; it doesn't matter how close it was.

 

[patdog]

You don't lose a #1 seed by winning games. Especially not when you're the #1 overall seed.

I watched the replay on DVR and SoCar had a guy coming up the right side of the lane to pick up Lofton and he was simply grabbed and taken to the floor by a UT player. If you get a chance to see the replay watch for it.</p>

 

[Stormrider81]

in a setting like that. I would be happy with just surviving that game.</p>
