Title: That UF win looks better all the time in the rear view mirror

They are playing really well right now. 

We likely face them in the semifinal.  Hope we can beat them again on a neutral court.

They do look like the hottest team in the league right now.  But as we've seen many times in the past, who's hot and who's not often doesn't carry over into the SECT. That weeklong layoff has a way of resetting things.

And here's Exhibit A. Bammer had lost 5 straight to close the regular season, and looked dead in the water. Now, after upsetting aTm yesterday, they're about to beat AU by 20+.

 :wow:

I know that they pulled off a close win against Tamu yesterday.

Exhibit B is USC Junior last year.  Finished in a slump, inglorious exit from SECT, then made Final Four.

Still...I think it's more common for the hot teams to stay hot, than vice versa.  Purely going by memory, don't have any stats, but generally seems to be the way it goes.

But whatever...Vols were pretty hot down the stretch too.  And we can beat the stinkin' crocs any day of the week.   :dude:
