Great thought. Here is another place you can post it:

Seriously dude...If I was sitting around, thinking to myself "how can I undermine Tennessee"? I would post EXACTLY what you just posted.
You are perhaps a Tennessee fan that is into masochism or an opposing fan pretending to be a Vol or some other strange creature I can't fathom, but you just always seem to post things that seem intended to undermine our program.
That's my OPINION, and I am not going to even attempt to defend it, but I AM going to post it.
But whatever...I'll give you a straight answer. Pearl had teams at least as talented as this, and arguably a couple more talented. He typically made the Sweet Sixteen but one time did make the Elite Eight. Based on his past performance, I would say this team would make the Sweet Sixteen.
I think all the above is fairly obvious though...unless perhaps one just wants to stir shizzle up.
