Title: According to Lunardi Vols officially on the bubble Post by: japanvol on March 04, 2012, 02:13:21 EST In his latest projection the Vols are 76th, or the 6th team out.
He has UK as the #1 overall seed, Florida a 4 seed, Vandy a 6 seed, Bama a 9 seed, and MSU an 11 seed. If the Vols can win 2 in the SECT I think that will be just enough to get into the tournament. Thoughts? Title: Re: According to Lunardi Vols officially on the bubble Post by: Black Diamond Vol on March 04, 2012, 02:57:24 EST I would say two wins is minimum if we want to make the dance. And even that may not be enough. The thing is, when you're as bubblicious as we are, it's going to depend on what others do just as much as what we do. We can't afford any upset conference tourney champs. If, for example, NC State were to win the ACC tourney, that's going to knock a team that would have otherwise gotten an automatic bid down to one of the at-large slots. Not good for us.
To be safe, we need to win the whole thing. How I would love to have mulligans on APSU, Oakland, Charleston, Pitt, UGA, and MSU. Those are all games we should have won, and most likely would win if we were to play them again today. Reverse those results, and we're probably looking at a 3 or 4 seed right now. Oh well, chalk them up to growing pains for a team getting used to a new coach and learning a new system. We won't lose to teams like that next year.
