the NCAA mens bracket will be unveiled in about 90 minutes. the Vols will probably end up a 3-5 seed in their region. I hope that we can actually put together a win or two in the "Dance". Its been a long time since Tennessee has actually won a tournament game, If the Tennessee team that beat conference tourny champ, Florida, or UK at Rupp arena shows up we may go deep, but if the team that lost to South Carolina in the 2nd round of the SEC tourny shows up...we won't have much to look forward to.
I think that (my alma mater) the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers definitely deserve a slot in the Tourny. They have more than 20 wins (again) but lost in the semifinals of the SunBelt tourny to South Ala. WKU has a long and rich tradition in post season play. their most recent successfull foray was the 1995 tourny when they beat a good Michigan team. Coach E.A. Diddle would be proud. Unfortuneatly, since the Sun Belt is a solid second tier conference, its likely that only the conference tourny champ will get a bid for the post season.
I expect that Memphis will get a 1 seed. they will go deep but it depends on their mindset which will determine if they make it to the final 4. the Tigers have all the tools to win it all, but can they make up their minds to play the kind of basketball it will take to win it all. they have speed, size, athleticism, and accurate shooting up to the rafters--the things you need to go deep in the post season, but can Coach Cal' keep them focused and intense in order to take advantage of all that?
