I'm not holding out any hope for a win over Duke. Funny that we may get them in the next round though after all this Fab Five drama went down

first team in NCAA history to win a tourny game without making a single free throw (0/1)


30 point victory is pretty sweet, especially since a lot of people didn't think they deserved the higher seed they got. Nice little send off gift for Pearl

I'll give UM a puncher's chance against Duke. They beat Duke a couple years ago when nobody thought they'd beat them (of course, that game was at home and they lost to them a couple weeks before that on a neutral court) - I think Beilein's system is a bad matchup for the pressure D of Duke. Duke's big men are not as good or as deep as last year, so they aren't able to control the paint like they used to ...

UM still hasn't beaten a great team all year, though. Tennessee was clearly not a team that was going into the tourney with any momentum - they are pretty much the textbook example of a team you want to pick against in your bracket.

if they can shoot 75% from the field like they did in the second half, they may have a chance

Ho-hum. Another win against a 19-14 or worse team.

Well, they did win by 30.

I kinda hope they upset dook so I can see how he downplays that.

if they beat Duke, i'll take a month off from this site in celebration!!!!

Well you can laugh at us, but you may pass out laughing at Tenn

I will say it again, this team has done way better then most predicted at the start of the season.

Good game for TSUN. I feel dirty saying this, but hopefully they at the very least give Duke a game.

Michigan gets to play Duke in the tourney?

Sweet. Good thing neither team has any alumni saying stupid shit this week to give the other team motivation.

This is true. I fucking hate Tennessee and Bruce Pearl, so watching them descend into the basketball abyss is going to be awesome.

If TSUN beats Dook I will buy a fab 5 poster and hang it in my office for a month.

Discount the 30 points. After the last couple of days, Pearl and his team gave up. Don't worry about that victory over Duke; it's not likely. You guys beat them and you will have a right to gloat.

That Vol team quit, but kudos to the scUMmers for stepping on their fucking throats. That was an impressive second half. Dook with Kyrie Irving is a different story...

Actually I think its a good draw for them from the point of view its all or nothing.

UT is perfectly capable of a complete no show in which case our friends from up north should win. OR They will get the motivated UT, be complimented on their pretty mouths and told to squeal.

All joking aside, Duke better be praying to the God of pasty white folks that the psycho bad UT shows up because the good UT can just wreck that bracket. Duke, UT and Texas in the same half of a bracket is nuts (almost as bad as OSU, UK and WVU).

Do I know the teams I hate or what.
