So, 6 of our 11 losses in ‘24/25 were to Sweet 16 teams.

All the more amazing that we are one of the 16.

There are some odd, hidden records, here.

I’ll assume the majority of all losses suffered by Sweet 16 teams came against SEC teams. I suspect that is a first, unless the ACC pulled that off the year they had 6 teams in the S/16.

We beat Duke early, and I think Bama and Auburn both beat Houston, early.

If someone had the time, it would be interesting to see just how many losses suffered by the combined Sweet 16 teams were to SEC teams.

Its not common to beat a team in the Reg season & Tourny

Revenge is one of the best motivators in life. Vols will be playing harder than ever, so hard that we're an underdog.


Auburn a few years ago- we beat them twice and they got us in the tourney.

UNC- We beat them early part of the season, they returned the favor in the elite 8.

UCLA - They beat us at Rupp with Ball, then we returned the favor in the tourney with Fox putting on a show.

Indiana- They beat us with the Watford shot, we returned the favor and hung 100 on them.

Umass with Cal - They beat us with Camby, we returned the favor in the tourney.

Wisconsin in 2015 - It wasn't the same season, but those nerds said they were crushed from the season prior and begged for an opportunity at revenge.

Hindsight is 20-20, but I wouldn't have minded a home loss to the hillbillies this year. Ziegler, Mayshack and Lanier are counting the mins. I don't like this game, I may seek counseling.
