***Official Cats vs Vols Sweet Sixteen Thread***

And this is why that “the team that won the first 2 wins the 3rd 70% of the time” is a bs stat. The majority of those games are bottom feeders vs top 1/3rd teams and they met again in the conference tournament. Even teams however…. The team that lost 2 close games comes in with a heightened focus and a slightly different game plan…the team that won is just trying to run the same game plan back(as they should)….

By the time we made adjustments to their adjustments (it takes 10 min at least to set trends and patterns) they were up 10

It’s also rare that the better team lost the first two games.

Right, without meaningful statistical analysis, it's not a stat, only a figure

Rebounding is indicative of effort and focus. One team has it and it isnt us.

Our defensive rebounding is embarrassing.

Chandler back to earth. Not sure why pope keeps that early sub even though we're close to being done. Gotta play our best guys.
Rebounding requires having bigs wiling to mix it up. Garrison is the only who can jump high enough to rebound and he has issues between his ears. He has got to get some guys from the portal who are real men who wants to play.

This has really just been pitiful. How do you come out completely flat and apathetic for S16 game? It’s one thing to play bad, it’s another to play with bad effort. No rhythm, ball watching, just embarrassing. What a sad way to watch this fun season end
Almost seems like they didn't want to set the bar TOO high.
 
I feel sick to say this because I HATE Duke, but I hate the SEC more. I hope Duke ass whips Alabama and then Tennessee but then gets smeared by Florida in the championship game. Out of the likely final four, I guess Florida is the lesser of the evils. I hate writing this.
