NEW MECCA of college basketball???????????????

I really dont think ANYONE said anything about the Vols being the Mecca of college Basketball but maybe the state of TN at one point since we had 3 teams in the top 12 including the #1 and #2 teams at the time.

There are no excuses!!! Louisville is a better BB Team. Tenn played a perfect DEF game by forcing 20 TO's..I know they shot poorly but also lost by 20 points, give them 9 or 10 more makes and there percentage goes up to 60%, and even with that they still lose!!!!!!!!  TENN is and was overrated all year!

Nobody said that UTK was the Mecca of bball Tennessee THE WHOLE STATE! is Tennessee as a state had more teams into the NCAA tournament than your "tough" ACC because Tennessee had 5 teams ACC had 4 5> 4. Oh and i guess North Carolina is the mecca of basketball because they had 2 teams in the tournament? yeah i'd say that NC is a better bball state with 2 teams in the big dance as apposed to TN with 5 teams and nearly 6. and im glad you stated MEN'S HOOPS because you probably know that Tennessee womans hoops UNC @ UNC this season and is on a collision course with UCONN ( again ) to win a Woman's title FOR THE 8th TIME! please all UNC is bball and all they ever will don't talk trash to teams like TN who has won 100+ mens titles in the SEC more than teams like Kentucky, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia and LSU.  in Mens and Womans BBAll Tennessee on the other hand has been ranked #1 in; Football, Basketball (w&m), Softball, Baseball. Please

No doubt, the SEC had a down year and the Vols looked pretty bad last night.

Next year is next year and this year is this year.  SEC down this year, will be back next year.

Yeah, I don't think I ever heard anyone speak of the Vol's as the Mecca...

In fact, in my post before the game yesterday I thought they would get beat. That "organized chaos" offense is not consistent enough to win back to back. Lofton takes horrible shots... and 80% of the time down court the 1st guy who touched the ball shot it with no rebounding help. They have done this plenty this year, but fortunately played against weak competition MOST of the time... sure, they stepped up against Memphis. But they also had some pretty bad losses to Vandy, UK, and Texas where they looked like an average SEC team (which this year is not a compliment).

At the same time, Louisville has stepped it up.

I am a gator, but my whole family are UT alum and even they were not surprised last night.

You Must be a Kid ?  Atleast I hope because those were some little kid comments Tennessee overated, but they played well against Memphis (there only loss) and florida a couple of times....Funny that "there RPI was so high" but yet there overated. You must of not gotten the memo on what is RPI?  It's kool though you were probably playing on the swings at recess when that came out. Look at there season game by game record kid. I think you'll find that they went to Xavier and killed em went to Memphis and gave them there only loss of the season, Travelled to washington to play Gonzaga another W , Ohio State played at TENN and again another W,  Western Kentucky played em in Nashville for the Win, and we can't forget about West Virgina who got beat too. Texas and now Louisville just kicked our A** !  Xavier ,W.V. , Memphis , W. Kentucky , and Texas were in it or made it to the sweet 16.. But the Vols were awful this year How you figure that? Pearl would of played North Carolina  or D uke if givin a shot.. Lets see old N.C. TRAVEL AROUND LIKE THAT INSTEAD OF PLAYING IN N.CAROLINA ALL THE TIME ,  were you just set and wait for Duke every year .  Oh yeah and this is the first year I can Recall that Tennessee being in the discussion for a basketball title (Men's) just give it a few years and see what recuits we start to get because of our overatted season ,who knows we might even pick up a player that was going to North Carolina, Your just a spoiled bandwagon kid who seems to just talk out his blank. you HEELSOFTAR50                                                                                                                           Go Vols " keep the faith"              --KrazyKuzz

KrazyKuzz,

  I'm assuming your speaking about my article? Fact is they beat noone this year with the exception of Memphis. The SEC was down peroid and i'm the biggest SEC homer there is. Vandy,KEN, and ARK looked real good in the tourney....UH . TENN should of lost in the 2nd round but somehow squeaked by in OT, it was bound to happen to happen against a decent team sooner than later. So I stand by my comments and say that TENN is 

OVERRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to let all these SEC fans know that the Pac-10 is good in 3 sports.

CWS - Oregon State (back to back NC).  Arizona, ASU, UCLA and Oregon State all have shots at winning it again.

BCS - USC has been dominating BCS wins except for Texas.  But, we don't get to play Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl every other year, like the SEC.

March Madness - UCLA has been to the Elite Eight 3 straight years. 

Also, we can afford to travel, see football.
