I think it's the oppsite when we are talking how deep one's bench is in UT and Louisville. There is no way that Louisville is too deep for Tennessee. I'm not a Tennessee fan and let's see who I can pull off the top of my head: Chris Lofton, J P Prince, JaJuan Smith, Tyler Smith, Howell, Wayne Chism, Ramar Smith....should I stop? Arkansas is a good basketball team and Tennessee lost 4 total games with a tough out of conference schedule. I completely disagree with Dick Vitale's prediction of a UNC/Louisville match up. Tennessee was close to getting a #1 seed if Kansas would have lost the Big 12 tournament championship game. I don't see how the tournament committee puts the best 1 seed in UNC and best 2 seed in Tennessee in the same bracket. The only reason I can think of is that Tennessee will have a chance to play closer to home in the South region. Vanderbilt, a 4 seed, practically got a better draw as a 4 seed by ending up the the Midwest with Kansas as the 1 seed. Tennessee pushes the ball extremely well. I don't think Louisville has seen this type of Tennessee before. Tennessee beat the number one team at the time, Memphis, who is still a 1 seed in the tournament on Memphis' home floor.
