Johnny, I agree with your first point about the PIG. As to your second point about a rematch with PurWho and Kaintucky... no way. That ship has sailed. I see those ne'er-do-wells everyday. As to your third point about the midwest and people not sure of SP, I agree. Good analogy with Gonzaga and Butler. However, here where I live in Indiana, EVERYBODY knows about the Peacocks. I could argue that SP is the epitome of a lower/mid major there has ever been. There is zero chance a 15 seed will ever get to an EE like SP did 2 years ago (*caviat, this year by SP). Unfortunately, I bear no ill will against Tennessee. But the best part of the tournament Kaintucky and PurWho will not win. Go Peacocks!

Tickets have not been distributed yet. More info when it becomes available. Based on past history you can presume behind the visitor or in this case ,the lower seed bench.

Of the 8 losses suffered by the Vols, only two of the eight had them scoring more than 70 points. When they score under 70, they appear to be pretty vulnerable.. If we play defense like we normally do and control the tempo, we just might have a legit shot at an upset. Keep it close and the pressure really builds on them.

Good info Dreamweaver. I haven't seen UT play but you're spot on about tempo. All of their over/under games were 150's. I look for UT to pressure from the tip and go for the knockout early. SP needs to survive the first 8 minutes and we'll be ok. Go Peacocks!

Great to see some our longtime posters/fans making the trip. Enjoy and go help us get a W! I’ll be heading to JC for the watch party, not sure where the school is having it yet.
One thing I thought about today. In 2022 we started to really take off when we went to our Big lineup with Drame, Ndefo, Diahame/Rupert. This weekend was the first time we went with Washington, Hogue, Sow on the floor together.

No one thought we would beat Kentucky, Purdue and Murray State in 2022. Like Mets pitcher Tug McGraw once said " Ya Gotta Believe"! They went on to win the 1969 World Series by beating the Baltimore Orioles in a major upset.

That bottle of Blanton's looks good eport. Lets crack some open my next trip down to Atlanta and at least celebrate us getting another crack at the tournament again.

Youngalum, thanks for the article. Excellent. It's good to see players loyal to the school.
Speaking of the bigs, If I recall Rupert hit a few shots from the top of the key (3 pointer) to keep UK honest. Perhaps Sow hit a couple would help open things up. 36 hours. Go Peacocks!
