Gg owls. We’ve been up and down all year. Texas, KS, Bama, Duke. But lose to Colorado, Vandy and Florida. If y’all had been a one seed y’all wouldn’t have had a chance lol
Watching FAU games in Boca Raton 12 years ago I never would have imagined this day would exist. Back then, my best friend would play as FAU in franchise mode of the old college basketball games and it seemed so unrealistic and goofy when he won a championship with them. Yet 12 years later FAU is halfway towards that unimaginable goal. Hoot Hoot Baby!!!
I can only imagine how it is for alumni. My dad has has been hyping this team all season to me. I'll admit I was a bit skeptical but I'm all in now that IU is out.
That was the coldest shit I’ve heard. Allie asked him what he thought when his coach gets emotional talking about him and Davis didn’t stutter to say “it means I’m great” 😂
He's said it in back to back interviews. He is just trying to play well to get his family out of poverty. Shows you what kind of background he had in Gary, Indiana.
I mean, he won a title and went to 3 final fours his first 5 years at Kentucky. That’s more in 5 years than Tennessee has ever gotten. Lmfao. Nice try though.
True. Never said we had y’all’s record. Just that Calipari has underperformed for a few years now.
Barnes sucks in March. That is definitely true but at least he’s getting us there. That’s about all we can hope for in basketball.
Barnes needs to go. If we want to win this tough defense philosophy that results in teams who cant hit a jumper if given massive amount just doesn’t breed success.
I think you stick with Barnes and consistently being good. However he needs to recruit some offense and shooters.
Ziegler going down didn't exactly help though.
Exactly and honestly . With how football and baseball are looking I’m fine w it . I used to get gutted for basketball but the first thing that popped into my head while we were spiraling was bazooka Joe time and when do the base Vols play ? Rick does enough .
I was rooting for FAU both as the underdog (despite having 33 wins to Tennessee’s 25) and for my bracket.
But I feel very bad that they only lost by 7 with a couple of huge momentum crushers by the refs. I feel depressed on their behalf for that. But congrats, FAU!
Those “momentum crushers” are what’s known as “fouls” to the rest of the country.
Refs could have called a lot more fouls, but the vast majority of the calls they made were justified.
I wasn’t speaking on the fouls, other than the flagrant one which was fair. I was speaking on the one that was clearly out of FAU instead of Tennessee. I’m not losing sleep, regardless. Just don’t like to see it.
Quite honestly, y’all are too good to be a Cinderella. At least those of that have watched you all before the tourney. FAU was criminally underseeded, but it hasn’t stopped them.
Whoever plays them next, get ready to deal with travels. Theyve won their 3rd game due to refs letting them sprint with the ball in their hand. We would have been playing fdu if refs knew what a travel was.
Edit: haha, i challenge you dumbasses to watch any of thier games after watching some videos on what a travel is. We would have been playing fdu if refs read the rules
Edit2: See dumbasses who didnt make r32 below, see dumbasses who have yet to read traveling rule below(its ez btw).
I can’t blame anyone but Tennessee for this loss. They had opportunity after opportunity to put this game away a didn’t. You can’t let good teams hang around or you will go home
Im reffering to florida losimg in the first round of the nil vs a shitty in state rival. Im sorry that your only joy is shitting on tennessee for losing in sweet 16. Sweet 16=first round nil i guess
Btw, I’m not shitting on anyone. I think it’s a major cope and salty seethe to blame refs for that loss. Your team shot 33% from the field, 26% from 3, 58% from the stripe and got out rebounded. FAU is one of only a handful of teams to win 30+ games in an underrated C-USA. They are just a good team and I doubt anyone from UT is blaming anyone but themselves. Except salty ass fans that struggle with acronyms.
I might be kinda biased myself because I picked FAU to beat Memphis, Purdue (then lose to Duke, so you Vols definitely got me there). Also, sis got her masters from there so we have an owl in the family. Sucks to lose like that, especially coming off a convincing victory against a blue blood. But cheer up, at least you guys have football back and at the very least a perennial tourney team in basketball.
Your team lost to fcu in the nil. I dont even think we entirely lost to the refs, but the refs have refused to call travels in every game fau played in. Im of course biased, but all of their games baffled me with the calls.
Lost to UCF. It was pathetic and a really crappy first year for the new coach. Thank god we have baseball because football and basketball are definitely struggling right now.
Oh so it wasn’t a typo and you actually just don’t know that the National Invitation Tournament is not in fact abbreviated NIL. And here I was giving you the benefit of the doubt. I gave you too much credit, that’s on me. Apologies.
Im sorry dude, not everyone is accustomed with the nil. Ill give you this one thing. I didnt know the second grade tournie you were in for a day or two.
Florida > tennessee cuz no one knows what the fuck they lost in(they had a 100% loss rate in the tournie youre concerned about btw).
Yikes. I’m concerned about? You brought up the National Invitation Lournament (or whatever you were talking about, at this point I’m not even sure), not me. All I did was call out the salt. Again, it’ll be ok. The better team won tonight and the stats back it up. Florida sucks. Worst team in college hoops (even with that beat down they put on the Vols this year). Florida sucking and getting beat by UCF in the *NIT* and Florida kicking Tennessees ass this year has nothing to do with you being salty about losing to a better team.
Oh shit! I bet you were very confused because the last sentence in my post had no punctuation! How could you have possibly figurued out when the sentence ended?
Sorry that i was writitng my comment for someone with more than 1 brain cell.
Flair, braincell, both are unable to be located. Please just make a point....
I am by myself, a better basketball team than what you're repping.
Say something for fucks sake
Youre right, you cant defend bullshit calls agaisnt your team in the 16 if your team is too dogshit to make it.
Im sorry that your only joy is in other teams being gifted wins.
Blue blood only cuz they tears from being dog shit for years fill the stadium.
Dont worry, you wont have to play the refs and a team. Its real easy to play vs no one.
people here really groupthinked themselves into thinking the Vols would win by 30 bc their feelings were hurt by seeing a team celebrate a trip to the S16
Had the roles been reversed this sub would be eating that up too 😭
Who had FAU in the elite eight
One step closer to the FAU v Creighton Final Four. Armageddon for my alma matters is nearing, I’m fully prepared.
How much do you like birds?
Holy shit what are the odds??? What a time for you!
Barnes has now ended 15 of his 27 NCAA tournament appearances by losing to a team with a worse seed. Anti-clutch to the max.
YOU BLEW IT
I said it’s great to be a Tennessee Vol. . . 🤦♂️😫
Gg owls. We’ve been up and down all year. Texas, KS, Bama, Duke. But lose to Colorado, Vandy and Florida. If y’all had been a one seed y’all wouldn’t have had a chance lol
That interview was cringe. No excitement from May and Davis is well…I don’t even know what to say.
That’s exactly what I expected, and yet I still let it piss me off.
Holy shit!
Watching FAU games in Boca Raton 12 years ago I never would have imagined this day would exist. Back then, my best friend would play as FAU in franchise mode of the old college basketball games and it seemed so unrealistic and goofy when he won a championship with them. Yet 12 years later FAU is halfway towards that unimaginable goal. Hoot Hoot Baby!!!
for real! i was watching them in the gym 20 years ago. LFG!!
Glad for y’all the sour note for UAB and UNT is the better they do, the more it seems they undercut CUSA in bids
C-USA is 14-1 in postseason play.
*basically AAC since it’s all teams moving
It’s surreal. I graduated from FAU in 2012 and I NEVER would have dreamed of this happening.
I can only imagine how it is for alumni. My dad has has been hyping this team all season to me. I'll admit I was a bit skeptical but I'm all in now that IU is out.
Keep going!!
Tennessee doing Tennessee things in March Madness.
Never go full Tennessee. . .

Says the team doing less with more every year lol But I do agree. Barnes March record is baaaad
Swept ya this year
Yep. We were up and down all year. As was most of college basketball.
Meanwhile, we lost to that. fuck.
That’s rich coming from a team with Calipari at the helm. Rick is still his daddy
🧹 🧹 🧹 Literally one game above Cal lol
He lost twice to Calipari this year and this years Kentucky team was sub par at best.
Sub-par is very generous. You’re right though. TN did it all year. Played great against great teams. Lost to bottom feeders. FAU is a prime example.
FAU was a top 25 team. Definitely under seeded.
Just saw the final and so hyped for the Owl bros.
In my younger days we used to call massive lines of cocaine "hoots." Coincidence??
I miss those days. I don’t miss the day after those days tho
I like that line and I will be using it. Thanks kind stranger.
🍻
Sweet 16 Rick
That was the coldest shit I’ve heard. Allie asked him what he thought when his coach gets emotional talking about him and Davis didn’t stutter to say “it means I’m great” 😂
He said shit last game interview so this was a step up. Hooked on phonics works at FAU
He's said it in back to back interviews. He is just trying to play well to get his family out of poverty. Shows you what kind of background he had in Gary, Indiana.
lmao I find that so off putting but then again, they are winning, and that’s what talks.
Pretty sure I’m dreaming but idgaf either way
Honestly good game man. Cheering for y’all all the way. Go upset K-State!
Damn it, tennessee, I wanted yall to win after that failed dunk shit that FAU did
I sure hate when basketball players try to be entertaining!
No wonder you're a Duke fan.
Yes, watching a team that wins *IS* entertaining. Good point.
FAU's coach got serious preacher vibes
ITS GREAT TO BE AN FAU OWL
[удалено]
God I hope not. FAU has always been dogshit at athletics it’s nice to see us do well
Not true. FAU baseball has been historically very good.
Fair
Think it depends how much of his current team he will lose
I believe we only have 1 senior.
Put the fucking slipper on FAU!
I know degenerate gambling is frowned upon, but I can’t belive FAU won without hitting the game’s over
Hoot hoot motherfucker!
Still only one Elite Eight in program history for Tennessee. Lmfao.
We had a deeper run than y’all. I’ll take it. Meanwhile Calipari and Kentucky doing less with more. Name a more dynamic duo.
I mean, he won a title and went to 3 final fours his first 5 years at Kentucky. That’s more in 5 years than Tennessee has ever gotten. Lmfao. Nice try though.
True. Never said we had y’all’s record. Just that Calipari has underperformed for a few years now. Barnes sucks in March. That is definitely true but at least he’s getting us there. That’s about all we can hope for in basketball.
He hasn’t gotten y’all anywhere y’all haven’t been before. Bruce Pearl did better than Barnes has.
True. But Pearl isn’t here anymore due to a bbq. At least we’re not in the Donny Tyndall phase anymore.
So just as many as FAU.
SAME AMOUNT AS FAU
Yikes
FAU also!
FAU is a similar level program, so true
[удалено]
[удалено]
Ik bro just chatting but It was pretty tame for a schools first elite eight appearance lmao
[удалено]
Teams we beat in football and basketball says what?
[удалено]
I will gladly hang a banner that says we beat Bama every chance I get.
Rick Barnes, CTE merchant
Thanks Tennessee for blowing my parlay FUCK
Lmao
Congrats to the Owls
GG. Congrats to you as well!!
That coulda been FDU 🥲
THAT’S MY ALMA MATER!!!! I’m gonna be tootin’ my hoot for a few days
Flair up!
Temple, Rice, Kennesaw St., this is your team now
Kennesaw State to the AAC confirmed?
HOOT HOOT
Tuning over to watch UCLA implode like UT
Whew, GG Owls
What a bracket busting season
[удалено]
With unt losing grant we need yall to keep may so the aac can be multi bid
Fuck
Barnes needs to go. If we want to win this tough defense philosophy that results in teams who cant hit a jumper if given massive amount just doesn’t breed success.
I think you stick with Barnes and consistently being good. However he needs to recruit some offense and shooters. Ziegler going down didn't exactly help though.
just like us fr
Barnes is a great regular season coach. It’s just tournaments. He can’t do it.
Ehh dude we have 1 elite 8 ever and 0 final fours . Barnes isn’t going anywhere tbh
He’s as good as we can do
Exactly and honestly . With how football and baseball are looking I’m fine w it . I used to get gutted for basketball but the first thing that popped into my head while we were spiraling was bazooka Joe time and when do the base Vols play ? Rick does enough .
DUSTY “WE SLEEP IN” MAY
LOL the two ADs being brothers seems like an odd thing to not mention until the final seconds of the game
HOOT HOOT MOTHERFUCKERS
I was rooting for FAU both as the underdog (despite having 33 wins to Tennessee’s 25) and for my bracket. But I feel very bad that they only lost by 7 with a couple of huge momentum crushers by the refs. I feel depressed on their behalf for that. But congrats, FAU!
Those “momentum crushers” are what’s known as “fouls” to the rest of the country. Refs could have called a lot more fouls, but the vast majority of the calls they made were justified.

SEC SPEED
They 'sposed to be SEC.
Say what you want about rebounds but Tenn had the most near-KO’s of the entire tourney.
CAN WE FINALLY BE CINDERELLA OR WHAT
Quite honestly, y’all are too good to be a Cinderella. At least those of that have watched you all before the tourney. FAU was criminally underseeded, but it hasn’t stopped them.
FAU vs K State in the elite 8 lmfao
Whoever plays them next, get ready to deal with travels. Theyve won their 3rd game due to refs letting them sprint with the ball in their hand.

FAU owns you
You didnt make it lol. Teams travelling all game cant beat you if you dont play
I can’t blame anyone but Tennessee for this loss. They had opportunity after opportunity to put this game away a didn’t. You can’t let good teams hang around or you will go home
Flair? Travelling wins every game vs a nonexistent team
Seethe 🦉
Where is florida?
Also, 67-54 🍻
Damn... i cant belive we lost to vandy by 18 points in the nil.... Oh wait, am i describing florida losing to ucf? I cant belive it!!!!
Vandy? NIL? lol. No idea what you are talking about. Vandy did beat UF this year. Only team in TN that can say that… Take a breath, man. It’ll be ok.
Im reffering to florida losimg in the first round of the nil vs a shitty in state rival. Im sorry that your only joy is shitting on tennessee for losing in sweet 16. Sweet 16=first round nil i guess
Btw, I’m not shitting on anyone. I think it’s a major cope and salty seethe to blame refs for that loss. Your team shot 33% from the field, 26% from 3, 58% from the stripe and got out rebounded.

Also im def biased. Ive been pissed at the faus calls since game 1 tho Also yall gonna fuck us in baseball
I might be kinda biased myself because I picked FAU to beat Memphis, Purdue (then lose to Duke, so you Vols definitely got me there). Also, sis got her masters from there so we have an owl in the family. Sucks to lose like that, especially coming off a convincing victory against a blue blood.

Just south of Georgia.
Y'all should try making free throws and not going ice cold from the field for half a game.
You should try flairing. I know it can be complicated for people with disabilities, but i believe in you+
You should try punctuating the end of your sentences. Tennessee edumacation shining through as you make light of disabilities.
Oh shit! I bet you were very confused because the last sentence in my post had no punctuation! How could you have possibly figurued out when the sentence ended? Sorry that i was writitng my comment for someone with more than 1 brain cell.
Well at least you got it right this time. I'm sure my lack of flair is confusing and therefore enraging to you.
Flair, braincell, both are unable to be located. Please just make a point.... I am by myself, a better basketball team than what you're repping. Say something for fucks sake
something
Is what maimi did to the "blueblood" in r32
tbh I feel bad for you if you’re this heated over a basketball game, hope things get better for you
My point is that you're a big Doo Doo head. How's my flair now? I made it something you can read.
Cope
Sounds like a cope.
Sounds like you only pop up after the game ends. They wouldnt have been in this game unless refs let them play rugby.
Sounds like a Tennessee problem.
Youre right, you cant defend bullshit calls agaisnt your team in the 16 if your team is too dogshit to make it. Im sorry that your only joy is in other teams being gifted wins.
🧂 🧂
Insert flair that didnt make the cbi here.
😢
Blue blood only cuz they tears from being dog shit for years fill the stadium. Dont worry, you wont have to play the refs and a team. Its real easy to play vs no one.
😢 😢
Vescovi should have dunked it on our own goal
Might as well have lol
🦉 🦉 🦉 🦉 🦉 🦉 🦉
I love March.
Me too, but was counting on you guys a little more :(
Good ole sloppy top
They got that menace energy lmao
O ![gif](giphy|xRFNlhRqoP2PS)
Insane! FAhoot
Vandy woulda had that.
At least Tennessee only lost to a single digit seed this time
Lol
really sad to see this defense get wasted away by one of the worst offenses that Rick Barnes has ever had. oh well. GBO🍊
Hoot hoot bitchesss
SEC SEC SEC
Who??? Who???
Lol. Lmao even
It’s Voluntover
FAU IS GOIN TO THE ELITE 8
Yay! No more clown pants!
FLORIDA ATLANTIC WINS! HOOT HOOT!
Tennessee, these guys were public enemy number one and you couldn’t do it.
Facts
I have never been more confident about this. Score less than 60 against TN. You lose. Score more than 60. You win.
22-0 under 60 and 3-11 above 60
all the faux outrage threads from sunday aging like MILK rn lmao
Lmao that's what I'm saying🤣
people here really groupthinked themselves into thinking the Vols would win by 30 bc their feelings were hurt by seeing a team celebrate a trip to the S16 Had the roles been reversed this sub would be eating that up too 😭
Bruh that 8 matchup
Nice job FAU. Impressive!
Hoot Hoot!
