Not putting any more choices.

No idea about Louisiana, but apparently we're one of the trendy picks to get knocked out first game.

Then Duke round 2 IF we get there.

IF we win both I'd be thrilled, but I don't see it.

I figure they lose first round. If they somehow slide past that, Duke beats them. I've said for two months they won't make it to the sweet sixteen. The Lady Vols have a shot to go far tho

Tennessee is a 10.5 point favorite over Louisiana. Not that that means anything, but surely they get up for the tournament game and take care of business. If they win, Duke is currently on a 9 game win streak and their last 2 wins were over top 15 ranked teams. That one could get ugly.

I'll call it now that it'll be either Houston or Duke winning it all.
After watching Houston yesterday I don't think they have a chance of going far. They are undisciplined and selfish. Most of their players never saw a shot they didn't like, or a pass that they did like. I'll call it now, Houston loses to the Auburn/Iowa winner.

I'm sticking with Houston and Duke. Just for the simple reason that's my first and last name 🤣

Last year we were playing our best ball heading into the dance and we barely unpacked before we were headed home. This year we're staggering into it like a drunk trying to find home after last call. So, I'll hammer the over. Elite 8 here we come where unfortunately the ride ends against Marquette in a showdown of ex long horn coaches. Yeah it'll still be a "what if" ZZ had been healthy but CRB silences the critics after his most impressive tourney run to date due to injuries and match ups…

Or we get bounced by Louisiana after we once again go scoreless from the floor in the last 5 minutes. Who in the actual F knows with this team I wouldn't touch any TN betting action with any of your alls money.

UT has a pretty good team but losing that point guard makes a big difference. Scoring can be an issue which makes it difficult to go deep in the tournament. Good defense will go a long way, but at some point, an opponent is likely to have a crazy good shooting game and a team has to be able to keep up. You never know when this will happen; usually some team shoots lights-out and wins in an upset then goes back to normal the next game and gets blown out.

Louisiana plays zero defense. Tennessee should be able to out-athlete them and get the win. Duke maybe the hottest team in the tournament right now.
