Even with 9 losses, they were still a 3 seed because they played a brutal schedule and finished winning 10 of their last 13 entering the tournament. They also didn't have many bad losses. Their losses were to: LaTech twice-2 seed ODU-1 seed Stanford-1 seed Arkansas-not a tournament team Georgia-2 seed Vanderbilt-6 seed Florida-3 seed LSU-4 seed Auburn-7 seed Most of those wins were hard fought and their effort/grit was never questioned like this team's is. This year Tennessee has lost to: Penn State-probably not a tournament team Virginia Tech-probably not a tournament team Baylor-likely 1 seed Texas-likely a top 3 seed Mississippi State-likely a top 2 seed Auburn-likely not a tournament team Ole Miss-likely not a tournament team Georgia-likely not a tournament team Texas A&M-likely a 6-9 seed 5 losses to teams probably not in the tournament and their effort has been in question all season. When the team has played hard, they've proven they can be a top 10 caliber squad by beating 3 top 10 teams and playing Texas very close. They can also collapse and lose to anybody. In the NCAAs they'll be a terrifying 2nd round matchup for any top 4 seed because I really do believe they can upset anybody besides maybe UCONN, but they can also lose to any team in the field so it's a total crapshoot.
