A poor choice of words on my part. I guess it means our chances of winning are at 0.00%. And that’s not true in any game, if enough strange and freaky things happen. Percentages is a better way to go I guess.
Tennessee is a far better team that we are, but I’ll be interested to see if any of the confidence and momentum from the last two games carrys over today. I think UT has a 90% chance of winning. Maybe 95%. Which means we could win, but it is very very unlikely.
You could make an argument that Tennessee is a top 10 team that has been unlucky. They are 3-5 in SEC play, but look at those losses. SC by 7, Texas by 4, LSU by 2, Oklahoma by 1, Vandy by 1. Those teams are ranked 2, 5, 7, 13, and 22 in the AP poll this week. They could easily be 4-1 in those games.
Even with all those close losses to highly ranked teams, they have a NET ranking of 11 today and are a likely top 16 seed in the tournament.
