2027 Tennessee Volunteers - 30-8 National Champions
- Wow, what a ride.
- Really thought we were headed for another disaster after getting picked off by Missouri
- Then I thought we had a bad draw. We had UNC, Kansas, Purdue, Louisville, and Duke in our bracket.
- Then upsets started coming along, and we got some great draws.
- Not to mention in the other bracket, 13 Belmont made an improbable run to the final four, who we would meet.
- Lastly, we had a 90% chance to LOSE against a stacked Texas team. They only played 7 guys, but they were all studs. They play a slow style of offense with a 2-3 zone. It's a perfect match up for us with unathletic guards(While being really good players).
- We had a 6 point lead with 2 minutes left, and nearly blew it. Scored the final 2 to win it with 5 seconds left to win the Natty.
