Tennessee big, but I'll be rooting for the Bobcats. I hope I'm wrong again.

I don't see Tennessee winning big. I actually think San Diego State would have been a worse match up for OU than Tennessee is. Vols probably still win though.

Tennessee doesn't want the hell that will be inflicted on them! Being a good team in the SUCK conference puts them about 11th in the MAC (even they are better than Toledo)!

Those ugly ass orange kicks don't have another win in them, Bobcats by a little.

Pullin' for OU, but I think Tennessee might be too much. Who knows what will happen though, I knew this bracket was going to be crazy.

Damn OU looked loose and confident today. That was the first time I'd seen them play this year but it seemed like every player was ready to stroke.

I'd love to see OU win again but it's hard to sneak up on yet another one of the big boys.

GL to the bobcats, keep reppin the MAC. Too bad the refs called that loose ball foul on SDSU. Without that I think they beat Tennessee. OU could have ran all over SDSU.

I know OU likes to run but getting into a shootout in this game won't cut it IMO. Could be completely wrong though and it might be the only way win.

They have to play with even more energy than they did yesterday. That won them the game.

If the Cats can knock off Georgetown, they can beat just about anybody (With the exception of Kansas and UK maybe) I like the Cats to win this one! They're riding high! The best part is...everyone is back next year except for KVK. Expect another MAC championship!

I disagree. G-Town is probably better than most of the tournament field, but I felt the whole time that they were very overrated. Tennessee is better IMO.

I haven't been impressed with G-Town much at all this year.

G-Town who had been up and down all season obviously was looking past OU. OU did play one hell of a game. Tenn. won't be taking the Bobcats lightly.

G-Town could only manage to match OU's energy for a few minutes over the course of the entire game--that killed them.

I don't see Tenn. coming out with lack of energy and just overall attitude that G-Town did...Pearl, Chism, et. all are nuts, and you can guarantee they will match OU's energy.

I'll be cheering for OU, think this one will be close for most of the game but the Vols will win by 10-11 by pulling away at the end.

Tennessee barely squeaked by San Diego State last night. Of course Ohio U. will be an underdog, but I think they can shock the world again.

When you have great guards you will contend in the tournament, and the OU backcourt tandem is among the best around -- they put 55 on the G-town last night. The team is hot at the right time; if you are playing with confidence now, you will be dangerous.

Hoya destroyas !!!

If you're looking ahead :) a potential Sweet 16 match up of OU vs. OSU looms.

I loved OU's win, but does anyone really expect them to go 13/23 behind the arc against UT? Bassett is averaging almost 30.0 ppg in his past 5 games, that is 13.0 ppg above his season's average. OU played the perfect game yesterday. Perfection doesn't usually happen two games in a row, but I will be rooting for the Bobcats.

Great win for OU. But I don't see them duplicating the effort and execution along with shooting lights out vs Tenn. On top of that, they only have ONE day to prepare instead of 3 days. And Groce was also familar with GT as an asst coach at OSU.
I think Tenn wins this game going away.

UT favored by 8.5; then again G'town was favored by 13.5. OU is 12-1 against the spread in its last 13 games.

I like the 'Cats by 5.

The only problem with this is that they'll have everyone's full attention from now on. Not saying they didn't have Georgetown's but...

Let's say, hypothetically, that OU wins the whole damn thing. That would mean potentially going through Tennessee, Ohio State, Kansas, Syracuse, and Kentucky. If they can hang 100 on Georgetown they can conceivably beat all of those teams. The little guys can do it once, but there's a reason Cinderella always goes home early. Those said teams have been playing vs future pros and coaches that have won NC's all year long. OU has been playing vs Akron and Buffalo.

I for sure hope they beat Tennessee, but any more than that would mean Ohio State bowed out. So, good luck vs the Vols, then piss off :)
