where does the Tennessee volunteers rank in the scc and the nation?(basketball)?

Tennessee is currently #8 in the country and they are first in the SEC in men's basketball. In womens basketball they are ranked 5th in the country and are in second place in the SEC. I gave both because you didnt specify mens or womens.

The last time I checked, Wake Forest and Miami (FL) were two .500 or better teams in the ACC. Duke has bounced back from their loss to Georgetown, which if you remember, they only lost by 3 points. In addition, they have beaten Wake Forest and Miami (FL) by a combined 44 points. That's domination. That's what pollsters like to see.\n\nVillanova's performance last week was incredible, knocking off UConn and Georgetown, but the last ranked team they played was Louisville, and they aren't ranked anymore (and probably won't make the tournament). \n\nDuke has consistantly beat ranked teams, which they have played a lot more. I think the strength of schedule has a lot to do with it.\n\nThen again, polls aren't too important in college basketball.

OSU is ranked #1 in the ESPN/USA today poll, that's why they are #1 on ESPN.  UCLA is ranked #1 in the AP poll.  \n\nWith the media bias, it is definitely true.  West coast teams typically don't get media attention because many of the college b-ball powerhousese are on the East coast.  The Pac-10 only has few number of powerhouse teams (Arizona, UCLA, and Washington).  Including Gonzaga in the mix, those are the only high-caliber teams from the west coast.  The Pac-10 won't get respect until they start competiting against other power conferences like the ACC.  This also affects draft prospectives because recruiters won't see these players on TV as oppose to the other prospects from the east.\n\nBeing a UCLA alum and hardcore UCLA sports fan, I know how good our team is and we definitely have a chance to go all the way this season.  Howland is the right guy for the job and I expect him to stay there for a VERY LONG time.  With a good recruiting class for next year (especially getting two of the best high school seniors in Kevin Love and Chance Stanback) and the years after, UCLA has a chance of winning multiple championships.  \n\nEven though they don't get respect, everyone will see how good this team will be in the near future.\n\nGO BRUINS!!!!!

PR = points+ rebounds+assits = Power Rating\n\nJordan - 41.6\nWest - 39.5\n"Piston" - 33.8\nGervin - 33.6\nDrexler - 32.1\nD. Thompson - 30.1\nH. Greer - 28.2\nL. Hudson - 27.4\nW. Free - 26.7\nGoodrich - 26.5  \n\nW. Davis - 25.7\nE. Monroe - 25.7\nS. Jones - 25.1\n\nIt is so close I added an additional 3 players.\nThe Power Rating is a formula to settle arguments/discussions. It is an objective rating.\n\nI usually don't rate active/current players.\n\nIf you people know anything about b-ball, you would know that the Big  O was a point guard and not a shooting guard. He averaged almost 10 assists a game.

Since this is in the "Football" thread, the answer is Clemson. But SC holds its own against Clemson in other sports like Baseball (Ray Tanner is amazing, multiple trips to the CWS) and Basketball (2005 NIT Champs). \n\nUnfortunately, in South Carolina, the only thing that counts is football. And Clemson should talk: 1981 National Champions and by the following November, the NCAA had placed them on three-years probation for "for giving cash, cars and other gifts to its football players". Coincidence?

There is a good possibility that they will. Tennessee didn't look impressive in their last win against Vandy. I see them dropping and I see UNC cracking the top ten and ending up a 2 seed for the NCAA tourney.

no no no no do not listen to those girls. they are wrong. JJ just set the ACC all time leading scoring mark but he's not the ncaa all time leader. that goest to Pistol Pete Maravich of LSU back in the day with over 3,000 points.

Michigan State Spartans.\n\nThey are an up and coming team.  They had two seniors this year and beyond that a lot of frosh and sophomores.  I like their style of play and the fact they aren't afraid to play anyone at anytime (they played Tennessee [Elite Eight], Maryland [National Champs], Rutgers [Sweet Sixteen and Big East champs], Oklahoma [Sweet 16 and Big 12 Champs] and LSU [Final Four and SEC Champs] this year during the regular season).  Their coach is a real fireball and will be known as one of the great coaches in the next few years.

Underrated was definitely G. Mason, no doubt.\n\nOverrated?  How about any team from the Big Ten.  At least Gonzaga made it out of the first weekend.  They were a three seed, they were supposed to lose in the sweet 16, which they did.  Not one team from the Big Ten got to the Sweet 16 even though they supposedly were the top rated conference.  That's overrated.

You are forgetting about Louisville, the Kentucky Derby, Bluegrass music, the Cumberland Pass, and Daniel Boone.  Plenty of history there.  \n\nAnd BTW, is Louisville University any worse than UT?  And who is the perennial top 5 in Basketball?  I'll give you two hints: They dress either in cardinal red or in wildcat blue.  And what is the best known bat in the major leagues?  Is it not the Louisville Slugger?\n\nMy sister used to live in Memphis.  Nobody more racist in the whole Mississippi Valley than the people of Memphis.  Stuck up so that their noses looked as if they were perpetually bleeding.  If your skin is not lily white and you can relate three or four generations back to plantation owners Mama Belle and Uncle Jim Bob, you are not blue-blooded enough tobe their friend.  I drove TN from Chattanooga to Memphis.  Beautifu, indeed.  But I don't think I would ever EVER live there.  I happen to be a double or triple minority and thelastthing I need is for some man dressed in a bedsheet to come knocking on my door just because my last name is not Johnson, Jones, Claggett, Richards or similar.  \n\nKentucky may not be the best, but neither is Tennessee.  If I had a choice I'd rather stay put than attempt to live in either.

Gaters, Noah is the best center remaing and he will have a big game. The gators will fianlly break the 60 mark on UCLA, where the last team to do it was Gonzaga.

I think Randall Hanke of Providence will shoot the best percentage next year. He shoot an amazing 68% last year and he averaged 13 pts a game.\nBut the person that shoots the best percentage obviously isn't necassarily the best shooter in the country.\nI think the best shooter will be from the SEC. Either Chris Lofton of Tennessee or Lee Humphrey of Florida. Chris is probably better though with 47% fg, 44% 3p, on 17ppg to Lee's 48% fg, 46% 3p, on 11ppg this year.
