    The national media says Tennessee has struggled without Ziegler. The truth is Tennessee lost 5 of the 8 games BEFORE Ziegler got hurt. With a 2-2 record after the injury, Tennessee has won only 5 of their last 12 games.

    They will be in big trouble against Duke, which is on a 9 game winning streak.

    I tend to agree and picked Duke in my bracket. Interesting, though, a couple of metric favor TN, including ESPN's matchup predictor which is giving them a 74.4% chance to win.

    I also think UcheaT's Barnes will get out-coached by Scheyer.

    UT defense took Duke out of their game in 1st half.

    The ACC is now one of the weaker conferences.

    Wow! Where was THIS Tennessee team when they were losing 7 of their last 12 games.

    Or, has the ACC dropped off that much this year? After all, UNC didn't even make the tournament this year.

    Bad year for the league. Louisville and FSU were awful, neither reached 10 wins. VT and WF were middling. GA Tech fired their HC. Mike Brey retired from ND. UNC flopped. Duke was in Year 1 post Coach K. NC State was ok.
