You most likely are right on both points. Let me ask you a question and that is if before the season started TN would have been told that they would make the tour and be one and done in that tournament (NCAA) would most fans say that they would have had a great season? I for one would have said that before the season but now I want more than "one and done". I would like to see them win the first game for sure.
