Bruce Pearl in … The Cardinal’s Sin

2008 SEC ChampionsWith a win tonight in the Sweet 16, the BasketVols will take the next step in cementing their place as the greatest Tennessee Mens Basektball team of all time. They will be tested, that is for sure, but everything tells me that tonight Bruce and the Barbarians will be ready, and will not disappoint.

Though I rarely make prognostications, I predict Tennessee will defeat Rick Pitino and the Louisville Cardinals tonight somewhere on the order of 76 - 70. Hopefully I’m not completely crazy, but I believe in this team.

For a more in depth breakdown, see the Bruce Ball Blog and Rocky Top Talk — any statistical analysis I would write would pale in comparison. For a lighter, and really ponderous take on the match-up, slide on over to Fulmer’s Belly.  Tipoff is tonight at 9:57 on CBS.

In the meantime … (note spy movie music in the background…)

It’s time for a battle … it’s time for a reckoning … and it’s time for Pitino and the Louisville Cardinals to pay for their actions, and Bruce Pearl is the ready hold them accountable!

The Cardinal’s Sin

Go Vols! Beat the Cardinals!

    Gotta love Mini P. I doubt slick Rick would be caught dead in an off-the-rack Wal-Mart suit though. I think the guy’s suits are actually worth more than my car.

    Last time I predicted a Vols victory, I said they’d comfortably beat South Carolina in the SEC tourney. I’m keeping my mouth shut from here out.
