Now we have to face a desperate UT team at their place, as if the Vols needed anymore motivation.
If we go up there and pull this off....

A well-earned reward for working hard. Congrats to our coaches and players. Roll Tide!
I'm sure this is not popular, but I'm not crazy about being ranked number 1 heading into Knoxville to play a mad bunch. Number 1 can wait to April in my opinion...
Of course we didn't end up #1 in football, but I wonder how many schools have had both the football and basketball teams ranked #1 in the same season...
I’m not nervous or scared about the guys being ranked #1
It will be a new challenge for sure though.
In hindsight the OU loss was preparing us for this.
They didn’t take OU seriously and thought they could just show up and win and they paid for it.
Since then they have shown up every game and played with intensity and focus.
If they carry that into the Tenn game and Win then look out... we might win out the regular season and stay #1
One thing is for sure... Coach Oates has changed everything including Goals and Expectations.

2006 Florida is the only team/school I can think of..
They won Back to Back NC’s in Basketball in 05-06 and 06-07
Then the Football team won the NC in 2006 too.
Ohio State was ranked #1 in bball and football during the 2006-2007 school year.
They also did it in 2010-2011
They also did it in 2010-2011
I hate being ranked #1. Not because the team doesn't deserve it because I believe they do.
I hope the young guys on this team can stay grounded and handle it well.
Someone said it earlier and I will echo the statement: Oklahoma may have prepared us for this.
I will say that I believe this group of players and coaching staff are better equipped to handle this than past teams.
This group seems to have bought 100% into the team mentality and play well together so I'm hoping this doesn't change that dynamic.

Even though them being ranked #1 makes some of us nervous they've earned it. Hope they stay focused and beat Tenn by double digits. RTR!!
I agree with you. CNO really has this thang humming for real! I'm excited to see how this thing plays out for seasons to come. Reaching feats like this really does speak to the success he's been having here with the program.
On a side note, I feel better about us beating Tenn Wednesday. It has the potential to be a hard-fought game but the fact remains, they have to outscore us.
But Purdue will eventually be back #1 before the regular season is up. They have a chance to play another ranked team in the Hoosiers. The only way this changes is if TAMU will be ranked by the time we play them.
I know the argument but it's not valid here. It's been so long since we were so strong in bball, and the season is not nearly done but we look good and the kids are having fun. Good to be back in another sport. Talking to you baseball, softball, swimming, whomever.
You can also look at it as a Tennessee team that starting to question themselves. I’ve never really understood the excitement over Vescovi.
