As soon as the 2019 NCAA Tournament bracket was released, we thought Tennessee basketball’s path to a Final Four was very favorable. However, it was hit or miss depending on who you talked to.
A lot of the national media picked the Vols to a Final Four, and even some picked them to make an appearance in the National Championship Game.
Even still, some members of Vol nation lost their minds at the thought of playing the Cincinnati in Ohio, basically a home game for the Bearcats. How did that turn out?
While I don’t necessarily consider a 7-10 matchup an upset, if you go strictly off seeds it is, so there is your first upset at the South Region.
