Good breakdown of why Tennessee got a #2 seed vs. #1 seed
"KNOXVILLE — There was disappointment, frustration and confusion. And it showed how far the Tennessee men’s basketball program has come. 
Selection Sunday was a tad somber in Knoxville when it was revealed the Volunteers were given a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament instead of a No. 1 they feel they deserved."
Believe it: Tennessee is tournament central.
"...Tennessee has the most NCAA tournament juice this season. Normally an insignificant hoops state, it possesses two bona fide national-title contenders in Memphis and Tennessee; another Sweet 16 favorite in Vanderbilt; and two more dance partners in Austin Peay and Belmont. No state can boast a more impressive package. Not California. Not North Carolina. Not Kentucky. Not Indiana."
