Not weird at all. We're barely beating teams that we should be crushing- absolutely running them out of the gym and we're not. They know it, but our fans don't.. you can't demand respect for slipping by teams with RPIs around 190.
Until utk beat UK our best win was Harvard, from the 22nd ranked conference. utk and Harvard that's our resume' so far, not too impressive.
When did UTK beat UK?

I'd bet that at least 95% of the AP voters did not watch Memphis v. Marshall.

More like 99%. But, they saw 73-72 and most were aware of USM's throttling of Marshall a few days previous.

You're right, I should have checked, what I was thinking of is what I read on the board. Some mt.org deductive reasoning, We beat utk, Alabama beat KY and utk beat Bama so we should beat KY..
Even so, utk is our "best" win.
