Tennessee (9)
Best Case: A team that hasn't won two straight games in six weeks suddenly gets it together, winning four straight and advancing to the first Final Four in school history. Scotty Hopson shoots lights out to beat Michigan. Skylar McBee, with the name and game of a Duke walk-on, shocks the Blue Devils with a late 3 in the round of 32. Tobias Harris takes a renewed interest in rebounding and post defense, out-scrapping fellow freshman Tristan Thompson and Texas in the Sweet 16. Then, Steven Pearl banks the first made 3 of his college career to beat San Diego State and deliver the Vols to Houston. Harris surprises everyone by returning for his sophomore year, and the NCAA further shocks the world by opting not to punish Bruce Pearl any further. Kentucky and Vanderbilt lose early, and Lane Kiffin comes down with a rash.
Worst Case:: Michigan forces the indiscriminate, scattershooting Volunteers away from the basket, and they launch a barrage of 3-point bricks in a first-round loss. Harris won't get on the floor for loose balls without a written invitation but will go pro within a week. Hopson goes with him. The NCAA hits Pearl with a one-year show-cause penalty and the program with a one-year postseason ban, while absolving Kiffin of all wrongdoing. Kentucky wins another title. Vandy makes the Final Four before Tennessee does.
