Does getting the bye in the SEC tourney actually hurt the bubble teams?

Makes getting a needed tourney win significantly more difficult, imo.

Not Ole Miss. Beating MSU or Auburn wouldnt do jack for us. We need to beat Mizz or UK.

I doubt it. They aren't going to play any other bubble teams until the later rounds anyway, so they can avoid embarrassing loses.

Well, it hurts the fact that you cant get easy wins early in the tourney, but also it helps in that you won't pick up an early loss and be one and done.

Even more important than winning games in the sect is not losing them.

Padding the win column with an extra win and going 1-1 is better than getting bounced in your first game. I think Mizzou and UT are going to benefit from that extra win.

I have no clue who you are but you sound really ignorant. Stick to debating red vs. blue solo cups and which of your bros has a better messenger bag.

You can't read and comprehend a simple statement?

In theory it shouldn't hurt you because the extra win you get is almost never going to be quality, but last year Tennessee getting the 2 seed and going 1 and done was killer imo.

Good one. He's just ignorant as to what he's talking about. Has so much of his cum been squirted in your eyes that you can't see that?

I don't think it hurts as well. It's not the number of wins, but the quality of wins that count.

Quite the opposite. Keeps them rested to help them get a win against a quality team that has played the day before. Games against quality teams are really the only games that can help you move into the tournament. Games against bad teams can only hurt you.

Finishing top 4 in the SEC should get you in. What has happened to our hoops?

He has been gone from TD for awhile. He was buying counterfeit drugs from Marshall Henderson.


His hindquarters are sore.
