I'm pretty sure 99% of programs would rather win the NCAA tournament over Conference tournament. Maybe Tennessee is in that 1%?



Did I say anything about winning it and that is was more important? Someone said overall record is all that matters, which is just an ignorant statement in basketball.

That's not really true. at all. Overall record is worthless, if you don't have any quality wins. Not saying that's the case for LSU, just that the statement "overall record...which is really that matters" is patently false.

Please don't bring logic to the discussion. Blanket statements and generalizations seem to be better arguments.

Yeah there was a big debate a couple years ago about Gonzaga being the #1 overall seed, even though they were like 34-0.

I remember Pearl's last year we were something like 18-12, a handful of SEC teams had better records, and we still made the tournament because we had an absurd number of top 50 wins.

Like most in the country.

Last year despite being 34-0, Wichita State wasn't the overall number 1 seed. Florida, alas, with a worse overall record, was the overall top seed. They were debating as to whether even make Wichita State a 1 seed. Kentucky then beat them in the 2nd round.

State only 1 game out of 3rd place in the SEC. This conference sucks in basketball.

Don't you start weekly "OMG THE RANT IS TALKING ABOUT LSU" threads during football season?

I'm not a big WM fan (nor him of me), but give us a break.

Awesome, so Alabama's drumming of Tennessee counts as a quality win?


Sure does. Congrats on a high-quality, resume-building win.

Mississippi State 1 game out of 3rd place after 1/3 of the season? I wouldn't have taken that bet.

Kentucky cheats, you know it, I know it, everyone else knows it. I can't wait for the NCAA to rain down shite upon your scumbag coach and scumbag basketball program.

Worry about Donnie Basketball making it unscathed with the "show clause".

Sandy Bell is Teflon, she on the watch and keeping the hounds sniffing anywhere near the program.

Pretty sure I've started one of those in complete jest some months ago. Feel free to check my thread history if you feel compelled. Eta: I assume you are referring to the aTm count thread? Sorry, but I couldn't help myself. It was almost the entire first page of the rant. Not sure how that is even remotely the same as what I called WM out for, but whatever.

And I don't call out UK fans, I called out the one poster. I have no need to give y'all a break when the other posters are just fine.

You do seem to have some grudge against me since my Obama thread from a while back though. Idk anyone else who holds internet grudges like you. Get over it.
