Four Big Ten programs among the top seven seeds.

It'd be a shame if some teams from the lowly SEC whipped their arse in the NCAAT.

I think it's safe to say that a much larger number of programs will be using HDI after this article.

Excellent article.

It really is. Norlander (and Boone) did a great job.

I bet we will be better than Kentucky is this year.

There's a reason why I clowned on them last year. For years, they complain about the SEC being so weak and holding them back, but once a few programs get their act together they can't wait to see us fall.

They do kind of have a point, I guess - but it sure is nice seeing half their fan base tell us that they will take Oats away from us whenever they want while the other half says he's just a flash in the pan etc, etc, etc - meanwhile we swept their arse by 30+ points en route to an SEC Championship and a 2 seed in the NCAAT that they aren't going to qualify for.

Oats would be an all around terrible fit at Kentucky. He's too unfiltered with the media and his whole blue collar basketball mentality just doesn't mesh with a program that has largely branded itself as pretty much the exact opposite of that. They'd be over him after like 3 years unless he won a championship.

Wonder why we are supposed to score so many? We’ve been struggling offensively and it wouldn’t surprise me if we were a little sluggish after clinching Saturday

AU has been the worst defensive team in the conference since February 1st - i'm sure that has a lot to do with it.

Im for Baylor. If WV wins they will probably jump ahead of us on the 2 seed line.

I know he's being listed as questionable/doubtful/game time decision, but i'll be surprised if he doesn't play tonight honestly.

80 to 85 really isn't that much for us, we have scored 85 or over in nine games this season. Auburn has maybe the worst D in the conference, there is a good chance we score over 90 imo, we scored 94 vs them at their place.

Things I am looking for tonight that would be good signs for our offense going into the tournaments...

In no particular order

1.Herb scores over 10 - has success getting to the basket and scoring/getting fouled
2.JQ stays hot
3.Shack shoots over 33% from three
4.Bruner continues to look healthier
5.Petty starts to get hot again - hits 3 or more threes
6.Primo comes back to life
