re: Would you rather reach the Sweet Sixteen or win the SEC Tournament?

Sweet sixteen just means you’ve beaten two average teams

not necessarily. It could mean you were an 8/9 and beat a 1 seed. Or a 7/10 who beat a 2 seed.

Winning the SEC tournament means you presumably beat the better teams from the conference

Auburn beat the #5, #9, and #6 teams from the SEC this year to win the SECT. If the top seeds get beat in their first game, like this year, it can make the path a lot easier. The #1, #2, and #3 teams all lost their only game in the SECT, leaving Auburn, the #4, as the highest remaining seed left.
