Pretty much agree but I will be a lot more general. Per usual, an SEC team will do better than expected, BUT per usual, multiple SEC teams won't do squat and disappoint. IMO, only 9 SEC teams should get into the NCAA tourney but they will probably squeeze in a 10th...maybe in a play-in game.

I don't have to watch college basketball games to look at schedule results do I? Plus, it is physically impossible for me to watch hundreds of different college teams play. In fact, many games of some note aren't even broadcast...perhaps on ESPN+ which I don't subscribe to.
Since all of you seem to represent yourselves as God's gift to college basketball, let me know when you all win the cash price for perfect brackets. Bad news you will have to split the money I believe.

Funny how you TRY to change the subject from Kentucky's dismal last 13 game record. That is MORE than pretty stupid! You apparently don't think wins and losses even matter. Hey, "they're Kentucky" right. You sound like Alabama fans in football. You are in denial that Kentucky isn't the old Kentucky. Be prepared for another early exit from the tourney.
That’s a whole lot of word salad to say you can’t come up with 8 teams that should be ranked over Kentucky.

LSU can pull upsets
Si se puede! Yes we can, and have done so already-- two of our three conf wins were as bonafide underdogs, so we've pulled upsets this year.

The history of the SEC teams in the tourney says you are clueless in your statement. Oh, and BTW, take away Auburn and Alabama which I never criticized and there is a different story. Oh, and BTW, teams months ago are NOT the same as teams now...some get better...some get worse. There is clear indication that multiple teams...starting with Kentucky and continuing with Ole Miss and a couple of others are doing worse. Don't believe me...check the latest poll. Florida -1, Alabama -2, A&M -5, Miss St -3, Ole Miss gone completely,. I said Ole Miss and Kentucky should be gone. Ole Miss is but I guess the Kentucky name kept them in....certainly wasn't winning only 6 of the last 13 games. Carry on....basketball virgin!

WRONG! Just looked up the odds, Mr Basketball. LSU was FAVORED in 2 of the 3. LSU -1.5 vs Arkansas and LSU -2.5 vs S Carolina. Try again and this time present facts in your post, not fiction.

You still haven’t answered on the question of who are the 8 teams that should be ranked ahead of Kentucky (who stayed at #17 this week).
I even did the work for you.

Seems a bit off to include Florida as some sort of indication SEC teams are getting worse.
On a great win streak, including over #1 on the road, all while missing at least 1 starter every game for weeks.

I DID answer the question. I said I don't keep up with every team in college b basketball. I also passed along the FACT that apparently you don't want to face and never commented on that Kentucky has last 7 of the last 13 games. That includes 4 unranked teams. No team that is below .500 the last 13 games should be in the top 25...period. That is not a radical concept.

I agree with you on the Florida oddity. They didn't invite me to cast my poll vote. However, the others seem righteous to me except Kentucky should have dropped which they didn't. They blew out a bad Vandy team in KY and got blown out by a good Alabama team in AL. That should have dropped them. As a comparison, LSU women led Texas for 3 quarters in Austin and lost by single digits. LSU loses to highly ranked Texas in a close game. LSU destroys Georgia and beats a #14 Kentucky team on the road and LSU drops from #4 to #7. That makes 0 sense when compared to Kentucky staying put at #17 in men's poll bases upon having a similar week.

Outside of Duke the SEC has beaten basically all non-SEC top 25 opponents.
Kentucky might take issue with that statement.

I literally posted for you the teams ranked outside of the Top 25 and their Quad wins on the previous page. You don't have to "have the time".
I did comment on why your cherry picking of a point in a schedule is a non sequitur because everyone else who isn't a fricking idiot takes into consideration the whole body of work. And the fact that Kentucky is down three starters due to injury.
Apparently knowing ball is a radical concept to you.

Exactly when did I agree that polls/Quad ratings are golden. I glanced at some sort of ratings the other day and Vanderbilt was ranked like #44. So what is really funny is you trying to impose what you consider great and I consider garbage...garbage in, garbage out. BTW, I'm not picking a point in time of no consequence. That would be the first part of the season. Kentucky is folding like a cheap lawn chair now and you Kentucky delusionals can't handle it. Too bad for you! As far as injuries goes, 
LSU lost their best player at the beginning of the season. Quit whining and making excuses! Plus, you play with the ones available...this isn't Fantasy Island. Grow up!Posted on 2/24/25 at 7:24 pm to NotaStarGazer

You do realize our 3 best guards are all out with injury, right? This current team is a three legged horse. We'll have 2 of them back for the NCAA tourney.

right back at you. God, you actually thought that was worth a post. Once again, your profile pic is the only thing legit about your account. This post was edited on 2/24/25 at 9:44 pm

Sounds like you will have no excuses right? Wait are you Kentucky whiners going to complain about what color uniforms you have to wear in a game. As I already said, the biggest crybabies in the SEC are Alabama football fans and Kentucky basketball fans. Both of these fanbases think they should be coronated as great teams every year whether they are or not. Good luck in the tourney...you are going to need it.
Once again, 7 out of the last 13 games have been losses...4 to unranked teams!

Not a single “bad” loss in the bunch, and some really good wins.
