May be best for Kentucky to avoid practice so they aren’t gassed if they make it a few rounds. They have potential to play well

If we lose today, it’s not going to be because they didn’t practice in Bridgestone.

Which 3 darkhorse teams could cut down the nets in Nashville?

quote:

It’s the middle of March, and that can only mean one thing: the SEC Tournament has arrived at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.

On paper, it would be foolish to pick against the red-hot Florida Gators. Todd Golden’s squad overcame a slow (ish) start and spent the winter looking like a juggernaut, the reigning national champions who seem intent on a repeat. Then you have the challengers, the 3 teams that also earned double-byes — John Calipari has his Arkansas Razorbacks playing like they’re ready for another March run, Alabama remains an offensive machine and Vanderbilt has made its home city proud by earning a coveted double-bye.

But if you’ve watched a single Saturday of SEC basketball this season, you know that “on paper” is usually where logic goes to die. This league is a wood-chipper. It’s a conference where a team can drop 100 points on Tuesday and go cold from the perimeter on Saturday. While the top 4 seeds have the luxury of resting until Friday, history tells us that a hungry team with momentum is often more dangerous than a rested team with rust.

This will not stop the chest thumping... never understood it.. any team can have a couple of really good years.. in a whole history... yeah you dominated a lesser conference... Alabama is the Proper #2 to Kentucky.. of course it's FL at #2 now just because of what they accomplish when they are good. Bama has overall had the better teams in the SEC historically than ALL but UK.

Oklahoma +30000
LSU +30000
Mississippi State +30000

South Carolina's odds are "Why are you even betting on them?"

But then you include LSU, so no way that's the issue.

I don't know if we've moved up to a 3 seed, but if so that would be great. All of the 1 seeds feel a step above everyone else; I'd rather have a shot at them in the regional final than in the Sweet 16.

Not that Michigan State is some easy out, but at least they have a headscratcher of a loss as well (Minnesota) and a blowout to Wisconsin, so I can see at least some avenues of attack against them.

You're bolder than I am betting on Kentucky at this point.

I have no doubt this will be a one possession game at the end.
