Don't think it matters who we play, we're atrocious on the road. Meaning, regardless of the 'neutral' site, it still isn't at CLA, and I have seen nothing that tells me we would even be competitive.

Every league road loss was by 10+ points, aside from @ Vanderbilt where we lost by 3. Two of those losses were by 30 and 35.

I hope Tennessee goes one and done in the SEC tourney. We are pretty much locked in a 2 seed now and we don’t have a deep team to begin with. They need to rest up.

Wonder if that isn't the mindset of a lot of coaches of top teams.

Twice Todd Golden has had his NCAA tournament appearances hurt by injuries to big in the conference tournament, mostly recently with Handlogten last year.

There's the competitive side to win, and at least if getting double byes don't have to win as many games. But what is the reward? Seeding will likely already be determined

Not my team

we gotta get that first win and then see what we can do on a neutral court against one of the team's that beat us

we could tumble to the 3 spot, which, isn't the end of the world but still

I will say I would be super pissed to be the 2 seed that drew our 3 seed

Does Tenner have tiebreaker over Bama if Tenner wins and Bama loses next game?

Little reward for Auburn. Maybe stat padding?

Big reward for Florida. It's no NCAAt run but its hardware for Golden and his boys if they can earn it.

Florida is a good team and deserves hardware. Go get it.

Yes. Vols would be the 3 seed.

If they both win, Vols would be the 4 seed. If Tenn loses, Bama is the 3 seed and the 4 seed is up in the air. See scenarios above. Vols control their own destiny though. If they beat SC they are either #3 or #4. It would be a huge upset for Carolina to beat them in Knoxville.

Looking at this, Florida might as well rest their starters this Saturday.

LSU gets no respect. They get paired with Vanderbilt -- they're the only team who starts off with a TRUE ROAD GAME

You don’t deserve any respect. There are 14 competitive teams in the conference. Minus LSU and Cocks.

It's pretty wild that we'll have a better seed in the NCAA tourney than we will in the SEC tourney.
