Which Tourney team should have been replaced by the SEC snubs?

This is a bit of hind-sight, second guessing, but we got very little respect as a league. Georgia, Vandy*, South Carolina, and Florida were all top 64 RPI.

The first team I see that had no business getting into the dance over Vandy or Florida is Texas Tech, and the result on the court proves it. Cal and Pitt were both less than impressive, although Pitt does play good defense. USC?

I mean, every other P5 conference got at least 5 teams in, and the SEC gets a big-time snub. The Big 12 and Pac were both obscenely overrated.

It seems like there should have been at least 4 SEC teams in, or at a minimum, have 2 play-in teams.





*I don't consider a play-in as being "in"

Wouldn't results on the court prove Vandy shouldn't make it? Didn't they just lose by 20?

Yes. We should've gotten in instead of Vandy. That's it.

Vandy had to play Wichita State, at team that won its conference. That's the same conference as Northern Iowa, who was pretty much dominating the fricking longhorns until the last five minutes.

You can't ignore the obvious bias for the ACC, Pac, and Big 12 when it comes to seeding.

Do you think SC could have beat Wichita State?

I think that team should have been a 10 seed, minimum. That is certainly a much better team than half the big 12 and most of the Pac 12.

I think the SEC is very underrated as a conference. Only having 2 teams in is criminal.

No. They would've gotten blown out just like Vandy.

South Carolina should have been in and vandy should have been out. None of the others deserved to be in.
