The SEC was very deep this year. Probably as deep as it's ever been with quality teams, but you really don't have that 1 or 2 REALLY good teams.

The two I see most capable of making a run are Kentucky and Tennessee. I don't like Kentucky vs Arizona, so I'll go with Tennessee but it wouldn't surprise me at all to have no SEC teams in the field by the time the sweet 16 rolls around

Bama or Tennessee, IMO

I actually have Tennessee, Bama, Auburn, and Kentucky all making the Sweet 16 but only Tennessee making the Elite 8.

I think WVU will be too much for Bama. They looked pretty good during the B12 Tourney.

I have UTk, UK and Auburn making the Sweet 16. I don't have any of them making it out alive. If I had to put a # on it, I would have UTk as most likely to make it to the S16 and out of it as well.

Mississippi State - If your asking for deepest run between both men and women.

Agree on UT, but I think Florida has a much better shot to win two games than Bama does. Auburn likely does too

I like Bama's physicality for a Tourney run.

I am definitely not of the "SEC Rah Rah" crowd. Usually, I don't give a damn about any other SEC team but my own.
HOWEVER, this year, a lot of people made a big deal about the SEC being back. I would like for all the teams in the conference to win as much as possible to stick it to all the "experts" in the BB sports media who are hoping the SEC fails big time. (Even UA and that is not easy to say.) I will be pulling for all the SEC teams this year instead of just UK as I have become accustomed to. Good luck to all.

I think UT makes the deepest run, though.

if AU can get some of their swagger back, they are still the most dangerous team when they are running and shooting 3's.

Kentucky looked like the real deal in the secT. I say UK or AU

UT. Would have been Auburn at full strength.

I would be very surprised to see no sweet 16 teams from the SEC, I would not be surprised to see no final 4 teams though.

With 8 getting in, it would be extremely difficult to fail out the entire sweet 16. Then again, no one is really THAT good, especially with Auburn severely gimped.

Tennessee played so well over their heads this year IMO and I dont think Cincinnati or Virginia is that great of teams, so they could actually get out that bracket.

Alabama is just way too hot or cold. They could get beat in round 1 by VT by 15 points and it surprise no one.

I've got Tennessee.

Our bracket sets up well for at least a Sweet Sixteen appearance. Anything less than that and I'll be slightly disappointed. If we make it that far and draw Cincy in the Sweet Sixteen like most are predicting, I'd say you could flip a coin for either team to see who advances to the Elite 8.

I've got Tennessee too. It's strange ESPN is picking Tennessee as the #3 "not to trust," while saying Florida is the low lying seed poised to make the deepest run.

Almost sounds like a fan from a team that didn't even make it to round 1.

Its not about pouting or bitterness. Butler and Charleston are good teams. I just don't think Arkansas is that great and Auburn has lost last 4 out of 6. Auburn has been seriously struggling. St. Bonaventure and SF Austin both have really good teams. I may be going out on a limb with Florida but F em. They got swept by Georgia so they cant be that good.
Do you seriously think Missouri, Kentucky and Bama are getting past #1,#1 and #2 seeds? gtfo.
Tennessee has the best shot to go on the deepest run and I cant stand those hillnecks.
