Would Tennessee or Auburn trade your "championship" to still be alive?

I sure as shite wouldn't trade our next game for one of your trophies.

Exiting the SEC tourney on Saturday is a massive advantage if you get the Thursday draw in the dance.
Think how much scouting and coaching is involved. Travel day is Tuesday for the the Thursday draw. That Extra day is a massive advantage.
If the SEC was smart our Championship game would be on Saturday.
How does a coach get home late Sunday night and scout 3 possible opponents and have a decent practice with guys that played 3 days straight?
He has to give them Monday off. You basically get a shoot around to implement your gameplan. That extra 24 hours is pretty big if you think about it.

Depends - to go to a final 4/elite 8? Yes. To lose in the sweet 16? No lol

I also agree. Maybe just the F4… With the SECT trophy, we at least have some hardware to show for our season. Otherwise, nothing.

lol this dude wouldn’t trade a SECT title to still be playing basketball?
Lmao yea right. What a newbie to the game you are.
Also, I’ve had a few Auburn fans admit in other threads they take away the SECR title to still be playing. Getting bounced the first weekend crushes being good in the regular season

Getting put out in first round, or getting put out in final round. It all means the same.. you got put out. So unless vols was winning it all, id rather keep the championship.

Right now, obviously. Like others have said though you haven't really done anything outside of an extremely fortunate draw.
If you beat Gonzaga I'll grant you that I would trade positions and give you the credit you so desperately seek.

I don’t even think they factor in conference tournament championship titles when ranking programs all time. That is how meaningless they are
You analogy on when you get out out is insane. You literally just said you wouldn’t take an Elite 8 (you’ve been once) or final 4 (you’ve never been) over a conference tournament title
Basketball is all about March Madness

This board has been very educational to me when it comes to other fanbases.

Championships still trump finishing in 16th place.
I’ll give you Final Four since technically you are cutting nets for winning your region so it also feels like winning a championship but anything short of that, give me the championships.
NC
Final 4
Reg season Conf Champ
Conf Tournament Champ
Elite 8
Sweet 16
That’s the order to me.

Elite 8 or better, yes.
Sweet Sixteen or worse, no.
We've had 6 trips to the Sweet Sixteen since 2000. Which is 3x more than Arkansas in that same time frame. We've had 0 Tournament Championships since 1979. I'll take the hardware short of an Elite 8 run or better

I put a lot of value on being in the tourney.
Sucks to be out, but happy with the success the team had. They couldn't find a good rhythm the last part of the season. Then got their arse kicked by Miami.
Oh well, I much rather be in the position Auburn is at right now then what it historically has been. It feels good to be a part of the conversation and getting trolled about losing in the second round of March Madness play.

You clearly don't understand the situation retard. We haven't won the SECT in 40 years.. we have been to multiple sweet 16 and went to the sweet 16 only 3 years ago. So yeah I would rather win the SECT for the first time in decades than play 1 more game which gets you no hardware. When you lose in the Sweet 16 no one remembers you

I wouldn't trade a trophy to keep playing as bad as we've been. Maybe if we would've been playing well and just run into a hot team. If I know where the season ends, I'd go Elite 8>SEC Title>Sweet 16, personally.
Posted on 3/23/22 at 9:14 am to Vols98
I can 10000% guarantee people will remember who was in the Sweet 16 over who won the SEC tournament.
Just check the ratings for March madness compared to the SEC tournament. It’s not even close son

Depends. Do we win the s16 game?
If not, then hell no. In a month, no one will remember who all were regional semi-finalists. The SEC Championship banner and trophy will always be there.

I would only trade it for a Final4 appearance…
