I’m sad we got shipped out to Portland while A&M and Missouri get to play in OKC and St. Louis.

Just kind of the way it played out with us being a 4 seed. My opinion is we deserved a 3 seed, but it is what it is.

We were not going to be in Duke or Florida's bracket as a 4 seed. The committee had Alabama ahead of us so they got the Midwest 4 spot. So at that point it left only one location for us to be, and that is Portland and Arizona's West Bracket.

The only arguments not to would be OOC schedule and an OT H2H game played in Tuscaloosa, neither of which should offset what happened in the SECT IMO.

According to warrennolan, OOC SOS
Arkansas #6
Alabama #1
Vandy #56

It doesn’t matter. It’s our programs 8th conference tournament title…it’s not banner worthy. But if you’re playing a game, the idea is to win it.

I havent been here to post much but its really been under my skin that Vandy has been consistently seeded higher than us in Lunardi's bracket each update. We have a head to head win over them and their schedule strength is lower than ours by 8 spots.

They have 10 Q1 wins, which is 3 more than us. In those wins are games against Wake Forest, VCU, UCF, & Saint Mary's. Not exactly a murderer row.

Apologies guys...been extremely busy with a new start up and a couple other of my ventures.

Let's get it going in March

Each teams SEC opponents record out to side

This stretch will give us a chance to possibly up our defensive stats, or show just how weak our defense really is...and given a good outcome, run through this stretch and be 9-2 in SEC play with Auburn, @ Bama, Missouri, aTm, @ Florida, Texas, and @ Missouri to play.
