If osu loses and we hold on to win the regular season title, there's a good shot we still end up as a #1 by seasons end. We gotta focus on what we can control. Main goals right now is to win the sec regular season title and have a good showing in the ncaa tournament. Would love to win the sec tourney but a sound showing in the ncaa tournament will carry more weight nationally for the program.

They are the only 16 seed to ever beat a 1 seed when they beat Virginia few years ago.

Rat Poison!

And if I remember correctly, that was the Virginia team that was picked to win it all.

That is correct. The very next year, UVA did win it all, though.

Right now they have us as the 8 spot in tourney which means we get Gonzaga or Baylor in the elite eight if bracket holds serve. I think getting anywhere in the 3 -6 range is what you push for a one or seed not matter much just try to avoid those two as long as you can.

Yep, currently has us in the same bracket with the Zags ... we either need to drop or hope we replace OSU as a number one seed. OSU is currently in region 4, which would be more of a doable run for us.

I’ve learned that in college basketball — very little is absolute

I would wager that the champ won’t be Baylor or Gonzaga. Not because they aren’t good. But with a hot 3 pt shooting team, no one is safe.

As we learned many years ago against Providence.

Right now, all our inside guys are banged up (we weren’t exactly overwhelming there in the first place), and we‘re tired. Need a rest, but it’ll have to come with byes in the SECT.

Really hope Bruner can come back, but I’m beginning to doubt it.

There is actually a week off before the SECT. They place a week off to get any COVID make up games that week.

Why are you doubting that Bruner comes back? He mad meniscus surgery. He is going to be out 2 more weeks, even CNO said as much. The negativity on this board is mind blowing lately. Especially for a team that is 16-5, 11-1 in the SEC, and looking at a 2 seed in the NCAAT.

Seen where big is having their conference tournament in Indianapolis, would this not b an advantage come ncaa tourney time?
