Omnibus Thread on SEC Tournament...

[AUDub]

Here’s a really fun thought.

This could very well be the 4th most momentous game of Bama/AU this year. Imagine if we face off in the SEC and NCAA tournaments.

It's official. Bama/Auburn #1 and #2 in the polls; Bama #1 in Coaches' and Auburn #1 in the AP still. Hopefully, they both win Tuesday to set the stage for an epic game Saturday. It will be the first ever meeting between SEC teams ranked #1 and #2. That's hard to believe. And it's Bama/Auburn. Whoa boy!

Clayton sitting out last night gave a few others more playing time. Denzel was great as was our Slovenian freshman PG, Urban Klavžar, who sank 2 treys in 13 minutes of playing time!

This just in. The aforementioned Urban went 3-3 on 3's on Saturday......

Hot start.

I thought 9.5 was a little much.

We look like we’re limping. I wonder if CBM’s injury is a little worse than we initially thought

 

[Bazza]

If you didn't see....Condo goes out 30 seconds into our game with an ankle injury. Looked bad....

He was SEC Player of the Week last week.

Hopefully not season ending for the kid.....

 

[AUDub]

I just wanna see this trap game put away lol

 

[AUDub]

felt good to cover that one. Thankfully put it away comfortably in the end. Let’s see Bama’s trap game now lol

 

[AUDub]

looks like UF comfortably putting away MSU as well.

 

[AUDub]

Hope Condon is OK Bazza. That would be a heavy hit.

The second half of this UGA aTm game is a Mike White masterclass (not in a good way)

 

[Bazza]

Hope Condon is OK Bazza. That would be a heavy hit.

Reporting Xrays came back negative, so diagnosed as a low ankle sprain, so should be able to play after taking a few games off. 🙏

It feels like Alabama/Florida/Auburn have separated themselves at the top of the SEC.

But our schedule from here on out is absolutely brutal.

UConn's head coach waved goodbye and pointed to his left hand twice, shouting "two rings" at the Creighton crowd, referring to his team's two national titles.

What a clown......

What a clown......

best freaking coach!

He is a clown. But this kind of pettiness is what makes sports fun, IMO. So much of the fun has been sucked out of the game.

Is it beneath a coach to do this? Yes. Would I want my coach doing this? No. But I can laugh at this numbskull doing it.

Poor USCe needs to sacrifice a chicken or something.

Hey ESPN finally made some adjustments to correct the train wreck output of the BPI with regard to tournament projections

Men's Bubble Watch: Which teams are sweating out the bracket reveal?

North Carolina and Texas are among several teams that can't be sure what will happen on Selection Sunday.

www.espn.com

ESPN's Bubble Watch, a projection of the teams vying for bids into the 2025 men's college basketball tournament, launched a little over a week ago, and we heard your feedback about some teams that were too high in ESPN Analytics' BPI forecast (ahem, North Carolina) and others that might not have been receiving odds reflective of their quality wins (see, Louisville).

You'll notice that Wednesday's version of Bubble Watch -- a file we've been updating and will continue to do so from now until Selection Sunday on March 16 -- looks a bit different, with new odds and a few teams that moved into different tiers. Upon further investigation, ESPN Analytics discovered there was an issue within the BPI forecast that affected the way the model was processing each team's chances, including the way it was taking in NET data in order to generate quad wins/losses.

ESPN Analytics has corrected the data. In the previous column update, 22 teams were listed as locks and 38 total teams were listed as on the bubble. Now there are 29 teams that are locks -- including Louisville, Maryland and Memphis -- and 29 teams on the bubble. (This includes UNC, which is now holding on for its tourney life.) Other teams that had previously been on the bubble -- most notably Northwestern, Iowa and Villanova -- are now absent, having dropped below the probability threshold in the updated model.

We realize these are big changes, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Our hope is you'll bookmark and follow along with every odds change as we look ahead to less than a month until the conference tournaments tip off -- and just a little longer than that before Selection Sunday.
