Game Thread: The SEC Tournament Thread

[AUDub]

Guess I might as well start it.

Here’s the bracket.



As one would expect, we got the best draw in avoiding Bama or Florida until Sunday. Don’t want anything to do with either of those 2. Tennessee is good but offensively limited and definitely the worst of the 4 double byes.

That being said, I wouldn’t complain too much about an early exit. We definitely could use the breather and have already earned a banner.

Texas and Oklahoma are the teams with the most riding on this. They need a couple of wins like people in Hell need ice water to get on the good side of the bubble.

Arkansas is playing good ball lately.

Yeah, they’re weighed down by the first two-thirds of the season. But I wouldn’t want to play them now.

They’re a different team from a month ago.

They get Thiero back they will be scary.

And even though Big Z had a very bad game against us he quietly had an excellent season. Don’t want to face that matchup nightmare again.

No offense to my friends here....but would love a rematch with Auburn in the finals.

Next wish would be to play Duke in the NCAA Final.

Hey...a guy can dream!

If you're going to dream, dream big.

Rodney and Porter’s seats are rocket hot.

Going to go with a Bacon Bits win on the first one. Vandy in Game 2. Toss up on Game 3. And the Dawgs in Game 4.

(Note: times are all Central. Add 1 hour for Eastern)

I think today goes chalk, but hey tournament play is weird.

 

[AUDub]

Both teams shooting pretty good to open.

Arkansas is making USC pay for their turnovers though.

Arkansas was leading by 17 at halftime. They've scored 14 points in the 2nd half and lead by just 1 with about 3 minutes to go.

Well the hawgs are going to pull it out just by the hair on their chinny chin chins.

 

[Bazza]

Carolina with 2 VERY BAD 3 point attempts has pretty much sealed their fate, I'm afraid.

Last time we likely see CMB in a college game. He will excel at the next level. Any team would love to have a player like him on their team!

EDIT - oops.....totally forgot about the NIT so unless he opts out we may indeed see him again in a college game.

feels like texas would need to win the SEC to get in

It looks like they are cruising today. And frankly, it would not shock me if they pulled off upsets in the next 2 games.

Is Vandy's ticket to the dance already stamped?

Vandy might get knocked to the play-in game. They were list as safe to start the day

I think if they beat aTm they’re back on the good side of the bubble.
