The SEC gets 8 teams in the tournament field. Good showing for the conference!
What are your predictions and thoughts on what the SEC is looking at?
Alabama 1 seed in the south : I Really don't like their chances coming out of this bracket to make a Final Four appearance. Sweet sixteen loss to Virginia looms on the horizon for them in my book. IF they can get that far, and no upsets on the other side of their bracket, I can see Baylor or Arizona either one being able to beat them.
Missouri 7 seed in the south : I like them in the first round game but not entirely sold on that.t Arizona ends them certainly, if they make it that far.
Auburn 9 seed in the Midwest : They're not playing well at all. it's a 50/50 shot to beat Iowa, but Houston should most certainly end them there, should they make it that far.
Texas A&M as a 7 seed : How do you finish second in the SEC, make the SECT finals, only to end up a 7 seed with Kentucky, UT, Bama, all seeded ahead and Missouri equal to them in the national seed line? I don't know how that happens, I suppose the knock is their OOC strength of schedule. But damn, raw deal nonetheless. Very interesting they potentially get Texas in the second game, too. Tell me the NCAA S.C. doesn't look at potential storylines when they make this shit up! LOL ! A&M got rimwrecked with this draw.
Mississippi State 11 seed play in game : Great they got a bid. I can't see them getting past Iowa State if they win the play in game, though.
Arkansas 8 seed. Another 50/50 matchup in the first round against Illini. Kansas licking chops for some BBQ hog in second game. Tough draw for Arkansas. Sorry ThreeHognight.
Tennessee a 4 seed in our region. It figures. I'm sure the NCAATSC would love to see UT make it to play Kentucky for the third time this year, if both teams could make it that far. Won't happen though. UT got a rough draw with red hot Duke staring at them. Not a good deal for the volunteers.
Kentucky a 6 seed ? We got the best deal of the entire SEC draw. Doable side of our bracket with a legit shot of going REALLY DEEP. If not for the fact we got CCC and the team is neurotically unpredictable, I honestly don't know what they will do. I'd love to say make it to the sweet sixteen. But getting the heave ho in the first game is just as likely. How could we not feel any other way, at this point?
With the exception of Alabama making it to the sweet sixteen, I really do not see a single other SEC team making it that far. And I'm not even sure if Bama' will make it THAT far. It would be a total hoot to see KENTUCKY make it to the sweet sixteen as the sole surviving SEC team this year. ONCE AGAIN. Seems impossible, but as crazy as it would be, it could actually happen.
.0000000000001 chance of that happening, but hey, I'm saying :
WE GOT A CHANCE ! lol !
Go Big Blue !
