7 SEC teams in the sweet sixteen

Every team that had a seed where you expected to make a Sweet 16, they did. Then you had some teams like Arkansas and Ole Miss also crashing the party.

For however dominant the top 5 teams were in the SEC this season, you would have expected at least one to fail. But nope :)

And I don't want to read into a small sample but you have to wonder about Arkansas and Ole Miss.

Coached by guys that have been there before. Cal's had success in this thing (however long ago that may have been). And he seems to do well when seeded low.

Chris Beard had a lot of success at Texas Tech.
 
lol u know.......I just remembered. For the longest time we all thought UK was being paired with Florida/St Johns towards the end. Had that happened it would have been us vs Arkansas. That would have been wild lol.
 
I'll be honest outside of St Johns who is already out, the other 2s are relatively similar in strength.

I'd rather take my chances with UT a 3rd time than Alabama a 4th time
We would not have been allowed to play Alabama since we played them 3 times already until the E8 or after.

I would have preferred another non SEC team

Ole Miss would have to play with just 3 on the floor to lose this in final 4 minutes. 7 SEC teams out of 16 left is ridiculous. The best conference in the country by far and it shows.

Good point.

And watching MSU struggle against New Mexico right now maybe they would have been better to have faced.
 
Then again I guess the counter to that is if we were paired with the non SEC team then we would have faced one of the SEC 1 seeds.

Not that any of those would be a walk in the park but Florida and Auburn I'm not sure we match up all that well.

Yeah but that win we gave up a historically bad points per poss on defensive and took a historically good day on offense to win. Plus game was at Rupp.

I don’t think we matchup all that well with UF.

UT OTOH…
