UT missing Ziegler and Milicic beat UF by 20. UF is beating the doors off Auburn.
Make it make sense

Even great teams have off days. Look at the 1996 Wildcats when they played Mississippi State in the SEC tournament.
And Florida is missing arguably their second best player in Martin today.
18-22 kids, man. The people going nuts over the performance of kids is creepy stuff.
There is no sense when discussing teams in college. Only a few years do teams pretty much do what we want them to do, win em all or only lose a game or 3. This year Auburn has been that team as well as Bama in the SEC. But you cannot make sense out of any of it.
And Mississippi State was throwing in all kinds of junk in that game. Really frustrating to watch live.
It's pretty condescending that you think 21 and 22-year-olds are kids. That goes for 18 and 19 year olds as well. People in that age category saved the world twice from Germany. I'm sure they'd be insulted if they heard somebody like you calling them children.
I don’t know about creepy but living and dying with it doesn’t seem prudent.

I love the conspiracy about Pitino not playing to win that game... Walker's minutes were suspiciously low that game.
Man, condescending is a great word for CSB. Every single post of his is about as preachy as it gets. Dude thinks his 💩 doesn’t stink.
Make sense of it? Like baseball, basketball is a really random sport where anything can happen from game to game. It's why I stick to betting on NCAAF and the NFL, with a few exceptions like University Six under Kenny Payne.
In sports, the best team does not always win. Simple!!!!
So when people say “we can’t beat…” or “we can’t lose to…” they are being dumb.
This is why I always thing of each game we have a probability of X% to win that game.

Young people have changed since the generation that were in foxholes.
SEC is tough. You either bring it or get beat.
We went into UT without key players and won.
We are way better than Arkansas but lost relatively handily at home.
We play UT Tuesday - which UT will show up? I think we roll because I have a feeling today we may have turned the corner on defense. We need that in-your-grill mentality on the perimeter like we had today, for the rest of the year. Butler seemed to trigger something in others, especially Jaxson and Oweh. Carr was high energy today as well, and then Brea is turning into a surprise of an assist guy.
But the biggest growth to me this year has been Garrison and Williams. They have turned it on.

UF, Aub, Bama are all 3 legit F4 teams.
UK and UT are capable of a F4 run but probably a slight step below as they can beat anyone but are more susceptible to a bad matchup type game in an earlier round
This. Absolutely the reason we lost of Arkansas and Ole Miss. If decent defensive teams have a hot shooting day, they win 90% of the time.
On any given night, everybody can Wang Chung !! Auburn only beat SC 66-63.
Pearl doesn't receive hardly any compliments from the talking heads. He's an overrated dirtbag that always falls flat after all the rah rah stuff runs it's course.
It’s crazy there are at least 5 teams who can make a case for a F4 run and about 3-4 others who could get hot and do it in one conference.
And we are one of them. That is the case even if we drop a few more.
The SEC has had an historic dominating season of any conference in the history of college basketball, arguably. No conference in history has had from top to bottom, the most impressive performance on court so far this year.
It would stand to reason the SEC could get one or more teams into the Final Four, and the highest seeded SEC teams will presumably be a one seed. The SEC may have 2 or even 3 number one seeds in the NCAA tournament. The conference will send many teams to the tournament and they will be seeded well.
Unless the SEC collectively falls flat and chokes, one would presume to think the conference will send at least one team to the final four. So for the season, it's been awesome watching SEC hoops !
Duke will get their #1 overall seed. Cooper Flagg mania ! Upsets and surprises will ensue with March Madness. Try to position yourself as well as you can to prepare for it. ultra level playing field in the new NIL and portal era
as other posters have said : It's all about the matchups... and the other good observations about the conference are valid as well.
Auburn to me seems clearly a cut above everyone. But they can be beaten. Alabama looks strong again this year.
Houston & Iowa State look as good as anyone else too. Tom Izzo is a MASTER. My hat's tipped for him. Same for Pitino. Amazing. Of those, one or more I can see making a Final Four run. Yes, St. John's could make a fairy tale run. And it won't be such a fairy tale to me, if it were to happen. That's march madness.
SAME FOR KENTUCKY. I love our team. LOVE our direction, we still make the joint hop with action when we come to the game! When we're in town ? Let's rock! Bring it on !
BBN ..... I call upon the BLUE MIST ! and watch it descend ! And KNOW it still does !
Same now as it ever has been as far as I am concerned.... with an ULTRA level playing field, ncaa tournament storyline twists, and a new era of NIL and the portal .... it's as wide open as your pocketbook and imagination can take you.
I don't know where it ends this season for us, but it might end up epic great. I'm just happy to see us still commanding the respect and getting the best shots from our opponents. It's been great for me. It's going to be a GODSEND to watch Kentucky under Pope here on out, compared to what we had suffered with Cal, imho.
but otherwise, I can't try to make much more sense.
tl;dr version :
SEC is historically great
Duke & Cooper Flagg ... he was only seventeen !
March Madness ultra level playing field
all about the matchups
UK getting a great year in such trying circumstances - truly overcoming many things
Go Big Blue !
PS - Pope still Coach of the Year for me. He just uplifts me
