South Carolina and Clemson will probably be a rock fight of ugly basketball, Clemson on the road isn't the team we played.

We will get a good idea of what UF is or isn't in this one, both these teams will get up and down the court, should be fun to watch. I expect UF to win a close game

That Florida-UNC game will go down as a neutral court, but no way it isn’t a home game for Carolina.

And the SEC wins both games. The SEC has always been far better than the ACC in football & now we're far better than they are in men's basketball

The SEC is just off the chart tough this season. I don't recall a conference that has put up numbers like this ever. Does anyone else remember things differently. There is a downside to this however. Come NCAAT time the SEC will have beaten teams up so much that the seeding process will be skewed with multiple 5, 6, and 7 seeds that should be 2 or 3 seeds. UK may end up being a victim in all this.

The SEC is full of good teams, we will still get the white outs, black outs, t-shirt days where ever we show up

Lastly SEC teams have never supported UK in the post season to the point that UK fans have adopted the same attitude toward them, is the SEC a dominant conference this year, sure it is. Does that make it a good thing for UK, my answer is probably not.

Truly hope we don't have to play any SEC teams in the big dance but it's starting to seem unavoidable

Shades of 1986 NCAAT

Here in NC the past 29 years, I've learned most of the ACC has the "ABC" mindset (ABC = Anybody But Carolina). I'm sure Kansas faces that too. When you are "the best" for a long period of time, I'm sure that happens.

I have been following UK for over 50 years and I do not remember the SEC being this strong. You are correct in that the SEC teams will beat up on each other and the seeding.

I've got you by about 15 years and what we are seeing is nuts, not sure how it will play out in conference games.

UK, UF , Ala and AU seem to play similar styles. UF seems to play more/better defense. Hell I didn't even get to UT who isn't too bad(only #1 in the country) Just about ANY game you win in conference right now looks like a big deal

Broome dislocating his shoulder should be a big concern for Auburn. He knocked it out last year too.
Any other damage to that shoulder could be...GAME OVER.

So with Tennessee you just got to stop Lanier.
With auburn they have to worry about broome injury.
Alabama can't stop anybody giving up 77 a game.


Hmmmm i like this
