SEC SEC SEC

[phyrekat]

SEC off to their usual stellar start in the tournament. Miss St getting housed by Mich St.
I'm so sick of this trash conference, beer muscles galore unless the other team's jersey says something other than Kentucky.

 

[howitis]

huh?

 

[know1]

But the conference is so much stronger now???

I know nothing, but I have a strong suspicion that half the SEC teams will be gone after this weekend. I think Auburn, TN and MAYBE UK make it to next weekend.

 

[Fox2monk]

Need Hubbard to go Superman, he’s MIA of course so far.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

I predict every team but two will lose before the eclipse.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

What language is that?

 

[TucsonCat]

I mean, yeah probably. SEC always flames out but 1130 Thursday seems a little early.

Funny, don't hear much complaining about conference schools with losing records in the tourney with an SEC team. Seemed to only be an issue when Big 10 or ACC teams did it.

 

[phyrekat]

What language is that?

It's called English. I apologize if my words are too difficult for you to understand.

 

[phyrekat]

I know nothing, but I have a strong suspicion that half the SEC teams will be gone after this weekend. I think Auburn, TN and MAYBE UK make it to next weekend.

I fully expect there to be only two SEC teams left after the first two rounds.
Miss St, TA&M, SC and Tennessee won't be able to play their signature "can't call em all" defense in the tournament.
Florida will flame out.
I expect Alabama or UK to have a cold shooting night and go out Sat/Sun.
Auburn is the only one I am confident about making it through the weekend.

I really hope I'm wrong, and will gladly eat crow if I am, but history suggests otherwise.

Mich st. 10-1 all time against sec teams in ncaa tournament.... interesting stat

 

[KYExtemper]

I picked Michigan State in this game. MS State might come back but in a tossup game, I'm not picking against Izzo in the tournament.

 

[BamosReed]

Mark Pope and the Little 12 getting smacked by Doo-Cain.

 

[dckala2]

bulldogs need to close their eyes and imagine they're at rupp.

why isn't their 18% 3 point shooter stroking today?

I should have honestly, looking not so good. Every time I pick the SEC they let me down. Mini run finally at least.

 

[dckala2]

sparty shooting almost 60%, this will be close at the end.

 

[Fox2monk]

Hubbard just got dunked on.

Yeah, the only time I can ever remember Sparty losing to an SEC team in March was to our 78 national champs in the elite 8 …and even that was tight struggle.

And, if your stat is correct, then I guess that was the only time ever.

Yep, they left their beer muscles in Rupp, apparently.

I used to make the homer picks of SEC teams, but I finally learned my lesson.

It’s because they are getting to the bunnies.

 

[know1]

Well....even though I have no faith in the SEC teams, I did pick Miss St. over Mich St. Looks like I'm losing the very first game. Par for the course for me....AND for the SEC.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

huh?

He/She is 0 and 1 on their brackets.

 

[saxonburgcat]

I picked them too. I never learn.

 

[wildcats4real]

12 rebounds with 7 min to go that’s how you get beat

 

[phyrekat]

He/She is 0 and 1 on their brackets.

No, I picked Mich St.

 

[ChicagoCat1990]

Thanks MSU for ruining my perfect bracket!

 

[Seth_C]

The first game of the tournament (sorry first four) and the SEC is already shitting the bed. Sounds about right.

 

[know1]

S-Easy, S-Easy, S-Easy

 

[MegaBlue05]

One of the alleged best defensive teams in the country just got boat raced by a team of bricklayers.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Meh, I always expect average SEC teams to lose rd 1 in the NCAAT. Bottom line, they stink. They play their best against UK, so we always think they're better than they are in the bigger picture, but they're usually not.

 

[CondorCat]

I predict every team but two will lose before the eclipse.

Ha ha! I noticed that the solar eclipse is on Monday, April 8th -- the same day as the championship game. Too bad the Final Four isn't in Indianapolis this year where the eclipse will be total.

 

[blackcat714]

Over rated SEC sucks as usual

 

[BIG BLUE GURU]

Maybe it is just us and a recent trend of the SEC beating up on Kentucky that we feel the SEC is much improved? Again part of Cal lowering expectations and talking about how good the SEC is due to them beating us. Kentucky teams in the 90's, 2000,s and early 2010's would have dominated the SEC this year period.

Me too. Never learn.

 

[mdlUK.1]

Hubbard couldn’t miss against us and couldn’t throw it in the ocean today.

 

[Kentucky fan 1989]

I am not sure I want Mark Pope as our coach yet.

You are not incorrect

You're fine, MSU won. 🤪

 

[Fox2monk]

Never again. Michigan state isn’t even good this year, I’ve watched them so much. Teams only get up for us though.

 

[Fox2monk]

They looked awful today, throwing up junk. He never once took a timeout to gather them either. Let them just play all game.
