SEC SEC SEC

[ralphdaltonfan]

I'm more disturbed by Cal calling Mississippi State "an Elite 8 caliber team" after defeating them. Well they didn't even compete in Round 1.....so that's disturbing.

It also leads us back to the discussion of eliminating the "conference parity" for greed. It does nothing but hurt your top teams in the conference from getting higher seeds and advancing deeper.

 

[KYExtemper]

I think Michigan State will give UNC a game in round 32. Don't expect them to win but I think it'll be close for much of the way.

 

[dckala2]

bad matchup for the heels in the second round.

That's because UNC isn't that good either

 

[megablue]

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.

It’s ALWAYS been that way.

 

[fatguy87]

Michigan State was better than their seed would indicate. They were top 25 in Kenpom coming into the game and were 1.5 point favorites.

Anyway, getting crushed like that was a miserable showing by MSU.

Does anybody want to guess the final margin of the A&M game tomorrow? How many 3's do they make? lol

 

[WeWant9]

I came close to picking Miss St to the S16, glad I skipped that upset. SEC teams are so annoying. Play hard for a few games all year, look like crap come March.

 

[ManitouDan]

I knew MSU would win.

 

[billCgmx]

I don't get upset when other SEC teams lose. Most of their fans hate Kentucky and enjoy our misery so screw them.

Agreed. But it's an embarrassment how the league pushes for top teams to lose in conference to these slapdick posers who s*** the bed the second they get on the stage they think they deserve. When you have an actual elite program or 2--they help the other programs who can play--by making them play to a higher level which is how you'd see other SEC teams make good tournament runs in past. Now they can't play hand to hand combat in March and just hack and get a light whistle on the other end...they are lost offensively.

 

[megablue]

Cocks down to Ducks at the half.

 

[WeWant9]

I hope every SEC team, besides UK, bows out early. Maybe Tenn can get St. Peter’d this tournament.

 

[uk78]

Yes but given these teams either beat or competed with us in close games doesn't bode well that we are that good.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

South Carolina pissing the bed now. If they don't see blue on the other team's jerseys, they just fold.

 

[sportspm]

South Carolina getting blown out. Embarrassing start for sec

 

[JFCats22]

SEC getting their asses handed to them doesn’t make me feel great about a UK team that struggled (or lost) to these teams!

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

South Carolina pissing the bed now. If they don't see blue on the other team's jerseys, they just fold.

Or maybe UK just isn't that good a team and makes all of these programs look like Sweet Sixteen teams.

It doesn’t bode well when teams that beat us get their asses handed to them by mediocre PAC teams.

 

[know1]

I didn't have any faith that the SEC teams were good and knew all that talk about the league being so much better now was BS, but actually seeing them get killed like this just demonstrates clearly that the league is weak.

 

[ralphdaltonfan]

Notice how Dana Altman is altering his defensive looks and then saw how badly the zone messed up the Cocks? Coaching against an opponent. What a novel concept.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Defensively, I agree.

 

[ChicagoCat1990]

SEC teams need to watch the movie the water boy and then visualize every opponent in UK jerseys. They'd play above there skill level every game!

Cal will be watching with bug eyes tonight with no plan or adjustments. Hope the players can bail him out.

 

[zannmann]

I never pick SEC teams not named Kentucky to go far in the tourney.

 

[ChicagoCat1990]

It's called strategy. How can the opposing coach counter Cal's game plan if Cal doesn't even know his own game plan?

 

[Seth_C]

I’m guessing he starts his same bad lineup and Rob and Reed won’t come in until at least the 16 minute timeout, regardless of how we are doing. When they do come in they will be playing with Wagner and/or Edwards, and his best lineup will see maybe 4-5 minutes of total game time playing together, and there will be 15 or 20 different lineups altogether.

Smart!

 

[TriCountyCat]

The problem is that SEC teams can’t win away from home. Most play weak non conference and get to the tournament by influencing the refs in their Cracker Jack gyms against the few teams that they and their fans actually get up for.

 

[CatPatrick13]

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

Only in football my friend….Only in football

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Cocks down to Ducks at the half.

Is that legal?

 

[CatPatrick13]

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.

I would like to see someone make a case against this but not sure anyone can…

[cathouse]

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

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

They are not getting wide open looks for one thing.

 

[Myotis]

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.

In the long run, you won’t go wrong if you fill out your brackets sticking to the rule Never Pick Any SEC Team Not Named Kentucky.

I have LOVED his substitution patterns. He knows WHEN to Sub and Who to sub when.

 

[FirewithFire]

No SEC refs to protect their sorry asses.

South Carolina getting the crap beat out of them by a not very good Oregon team is just embarrassing. Doesn't make me feel good about UK's upcoming games.

 

[phyrekat]

Is that legal?

Really wish they'd been playing Oregon State instead...

I agree. You think any other SEC team is gonna cheer for us?

 

[Jakerz]

How much does officiating play a role in the change from the SEC to the tourney?
It definitely needs looked at and addressed

 

[phyrekat]

I would like to see someone make a case against this but not sure anyone can…

No, but I'm sure some of the usual suspects will be along soon for their usual ad hominem attacks.
