SEC tough draws outside of Top 4 seeds.

[Rideordiewildcat]

If you take out 1, 2 and 3 seeds who should be overwhelming favs take a look at who the rest of the SEC gets 1st rd. Respect orscrew job?

4 TexasAM vs 13 Yale

6 Ole Miss vs 11 SDST or UNC

8 Uconn vs 9 OK underdog 4.5

6 Mizzou vs 11 Drake (Buzz team all year 30-3)

7 KU vs 10 Arkansas underdog 4.5

8 MissSt vs 9 Baylor

7 St Mary's vs 10 Vandy underdog 4.5

8 Zags vs 9 Georgia underdog 6.5

11 Texas vs 11 Xavier underdog 2.5

I get lower seeds favs usually, but dam the names and the Buzz teams for upsets. I know not all where they usually are, but still reads as an impressive list.

Zags, Xavier, St. Mary's, Baylor, Kansas, Drake, Uconn, SDST, UNC, and Yale.

They are doing everything they can to get the SEC out quickly. That also means pairing them up against each other in the 2nd round.

Zags are going to be tough. Nine straight Sweet 16 or beyond seasons. That experience is so helpful in these instances. I’ll enjoy making the tournament. Don’t have high hopes for moving onto the round of 32.

Tough draw in an 8-9 game playing Conference champs.

No doubt. But hey, we’ve beaten Florida, St. John’s, and Grand Canyon, all conference tourney winners. Let’s go add another!

Time to see of these lower level sec teams can be contenders.

I actually think SEC wins most of these games

Out of those 9 id be surprised if SEC won 5 or more.

Nevertheless, welcome back to tourney...

 

[LordEggForgotHisPassword]

Vandy should be fine

 

[JonathanW]

I hate to think this, but UNC playing with "house money" could roll off a couple of wins.

 

[LukaszObrzut]

You got to be able to beat someone. Everyone can’t have a “tough” draw

Kinda how it seems to work sometimes. Get the warmups game to shake the nerves off and the other team comes in tight with all the pressure.

I think if Ole Miss can not let the pressure get to them in the first half…go into half even…then they’ll win in the second half. Just can’t dig a hole

Yes, the same committee who selected 14 SEC teams wants them to lose as quickly as possible...take the tinfoil hat off dude.

Second, who cares if all these SEC teams fall flat on their face? I hope they do, unless they are playing UL/IU. Not like SEC teams winning does anything for UK or its fans. I hope they all lose their first round games.

 

[wildcatknh]

A&M wins
Ole Miss wins
Oklahoma wins
Mizzou loses
Arkansas loses
Mississippi State wins
Vandy wins
Georgia loses

SEC 6-3 in those 9

You people keep saying this. Who is gonna beat Duke then?

I hear ya dude. Why we root for other SEC teams is to have an excuse when we lose. Our conference was a meat grinder. I get it , but it doesn’t matter besides having something to throw at UL fans.

If the committee has their way no one. ESPN and The NCAA offices will party for a week.

I’m not here to defend every move the committee made, but that’s just math to an extent. 14 teams got invited and there’s only 4 brackets. It’s pretty much impossible to keep them all from playing each other.

Ill keep my tinfoil hat on. As far as letting 14 in, not much of an opportunity going by metrics. Especially if Bubba wanting to get the Cheats in. The corrupt NCAA has earned that much respect from me. The committee is so upstanding and never does anything seedy, storyline, easy draws for the typical, etc...

Abd the chair Bubba from UNC who didn't help the cheats get in, wink wink wants to keep hearing how the ACC is trash and the SEC is the best ever. I'm just saying if I'm FL I'm like what the hell kinda draw is this right out the gate.

Lastly it's hard to cheer for them all and their horrible fanbases but I don't know why anyone would want their favorite teams conference to look bad.

A&M wins

Texas wins

SEC 6-3 in those 9

I don't know I think either Yale or Drake win if not both. Yale got Aub last year. Vandy away from home against St.Marys I thinks a toss up. Zags should beat GA. I think Uconn beats OK. UNC vs Ole Miss I feel likes a toss up, same with KU and Ark. If Texas makes it i think Illinois beats them. Finally Miss St might get Baylor but they've been fading.

That's kinda my point SEC is getting some hot teams, trending upset picks and solid teams.

The spread is 3-6 against SEC right now. I'm thinking out of the 9 5-4 at best and very possible 4-5 or 3-6.

 

[maysvilleky]

14 teams! The seedings are about where they were before selection Sunday. I don’t see an attempt to screw the SEC. They have to be spread out somewhere.
