Tuesday CBB games on TV featuring Alabama at Florida (-1.5)
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
I hope FL wins just so we have a slim chance at a 5 way 13 and 5 tie.
The thing is, I think UT winning tomorrow helps UK Saturday. UT winning all 4 of their final 4 games is gonna be tough. They are good but so are auburn, Alabama, sc and UK. If SC wins tomorrow I doubt UT loses 2 n a row.
Call it the law of averages but UT coming in cocky on a 3 game stretch of wins and having handled UK at Rupp may make them ripe for the picking.
Sc has effed things up all season though so sure they will win.

I am pulling for Florida, since Alabama is a team we are seed-battling with. And I think they have a good chance. Nelson just doesn't impress me. He's ok, but that's it.
Other "big" games tonight for us I think are:
Purdue at Illinois. Hopefully being a home game, even though Purdue is top 3, an Illinois loss lets us slip ahead of them. Illinois along with Duke and Auburn are the 3 teams ahead of us that just don't make sense. Couldn't believe hearing Lunardi saying Duke could be a 2-seed along with UNC. I mean, yeah maybe if they win their next 5, but otherwise hell no.
K St at Kansas. I know, it's at KU so should be a win. But in rivalry games, you never know.
Then tomorrow:
UConn at Marq. Should be a good game, espeically if that Marq guard can play, but I think they have cemented themselves to at least a 3 seed, but probably a 2.
UT at USC. Had UT beat them at home, I would have given USC a better chance in this game. But I think UT wins, big. But if USC can pull off this upset, and then win at MSU Saturday and do well in the SEC-T, they may be in contention for a 3 seed.
BYU at Iowa St. Hoping BYU can pull off another road win after winning at KU last week. Like USC, they've done well in-conf, but not impressive non-conf, so anything to drop them off the 3-line.

Yep absolutely pulling for Florida. We're right there with Bama for potential NCAAT seeding.
I'm actually pulling for Purdue. If Illinois wins, they could keep us off the three seed line (IF we were to beat UT).
We should all be pulling for Purdue for sure.
On the flip side of the Florida-Bama debate- if Florida wins out, they have 6 losses, and we'd have 6 losses with a loss to UT.
Are we not worried about the tie with Florida if we both finish with 6? Not sure the tiebreaker there since H2H is even.

Not really. Not sure why that would matter much. Only difference I see is SEC quarter-finals play vs the 2 or the 3, and at this point we don't even know who those are, probably not much difference.
For NCAA I don't see Florida catching us in seeding, but we are definitely competing with Bama for a 3 or 4 seed.
Two-Team Tie
The following procedure will be used in the following order until the tie is broken:
Won-lost results of head-to-head competition between the two teams.
Won-lost record of the two teams versus the No. 1 seed (and proceeding through the No. 14 seed, if necessary).
Coin flip by the Commissioner.
In a 2-way tie with Florida the H2H is even 1-1...... Kentucky though would be 0-2 against Tennessee and Florida would be 0-1. So that goes to Florida, right?

The teams I see us in competition for seeds with are:
These first few would need to go 0-3, but it could happen to 1 or 2 of them:
Arizona, Iowa St, UNC, Marquette
If these go 1-2 or 1-3, we could leap them:
Duke, Creighton, Baylor
I think we could pass these up even if they go 2-2 or 2-3:
Illinois, Auburn, Kansas, Alabama
And we have to look out for these passing us if they go 5-0, 4-1:
S.Carolina, Wash St

Well, depends on your confidence level of us winning on Saturday @ TN.
As shown below, there is still an actually extremely plausible scenario to us winning a share of the SEC title.
BUT, if we don't win on Saturday, we need Auburn to lose one and/or South Carolina or Alabama to lose two.
Either way, seems like rooting for Florida tonight is the way to go.
We also really want Ole Miss to win tonight to push them back into Quad-2 territory, and we want 2 BIG wins by Miss State this week!
Assuming we end up the 5 I'd prefer uga over Arkansas again so soon. I suppose Candy could be the opponent as well.
Isn't it time Missouri finds a way to pick up their 1st SEC win of the year ?
Rooting for UNLV to take out SD State tonight too. Kentucky can still finish as low as a 5 seed with a loss to Tennessee and an early exit in the SEC tournament if teams like SD State, Illinois, Auburn, Alabama, BYU, South Carolina win some games especially high level ones.
I think there could be a big difference between a 4 and 5 seed because usually those 12 seeds are the best of the auto bid mid majors like an Indiana State or McNeese State or Grand Canyon, James Madison, App State, Princeton teams those are all very tough 12 seed opp.

Big 10 having lots of games on Peacock. What a joke. To be a sports fan your gonna have to have everything before it's over.
Was coming to say this.
Need Illinois and Bama to lose tonight.
Would be a huge help if K-State can upset Kansas.
Too bad we just didn't beat Florida OR LSU as a Vandy win would wrap up a bye and possibly get to #1 seed with win over Tenn
He's done a really good job this year. UF has turned into a really solid team. I didn't see them being this good this year.
And 66 other teams. Not exactly a surprise.
Also bama is worse defensively than Kentucky is and doesn’t have the elite playmakers Kentucky does
Florida gets the AND 1 that might turn into a F1 against them and the loss of pts giving the other team FTs
They didn't call the elbow to the face if that been Kentucky I am sure it would been a F1
Agree here. A Purdue loss right now does nothing to their 1 seed line chances. But IL losing helps us tremendously, especially if we win Saturday at UT and take out a couple more in the SECT.
