SEC Basketball Thread

[UK Cowboy]

We should change the name of this thread to the “Auburn Basketball Thread” because this year we own the SEC you retards are just paying rent.

Auburn will have their own spin on One and Done come tourney time...

You really think a 15 seed will beat auburn?

They might make it out of round one, I don't think they make it out of round two. They have some tests left on their schedule, we will see if they are as good as their record or if it's build on cup cakes

True, we really are beating up on some mediocre teams. Still got Kentucky, Florida, a&m, and bama again.
We could very well lose in the first couple rounds if we play like we did against bama. Then again we could make the final four playing like we did against lsu.

They have 9 Quadrant 1 or Quadrant 2 wins. I'm not going to look every team up, but my guess is that would put them in the top 5 in terms of number of wins against those 2 quadrants.

Is Auburn this years South Carolina team?

 

[jontaejones]

Auburn actually has a bunch of top recruits, 4 and 5 star players. Not that their own boosters would know who they are.

If they can keep those guys together, next year they'll be really good. Like maybe Final 4 good.

No. They're better than South Carolina. South Carolina was still a #7 seed in the NCAAT.

is pearl still in the stink for that pitino stuff as well?

Oh yea. He's filthy.

Auburn picked up Tennessee's trash. It's a win/win for them. If they win at the cost of getting put on probation, nobody there cared about basketball anyway.

Really intrigued to see how Auburn fares the rest of the way in SEC play against what is considered to be the better half of the SEC. Would love to see them continue this and take it to the Floridas and the Kentuckys of the world. Not 100% sold yet because of their schedule.

Auburn is going to win the SEC. No doubt in my mind.

March Madness? Yeah, I could see them getting upset. Single elimination can do that to almost any team.

Kentucky losing to Missouri is exactly why we shouldn't dismiss Auburn. Auburn has won both AT Tennessee and AT Missouri. If they win today, they should be a 1 seed in everyone's bracket projections come Monday.

I guess you'll need to be added to the list? Again, everyone is so quick to dismiss them(and their resume) because it's Auburn. If you want to argue Xavier, that's fine, as it's extremely close between them and Auburn in terms of resume. But please don't bring up Duke and Kansas after today, at least in this moment.

 

[Clayton]

Mizzou has been really bi-polar this year. They look like one of the best SEC teams one week and one of the worst the next.

I'll take the win against Kentucky even if there isn't anything special about this year's team.

What seed you have Kentucky at

What seed you have Kentucky at

I'll be putting together another bracket come Monday, so we'll see where they are at after everything shakes out this weekend. If I had to guess, they'll probably be on the 5/6 line. But it's never a good thing when the best thing about your resume is the lack of bad losses. Kentucky only has 1 loss that isn't a Q1 loss. But they are only 3-5 against Q1 teams. I don't think UK is a 5/6 seed quality team(at least yet), but they have really great numbers. Non. Conf SOS of 6, SOS of 12, coming into today. They are extremely fortunate to have beaten Vandy and WVU, had they lost both, they'd be in the dreaded last 4 BYES, Last 4 IN category more than likely.

Another L for Kentucky
