SEC Basketball Thread

[ManuForever]

As of this moment, I'd probably have them on the 6 line. They have the #6 Non Conf SOS and an overall SOS of 7. That's going to look really good come Selection Sunday. And while they don't have any wins that jump off the page, they do have 7 top 60 RPI wins and 9 top 80 RPI wins. I think they are trending to be a 10 loss team, but even then, and assuming they don't win the SECT, I still think as an 11 loss team, they'll still be in the 7/8 range. They'll still have a better resume, even at that point, than Vandy did last year and they were a 9 seed. The committee is going to reward them, despite the losses IMO with a better seed than their play would indicate.

I know they're playing a lot of tough teams, but they're just not good. Their biggest win of the season was a 17-point comeback on the road against WVU, and while that was impressive, they haven't held any momentum since then. They just continue coming out of the gate disappointing, coming back in the second half, and crumbling all over again. They don't play together. Knox isn't consistent. Diallo is garbage. I would take 5 Archie Goodwins before I would take him. I'm shocked Lunardi is even considering them a top 10 seed.

Kentucky falling like a rock.

Down to the 8/9 seed in Lundardi's latest brackets

They don't deserve to be a Top 10 seed this year if you ask me. 6 was extremely generous.

This guy announcing the UK-Bama game is a complete douchenozzle.

Not a lot seperating most of the SEC

Most of the commentary on CBS fits that bill.

Big, much needed win for the Cats. I wasn't able to watch, but I'm very happy they exceeded my expectations and won a game I wasn't expecting them to win.

Seriously why does Billy Kennedy still have a job?

LOL @ Auburn

 

[Wild Turkey]

LOL @ Auburn

Classy considering the injury to McLemore

It was a nasty one. I (and thousands of others) honored him with supportive applause as they carried him off.
So I can still LOL @ Auburn.
And really, they actually did a lot better without him.

Seth Davis?

Kennedy needs to be fired this team will not make NCAA tourney cause they are lazy and uninspired and do not care. We need Buzz Williams to come in here and get this program going again.

Hard to believe just a few years ago we had won 4/5 against Kentucky...now we can’t even beat them at home in their down years

 

[ManuForever]

Huge win for the Cats, again last night. Hope this can continue into the postseason. Still got a tough one on the road against Florida coming up.

So its pretty much just down to whether or not Michael Porter Jr plays again this year as to whether Mizzou can be relevant in either tournament. A couple of really bad losses there.

 

[Clayton]

Porter fully cleared to play. No commitment to actually doing so but we'll see

 

[steelerssb]

MPJ is cleared

FINAL: Texas A&M 89, Vanderbilt 81. Aggies snap three-game losing streak, improve to 18-11, 7-9 in SEC play. Tyler Davis scores 22, TJ Starks adds 18.

@ericd7633 we suck and just beat your number 1.......

UK flipped a switch

Watching college basketball is so difficult compared to other sports. There are legitimately some calls that I see in Columbia that Mizzou gets that are just silly and some they don't get on the road that are equally silly. Over the course of many games its just hard to watch.
