** SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament Thread **

Valid points, but it’d be a terrible idea only with A&m. Usce bigs aren’t even close to the talent of A&ms. A&m is our matchup nightmare.

Are they at 7 or 8 school players now? Still just 2 guards?
 
I don't know if A&M is our matchup nightmare but Robert Williams is about the only player in the SEC that can out jump both Horace and Mac. It's really tough to get things in down low for other teams when Horace and his reach and athleticism is just standing in that box. It's why he leads the damn SEC in steals or something. But A&M just threw it to the top of the backboard and let Williams get it and he either scored, or let the defense collapse on him and kicked outside for their open looks. We don't have an answer for him.

I'd rather play bama. I would've felt fine playing aTm before Mac got hurt, but i would rather not play them now.

Rubber match with Bama sounds good to me.

They shot amazing against us. Pretty sure that’s the best they shot by far all season. I would like to play them again.

It’s 8 now. They got one of the suspended players back, Jay Jay Chandler. They have 3 guards (Starks, Gilder, and Chandler) and 5 front court guys (Davis, Williams, Trocha-Morelos, Hogg, Flagg).
 
anything other than a loss in the title game is fine with me...

get bounced early? as long as it’s to aTm and not BAMA - no worries, just another full week to rest and heal

win a game? cool - we either beat BAMA again, or avenge the aTm loss which proves we can handle being outmanned in the front court, and it’s a great neutral site win for seeding purposes

lose in the semis? an extra day of rest and it won’t be a “bad” loss... may not affect seeding at all depending on other tourneys

but if we make it to Sunday, then go ahead and win the motherfvcker - because we could be playing for a 2 seed in Atlanta at that point

so... lose to BAMA or in the finals = bad
anything else = good as far as I’m concerned
 
And noon on Saturday. And noon on Sunday.

Gonna have to listen to us on the radio Sunday while driving to the Atlanta United match. Seeing as I wasn't trying to care about this tournament and now the coaches have made this team really care (thus in turn making me care), I had already made other plans.

In potentially impactful news for the SECT, Jared Vanderbilt was injured at practice yesterday and is day-to-day for the SECT. Don't think he's going to practice today. A rumor showed up on twitter last night that he was at the local hospital with a foot injury, although none of that has been verified.

Tournament predictions (that will surely be horribly wrong):

Wednesday
UGA over Vandy
SCar over OM

Thursday
aTm over Bama
Mizzou over UGA
LSU over Miss St
SCar over Arkansas

Friday
Auburn over aTm
Mizzou over Kentucky
Tenn over LSU
Florida over SCar

Saturday
Auburn over Mizzou
Florida over Tenn

Sunday
Auburn over Florida

Such a homer pick and fairly chalky. I could see SCar making a good little run because I think they're playing pretty well right now. That second Auburn game (if both teams make it there) might be the toughest game we play all year. UK/Mizzou will be fun if Mizzou gets there.

Have the odds to win shifted much since the announcement that M Porter is going to play?

Any word on Herb Jones for Bama? I remember seeing he was iffy for possibly at least the opening game for bama.
 
Not SEC related, but Garrison Brooks is a beautiful hulking youngster that I really wish would’ve stayed in state.. He would’ve made a fantastic addition to this squad.

Ike Obiagu, who plays at FSU, would’ve been another really good one for our system.
