2024-25 Basketball,,, all things considered...

[gatordad3]

In most years I would agree with you. This year I don't. The SEC is DEEP. Miss. St., Arkansas, Vandy & Georgia all have 8-10 records and will ALL get in. Oklahoma and Texas have 6-12 records and 1 of them is getting in, maybe both. Let's talk Sunday night or Monday morning and see who's right.

I'm here to tell you that you were right about the 13 teams with Texas yet to play an in game. Maybe it's just me in the minority, but Georgia, Texas and Oklahoma are probably another year away from deserving a spot in the big dance.

Oklahoma did beat AZ, Louisville and Michigan out of conference though where they were undefeated before SEC play.

Do you know how much UConn has left starter wise from the championship last season?

Candidly I think Oklahoma will beat them.

 

[Gators1853]

The SEC was brutal this year. A few of the teams are coming in a little banged up but it is quite the accomplishment to put 14 teams in.

I kind of hope so just to get that name out of our path.

I mentioned this on another forum that Zakai Zeigler of Tinerc walked off the court without shaking hands. That whole team is a bunch gutless cowardly b1tches.

2025 March Madness odds, lines, favorites: Florida emerges as post-Selection Sunday national championship favorite

The Gators won the SEC tournament title on Sunday.

Looks like we are the hunted

Great win. This team can win in all kinds of ways and in all kinds of circumstances. Today the refs called it tight and we won by attrition while making 25-28 free throws. We're deeper with quality talent than any team we'll face. So make it a foul fest, refs. We'll win. Let the game be physcial and don't call many fouls. Ok, we'll win that way, too. This team is locked in and together. They are going to be hard to beat in the NCAA tournament. However, it's extremely difficult to win 6 straight vs. increasingly better talent. But this is the best team we've had since our national title teams. No doubt about that.

Even the great 2014 team which had great character guys and super hustlers didn’t have this kind of talent and depth.

 

[Nicktheslick]

After they got their pay back a month later, those same idiots said they exposed us as frauds. 🤣

And how did that work out for them today on basically a home court?

 

[Nicktheslick]

They made sure to get NC in there.

How the he!! I understand you played a tough out of conference schedule but damn you have to WIN some of those games.
One quad 1 win? West Virginia got hosed.

Yep this team definitely has the chance to be the 2nd best team ever here after the back to back team.

I have newfound respect for Gates.

Wow! What a comment about not helping anybody beat an SEC team. I love this guy.

 

[Gators1853]

Pathetic and disgraceful.

I can only guess the UNC haters didn't want Hubert Davis to get canned and steal either Nate Oats, Chris Beard or perhaps give Will Wade another shot at top tier school like UNC.

Synonymous with everything to do with the Vols…

 

[instaGATOR]

Look for Magic Mike White to take out Gonzaga and then Houston to begin his tournament run with the leghumpers.

You still beating on that dead horse with your feveredbrains??? (rhetorical)
But hey, I thought the sports geniuis types said UGly would be lucky to make the NIT... (crickets)
As for me, since they are not in the West with the Gators, I don't really care what they do...
Moving right along from the dead horse beaters.... 🙄

Florida is the new favorite to win it all after winning the conference tournament and four of the top six betting favorites are SEC schools. — Nick Bromberg

Outstanding performance in the tournament. Team played awesome. Let's keep it up men! Go Gators!!!

 

[Gator Fever]

I see UConn was ranked #3 to start this season. Hopefully that is just the championship effect on the polls and they aren't capable of going to another level for this tournament.

Reading some articles now on UConn it sounds like they have big issues in their guard play unlike the last 2 seasons. So maybe they aren't capable of turning things up to another level.

Of the 3, I think Oklahoma was the most deserving because the of really tough non conference schedule. I don't like Georgia or Texas winning at anything, so wish they had been left out.

I do hope those three you mentioned prove me wrong as I wouldn't mind seeing OU or Texas advancing far in the tourney.

We might face OK in our 2nd game.

SEC to Earn $26M With Record 14 Men’s NCAA Tournament Bids​

SEC to Earn $26M With Record 14 Men’s NCAA Tournament Bids

A decade ago, the SEC treated men’s basketball like an afterthought. Its investments since then are paying off.

I remember a time when the only SEC team making money was Kentucky. Times sure have changed. Basketball is a money maker these days.
