SEC/NCAA tourney thread

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

Win today and 99% chance we are a #1 seed. If Bama wins quite a few people think Bama will be given the # 1 seed and the outcome of TN's games won't matter.

It seems like the pecking order for #1 seed is Florida/Bama/Tenn. Bama and UF need Auburn to win today cause if Tenn wins tourney there will be a LOT of smoke behind making them a #1 seed. Will be harder to justify making the winner of today's Florida/Bama game a #1 seed as well. i can see SEC getting two #1 seeds, not three.

Yep they want the SEC #1 and #2 seeds in different regions if possible so that makes it less likely Michigan State would be given that last # 1 seed even if Auburn and Bama won today.

Jerry Palm's latest bracketology has 13 teams in, Texas out and on the bubble,

I hate Tennessee far more than I hate Auburn but the refs are screwing the Vols late in the game.

Vols pretty much won this one. The Spartans go down vs Wisky.

Yep frickin Auburn let TN stay in the conversation.

Looks like tourney winner likely a #1 seed since Auburn is out. Palm and Lunardi seem to think AUburn a lock for #1 overall seed. Auburn going into NCAAs in a bit of a slump.

MSU loss helps the 3 SEC teams left. Houston and Duke playing later.

Curious what talking heads say after our game. I think if we win we very likely are the final #1 seed. If Bama wins who knows what happens.

Ghost, any chance the Holloway kid goes to the draft? I believe he's just a freshman but if he stays a few more seasons, he'll be as good as Mark Sears.

Correction, Holloway is a sophomore.

We are definitely a # 1 seed now.

Congrats guys, hate that Nelson got hurt, we had no chance after that. He;s been nursing that injury for weeks, hopefully he can improve for the tourney or we may disappoint.

He's very streaky. Transferred from Auburn.

I kept yelling at my TV for any defender to get in his face every time he's behind the 3 pt line.

They got a Jussie Smollett or two at the Vols campus?

Selection Sunday is here!

Morning Bracketology update: Both Lunardi and Palm have 13 teams in. Lunardi has dropped Vandy to the Last Team In, and has them in a play-in game.

Auburn still #1 overall seed, Florida #1 seed as well, Bama and Tenn are #2 seeds.

If Tenn wins today it will be a debate over if they or Florida should be #1 seed. Florida has had the better season, so if Tenn gets #1 seed it would suggest they just put a lot of weight on their winning the SEC tourney.

Houston and Duke pretty much locked in as the other #1 seeds so it comes down to one more #1 seed for the SEC. I feel like they give it to Tenn if they win. I think they want to make statement that winning conference tourneys matters.

I doubt they would do it but if TN was given a 1 seed over us it would be a joke. I just hope we don't get any injuries this game. I am guessing we get the West unless Houston can get the committee to give them the West. One good thing about the West over the Midwest is we will get our first 2 games in NC I think instead of somewhere further west.
