2025 SEC Tournament

They've run long all season but today was even worse

Not that I'm looking to defend the system that often drags these games out, but of the 4 games, one went to double OT, and two of the three others were 1-possession games that ended on buzzer-beaters. Even the Mizzou-MSU game was tight until the final minute. Point being, all the games were closely contested and those games take longer to play, unfortunately. And then you stack four of them on top of each other, and play the games an hour behind in CST, it can add up. This wouldn't be so much an issue if they were played in Atlanta and started at noon EST. With the westward expansion into Texas and Missouri, league belief is likely that Nashville is more centrally located, so I understand the move, but it does create a headache for teams in the eastern time zone.

They say they found no evidence of the allegations against him. Sometimes an accused person is innocent.

Same administration who couldn’t find anything wrong with Aaron Hernandez.

JS.

Seems a little high to me. Texas has a pair of great guards. Mashack gets Marks and Z on Johnson and yes, they should be tired by the second half.

Z will be on #0 Pope. Chaz and Gainey have Johnson IMO

Different AD, likely different university administration too fwiw.

Probably see Shack on Johnson, Chaz/Gainey on Mark or Weaver

The length of all the SEC games today are ridiculous.. we are already over 2 hours for this third game and still 5mins left. 2nd game today was 3 hours.

Failing to see how this is a problem for Tennessee.....

Agree. Johnson and Pope hurt us the most in the regular season matchup. Put your two best defenders on them (Shack on Johnson and Z on Pope) and wear them down.

Looks like Steven Pearl's name was mentioned for Murray State head coaching job.

Ryan Miller has since taken the job, but wonder if Pearl is on the move if another smaller school comes calling.

I'll apologize in advance since it's not in our best interest for the big picture tonight. As much as I've tried to make it happen from within, I can't root for Kentucky tonight, or ever, for that matter. Here's hoping Missouri can advance to the championship game on Sunday opposite the Vols.

No need to apologize. KY is never going to beat Alabama, so might as well enjoy them getting their teeth kicked in.

BTW, I'm rooting for Auburn to beat Ole Miss.
In no way do I want to play Ole Miss again after that first game. Not because I don't think we can beat them, but because I don't want any of our guys to get hurt before the NCAAT.
The were pushing our players in the back and fouling/playing with reckless abandon.
The refs did nothing to rein it in, either.
I doubt the crews we've had thus far in this tournament would be any different.
