Which is the official SEC Champion result--regular season or tourney? Or is it both--which would be dumb. It should be regular season.

There is a regular season champion and a tournament champion. The tournament decides who gets the automatic bid to the NCAAT.

Tks. The regular season champ should be THE official champ--because it's a more valid, since it covers 18 conference games and is a big sample. The tourney is far different--a small sample, simply not as meaningful--and if a middle-of-the-pack or bottom-of-the-table team wins the tourney--as often happens---suddenly you've got a less than legit team sharing conference bragging rights, and hanging a banner, with a team that did it the hard way and is more legit. It is what it is, I realize.

Florida gets 40 points from the free-throw line tonight. They made 40 of 45, I read. Good grief--impressive. That is a lot of freakin foul shots.

 

[fear]

after beating Duke Wake Forest has lost 3 in a row. GT wins on a buzzer beater.

 

[VolBalls33]

Wake Forest has 7 losses of teams that won't make the tournament unless they win their conference tournament. To me Wake should be on the outside looking in right now.

Hopefully in the not too distant future the regular season champion will get the automatic bid and the conference tournaments will be used as a play-in tournament for the NCAAT. I think the vast majority of people agree that the regular season championship is more impressive.

UF moved up 7 spots in the NET to #26. Bama stayed at #7 and now have the #1 SOS. After UT plays SC and UK wonder where UT SOS will end up. As of this morning it's at #5.

I would say we for sure jump Arizona (some places already have us ahead of them in SOS) and potentially could jump UConn but they play Marquette tonight and finish out the regular season against Providence. I believe we'll finish no lower than 4th in SOS. Arizona got a boost from their non-conference schedule, lord knows their conference schedule didn't do them any favors.

BTW, we are now up to 7 wins in Quad 1. A combined 12 wins in Quad 1 and Quad 2

After last night’s loss to Georgia Tech, I’m pretty sure they are.

As a former member of two different unions in years past, I just threw up in my mouth.

Vandy already has 22 points against Kentucky.

 

[Lukusw]

KY...lol.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

KY has given up 40 points in the first half to Vandy.

Jeez

 

[volplaya8]

KY has given up 40 points in the first half to Vandy.

Jeez

The only game with worse defense than a Kentucky game is the NBA all star game

 

[Delmar]

KY has given up 40 points in the first half to Vandy.

Jeez

They treat defense like it’s a communicable disease.

Watching this #20 BYU vs #6 Iowa State game and am unimpressed by both teams. I think we would run both teams out the gym

Yes. First weekend will be in a “pod”. Probably in Charlotte - but we wouldn’t face UNC.

I literally can't remember a game with more turnovers in the last few minutes.
