They are the top seed because of who they’ve beaten. It’s politics if Duke gets it.

I do hope the SEC proves they are that good in the tourney. I remember we all thought the SEC was that good in football as well.

You asked how this could vault Bama back ahead of us. I’m telling you how it could - it’s the biggest road win of the season (tied with Florida).

You said earlier today that as long as we win we’d be ahead of them?

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Where you see it?

They showed it in halftime of A&M game.

I think that final number 1 seed is going to be decided in the SEC tourney. We win it, we are definitely a number 1 seed because we will have had to beat one possibly two of the others to do that.

I think this is the biggest SECT in quite some time for splitting hairs between us, Florida, & Bama for the final #1 seed. However, among those three Florida was 2-1 (and finished 2nd in the regular season), we were 2-1, and Bama was 0-2. Plus UF and Bama won at Auburn, and we almost did but no cigar.

I think at worst we’re the top #2 seed, which will put us in the Midwest.

 

[VolCalls]

That’s my opinion, yes.

If things stay as predicted, don't sleep on Florida being sent to the Midwest and Houston being sent West.

 

[VolCalls]

And Auburn more than likely lost the overall number 1 seed, unless Duke loses today.

I disagree. Auburn’s number of Quad One wins is so far ahead of them I think they and Duke are
locked in as the top 2 overall seeds, in that order.

What do you mean as predicted? Who has Florida #3 overall?

I see. So likely playing Texas A&M on Friday

 

[MoCo_Vol]

If you're a believer in metrics, Bama is #32 in defensive efficiency, UK is #55. Both can be really bad on defense and part of it is the pace and style of offense they play.

He asked, gave my opinion.

Probably less confident in Kentucky without Robinson though. But they’ve been up & down all season. I just feel like they’re gonna be about as healthy as they have been since OOC.

 

[Delmar]

Maybe, but if Ole Miss beats Florida, don't think they will, but if they do, perception changes a lot.

I don’t think Ole Miss can beat Florida down there either. That’s a long shot.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Yeah we’d get winner of A&M vs Vandy/Texas

 

[99gator]

What do you mean as predicted? Who has Florida #3 overall?

Who says Florida would be the #3 overall seed?

I'm saying Houston may be the #3 overall seed and sent West.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

I'm saying Houston may be the #3 overall seed and sent West.

Well they go in geographical order, and Houston is a hell of a lot closer to Indianapolis than San Francisco

 

[VolCalls]

What do you mean as predicted? Who has Florida #3 overall?

I think he means if both Florida and Houston win tonight. Nobody knows in what order the committee has those two on the S-curve. Only the early reveal where Florida was #4 and Houston was #8. That’s a lot of ground to make up. And yes, I know Florida lost a game since then and Houston hasn’t, but the committee has shown a historical propensity to focus on the overall body of work and not give too much credence to one game in March. I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see Florida ahead of Houston, especially since they were four spots ahead of them to begin with and with what they did to Alabama three days ago.

 

[Flogballs]

Yes. Where have you been?

I don’t see it honestly. I think we’re a 2 seed

This is the other possibility. For all I know, the committee may put Florida at 3. Houston lost to Auburn and Alabama and Florida beat them both. And on the road.

My general point was a I don't necessarily think that question has been settled.

 

[Flogballs]

Did auburn peak too early?

BP had some good teams here that fizzled into the tourney

 

[Chaz-Vol]

Without seeing NCAA brackets, Florida or Kentucky.

Wildcats have been very snake bit by injuries, that team at full health is scary. Great size, shooters, ball handling & depth.

If you meant SECT, Bama or Florida.

Agree on Florida and they seem like deepest and most dangerous team

 

[DowntownVol]

think our case might've been helped if we'd absolutely blown the doors off of USCjr today?

 

[omghulkhands]

No

 

[VolGee4]

No. Just win.

 

[VolCalls]

Who says Florida would be the #3 overall seed?

I'm saying Houston may be the #3 overall seed and sent West.

I could see either scenario, although if Houston is #3 overall they’ll be in the Midwest because Indy is closer to them than San Francisco. The committee goes strictly by mileage from campus.

 

[99gator]

Interesting that in answering my question.....no one has said, "give me Auburn".

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Florida actually seems like deepest and most dangerous team

3 experienced guards too & all of em have different strengths.

I wouldn’t wanna see them until Final Four
