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

Huh?

Huh?

If you had to place your money on a team from the SEC winning the tournament, who would you put your money on?

I would bet Auburn for SEC tournament. Duke for NCAA tournament.

Ok, if you could only pick an SEC team to win the NCAA tournament, who would it be?

I'd pick Florida honestly.

If they’re healthy, Florida tbh. They’re the most complete team and the team I trust the most.

Let's go Ole Miss!
Put it on Florida worse than you did us!

Sadly, Florida. They’re playing the best basketball right now.

It feels like you’ve asked a variation of this question multiple times the past week or two, and that you’re just fishing for a bunch of Tennessee fans to tell you that Florida is the best team in the SEC.

I think I’d take Duke/Auburn today just because I think 1 seeds have won 25 of the 40 tournaments since the field expanded in 1985. And I think the gap between the top 6 teams and the rest of the field is pretty large this year.

The field would include 2 other 1 seeds though…

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I’m aware. But I trust Auburn/Duke more than Houston who I think is a bit overrated and will be bounced early. It’s a tough question because I don’t think the gap between Auburn/Duke and the field is as large this year as UConn/Purdue were last year. Ultimately, I think the field probably wins because it’s 66 teams to pick from instead of two, but if you’re asking me to go to Vegas and put my money on someone, it’s probably one of the two teams that have been the best for the entire regular season.

Also me personally, I would never bet on Tennessee anyway. Just bad juju imo

I do fine it weird how many non Vol fans frequent this board.

 

[hUTch2002]

It was hard to imagine the SEC being this crazy good. I'm with you. If you told me we'd go 25-6, I'd have been certain we got a 1.

I’m surprised Florida didn’t have a couple more losses and I’m surprised Bama won at Auburn after losing all those other games.

I never pick Tennessee in my brackets to go far, because it feels like setting myself up for double disappointment. I typically hedge lol.

On another topic, classic Bruce. Completely avoids saying that CBM should take any accountability for his actions and basically excuses what he did as retaliation for uncalled fouls. Garbage statement, but wouldn’t expect anything else from him.

 

[adam.vol]

He’s absolutely not in the same league. Broome is fine in college but he’s a 6-10 big that plays below the rim. That doesn’t cut it in the NBA. Reminds me a lot of Armando Bacot who is stuck in the G league.

What your saying isn’t a stretch, but at 6’ 10” Broome could be a center or PF in the NBA. He has good touch and some outside range. The Celtics used Al Horford and Robert Williams regularly when Grant Williams played for them, who both are listed at 6’ 9”.

I don’t see him being an all star, but most first round picks don’t get to be that since it’s usually the same 24 people for most of their careers.

 

[hUTch2002]

If you had to place your money on a team from the SEC winning the tournament, who would you put your money on?

Probably Florida but I might go Kentucky as a sleeper.

 

[hUTch2002]

It doesn't really matter who the #1 overall seed is. Duke will go to the East. Auburn will go to the South.

You’re a pretty fart smeller fer a gator. Now if you could only pass some of that to LG.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Not happenin'. Florida ain't UT.

I know, I was just teasing.
Tennessee will be a #2 seed. It's what we are, and what we deserve.

We had a chance to take care of business, but like last year against KY, we didn't get it done when it matteres the most.

This attitude from Bruce is why it keeps happening

I just don’t have respect for the guy anymore.

Everywhere he’s been, he’s brought problems along the way.

I'm fishing for an honest opinion. I am surprised there are not more Auburn answers.

But, I ask because I have my own opinion and am kind of checking on whether it's due to homerism or if others see the same thing. So, a few people from a fan base that I know hates Florida and that school also gave Florida it's worst loss of the season, and some of those people are confirming that opinion, I feel better that my judgment is not completely skewed by my bias.

So, that's why I ask

Vols actually have a good draw. Auburn is slated for Lexington on Thursday so they will not be going full Barrell for sec tournament. Good time to get them.

 

[hUTch2002]

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.

This is very different than football. In football, the SEC didn’t do all that well out of conference. Basketball has been a far different story with the SEC 54-15 against the Big 10, Big 12 and ACC.
