Agreed, been a pretty poor showing for the SEC schools overall. Hard to say whether it is fatigue from playing so many tough physical teams throughout the season. Or if the league was just weaker overall this year.
I also think they way SEC games are officiated hurts the teams at tournament time when the games are called much tighter. About all of the SEC teams have had some foul problems the first two rounds, espeically Missouris against FGCU. That physical SEC play on a 5'6" guard from FGCU just LOOKS like a foul even if it isn't.
Anriel Howard carried that A&M team to that win. 18 points and 19 boards is all heart. Carter hit that shot, but she gave them the chance, secured every important board for her team down the stretch, she's such a fun player to watch, best motor in the NCAA besides maybe Gabby Williams when she is healthy.
