A little surprised Wash State hasn’t cracked the top 25. Sitting second in the PAC-12 after some losses for teams like Oregon to Colorado this week. 18-8 and have been playing better down the stretch. Well coached and pretty good team.

Stanford has run away with the PAC-12 Wash State is their closest competition at 4.5 games back right now. Interested to see those two play tonight.

Creme had Arizona still a 2 seed entering the night, so doubt we will totally pass them but a win over LSU May do it.

He has no idea lol. They were not going to be a 2 seed anyway. More likely a 3/4. They have several bad losses at this point. If they lose to USC Sunday they will not host.

The PAC-12 is hard to figure this season. You basically have Stanford and everyone else.

The SEC is overall stronger than most predicted, and the PAC-12 is weaker. What a strange season it has been.

It’s very possible Missouri can win! It’s easy getting to the top when you’re not ranked and have nothing to lose, but maintaining it, is what’s so hard.

Missouri is playing for seeding in both the SEC and NCAA tournaments. They have all the tools they need to handle Florida if they play well. That would be awesome. Being a 2 or a 3 seed is our best chance of getting to the SEC final on Sunday. If we loose and Florida wins, I believe that would make us a 4 seed and would most likely play South Carolina in the Semis.

Missouri benched four key players tonight and couldn't get past Kentucky. No chance they'll beat Florida if the players aren't reinstated.

This was Missouri's first loss to a team that won't be in the Tourney -- or wait, Mizzou might just have opened the door for them.

Not sure what the players did, but Mizzou will probably fall to the NCAA bubble. A win over KY and Tenn's win over Miss St would have assured them a spot in the field.

I vote for reinstatement and an upset of a tired Florida team, In that case, the LVs could do no worse than 3rd seed in the SEC tourney and avoid SC unless they made it to the title game.

I did not see that Missouri had benched main players and lost tonight. Maybe if they are brought back for Sunday's game, they will be motivated by being benched. Who was benched for this game?

The Tigers were without Kiya Dorroh, Skyla Travis, LaDazhia Williams and Aijha Blackwell Thursday for a violation of team standards. Coach Pingeton said the players suspended were all in violation of team standards, but not all of their situations were related. Some were related to each other, and some others weren't. Pingeton also noted she was unsure if those four would be back for Sunday's game against No. 15 Florida.

I was a little embarrassed for Coach Blair and his final home game after the whipping the Lady G's laid on ATM. Even after a terrible beat down he was still gracious in his praise of Dawn and her team.

On a side note the SC vs Tenn game was viewed by 876,000. That's the largest national viewing audience since 2017's SC vs UConn.

Always fun when UCONN isn’t involved in those records lol. Great for the game. It was fun to watch even though we lost.

Totally unfair it should move around to Greenville, Nashville, Atlanta, and other places to give fans of other local teams chances to go to a tourney without needing to travel. SEC getting like Big East who always has it in Connecticut.

What Gule said. It ain't about fair it's about money. What venue will put the most money in SEC coffers?

They should keep doing that and not hold it anywhere three years in a row. It should be on a round robin basis with as many venues that care to have it.
