SEC not setting the world on fire thus far in the NCAA tourney...

[VolonTyne]

Was the SEC overrated going into the tourney. Somewhat disappointing with Bama even struggling against 15 seed Robert Morris. Football falls a little flat post-season, now basketball. Was hoping for more SEC wins in basketball. Sure hope the Vols don't stumble against UCLA but overall league performance thus far a concern.

I don’t care about other SEC teams.

Only worried about us.

100% agree. I hope every team not named TN loses.

Why are you concerned about the rest of the SEC doing good?

 

[ivorydr]

The top 7 SEC teams are doing fine. Look at ACC. Their #2 and #3 teams have lost. So is Duke really that strong playing in a poor league?

 

[BradstarVols]

I'd definitely say the SEC has underperformed thus far. We will see how the rest of the tourney goes though.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

Didn't Arkansas put out Kansas?

 

[Flogballs]

And Mizzou was the only favorite that lost

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

I think maybe 7 teams are legit and the other 7 benefited greatly from the league hype.

I don't think the league has necessarily performed poorly. When you have 14 teams, you are going to have some to lose. It doesn't mean they didn't deserve to be there. There are 8 SEC teams in the second round. If the favorites win, there will be 6 into the sweet 16. When you look at the B1G, they had all 8 advance. However, they were significant favorites in all of their first round games. The only favored SEC team that lost was Missouri.

One of the bama players fell and got hurt and went to the locker room. Don't know if he came back in but he was favoring his wrist. Wasn't really watching that game

8 SEC teams were expected to advance based on seeding. 8 SEC teams have advanced. So far, it Seems like the league is living up to its billing.

The only bad game was THE DOGS, other than that the sec could have won them all.

woo suzies v johnnies game was entertaining...

 

[Delmar]

Let’s see what it looks like after today. Still got a shot at 6 of the Sweet 16 if all 3 win today. Probably doubtful for Ole Miss but who knows.

4 SEC teams are playing today. Bama, UK, Ole Miss, and Fla.

Oops. How could I forget UK?

I hope they all loose every game they play in every sport. That only helps our recruiting.

 

[Ernie McCracken]

The best of the SEC is still alive and kicking....The rest of the conference were pretenders, not contenders! IMO

GBO

 

[BowlBrother85]

I really don't care .... I was glad to see Vanderbilt go down, but with a chance of having 7 teams in the Sweet 16, I would say the OP jumped the gun a bit.

 

[GVF]

14 of 16 teams in. 7 advance to Sweet 16. I'd say that's pretty good perofrmance. No true upset losses.

A strong argument could be made that Texas did not deserve to secure a play-in game spot as one of the 14. There were better choices for that.

7 SEC teams in the sweet 16 is the most by a single conference in tournament history. What a dumb hot take that was.

Yep, it did not age well.

 

[Volnanza]

The SEC is just flexing right now.
