The results of tonight do not change my position at all. South Carolina was in that game closer than that final score indicates. I think they are in that bubble group.

Vandy picked up the St. Mary's win on the road since I posted. They have been winning with no help from their stud freshman Jenkins.

M State has to get Sidney eligible. Everyone who knows anything about basketball has discussed that. He should be back in the next two weeks with the recent talk from his lawyer and all documents turned over.

You are the only one who really knows anything about basketball on this forum. Sidney is apparently a very good talent, but he isn't playing and may not play. Just like you say he will help their inside game when they have the best defensive inside player who is playing right now.

Interesting how many people on this thread showed/show no respect to Vanderbilt or Florida.

BS. Everybody said that UF's win was a good win but were smart enough to know that MSU was not at full strength. Give it up, man; just let the season play out and spare everyone your prognostication garbage that is 99% inaccurate.

As of right now, I would leave MSU off and just have UT, UK, and possibly Ole Miss.

You are right, my prognostication is 99% inaccurate.

I said at the start of the year that the basketball team would be better than last year, would play better defense etc.

I was dead wrong in thinking that JP Prince would have a good year at least as far as I can tell so far. I admitted that.

I also said the SEC would be much better than last year. You said the SEC would be bad. You also predicted 3 SEC teams in the NCAAs...

It is okay to show a very poor grasp of the skill level of various NCAA bb teams. It is just sad when you think that bluster now will cover over the fact that you were WAY off.

"The season is early" is a basketball cliche along with "marathon not a sprint" that holds up when you are talking about 1 tournament or 1 team that is deeply impacted by something like Miss. State missing their best player, but it is not going to save the SEC sucks crowd from the fact that the SEC has more teams than any of them predicted who have big OOC wins.

Reflexive Michigan State bashing looks retarded. If TN had beaten Purdue it would have been blamed on their starting guard (who played equivalent minutes to the backup) being out. No one is saying that South Carolina only lost the 1 game they lose because their best inside man was out for the game...

Just go ahead and admit that two months ago when you were a part of the group of 3-4 mocking me, you made predictions and you were wrong.

Dude, if you want to think that the SEC is some kind of power this year, go for it. I just don't think you're little BS threads are convincing anyone else. The SEC and the Pac-10 look to be even this year with a possible edge to the SEC, but imo every other BCS conference is ahead of the SEC, by quite a bit.

The SEC is better than the PAC 10. Of course, so are the A-10, WCC, and MVC. The Colonial can also make a case.

I wonder what the heck has happened to UCLA? They look like absolute trash this year.

Young. Two top 5 recruiting classes the last couple of years so they have the potential to get better

Losing all those guys two and three years early has finally caught up to them. They're in pretty much the same boat as Arizona. They have next to no quality talent with significant experience.

haha I also find it funny that Howland reinstates that one kid that was arrested for assault.

Do you think Howland is going to start feeling some heat if this season goes as it looks like it will?

Gary Parrish on UCLA:
Player who should lose his scholarship: Jerime Anderson was once a top 35 recruit committed to UCLA, projected to become the next Jordan Farmar, Darren Collison, etc. Instead, he's a sophomore averaging 6.2 points, 3.0 assists and 3.4 turnovers in 29.0 minutes per game. Anderson had four assists and six turnovers in Friday's 69-67 loss to Butler. Even worse, he was destroyed off the dribble by Casper Ware in Sunday's loss to Long Beach State, so much so that Ben Howland was forced to switch Malcolm Lee onto the 49ers' point guard. Afterward, Howland said he's going to start playing some zone for the first time since 2004 in an attempt to hide his guards' weaknesses, this despite Howland's Wikipedia page pointing out that "aggressive man-to-man defense is the trademark of Ben Howland-coached teams." Um, not this season it isn't.

UCLA will be back. Their history indicates that they won't be at this level long. As for the SEC, we have had some good wins, but we still are not a strong conference and won't be this season.

What qualifies as being a strong conference? Is 5th best not strong to you? Is 4th best strong or not? What about 3rd best?

The SEC should be in the top three every year. We aren't there and no matter how much you try to make the conference strong by picking one win, although it is ususally an upset, we are not going to be a strong conference this year. It is even debatable if we are better than last year from top to bottom.
