They did not beat MSU because MSU had its best players foul out, they did not win because MSU had a freakishly bad game from 3 (like NC State against NW) or because Florida had a freakishly good game from 3 (a great equalizer that sometimes sends "worse" teams past their betters in the tournament until the heat cools).

Jesus, why did they win then?

This is my first post so don't hate too much, but I also think that the big ten is overrated. I think that Michigan State will be better by years end, but they don't have any real tall players inside that can match up with teams like UNC, KU, UK. I do think that overall the big ten is better than the SEC, but not by much. Top to bottom I believe its 1. big east, 2. acc, 3. big 12, 4. big ten, 5. sec. I really think the SEC only has 3 potential sweet sixteen teams in UK, Tenn, UF. But then again, the big ten really only has 3 as well in MSU, Purdue, OSU. I just don't buy into Michigan, Minnesota, Ill, or Northwestern as legit at this point.

Despite awful three point shooting on both sides, (5 of 24 UF, 2 of 10 for MSU) the Gators won the game because they played great defense and made their free throws. MSU had 24 turnovers I think?

When you saw what happened when UF played FSU it is clear that this UF team is committed to causing turnovers with a defense that correctly guesses alot in closing down passing lanes and picking up turnovers.

Did I seriously just read where a certain Prognosticator stated that the SEC had 4 teams that could make the Final Four?

And of those four, three of them are UT, UF, and MSU.

Wow

Panda,

I watched both the games discussed. I think sometimes the "better team" can lose a game head to head. If for instance Alabama lost to Auburn in football the "better team" lost. In the same way, TN was better than UCLA and would win that game 9/10 times, it just so happened that Crompton had one of the worst QB performances I have ever witnessed.

The Florida team that I have been watching looks really strong. They did not beat MSU because MSU had its best players foul out, they did not win because MSU had a freakishly bad game from 3 (like NC State against NW) or because Florida had a freakishly good game from 3 (a great equalizer that sometimes sends "worse" teams past their betters in the tournament until the heat cools).

Did you watch the Illinois Clemson game? Clemson and NC State honestly looked horribly coached to me. It is unreal how flat they were in the 2nd half giving away a gigantic lead (20 plus points), turning the ball over without defensive pressure causing it etc. It was just really hard to watch.

If I argued that the SEC was the equal to the Big East, I would be deservedly laughed at. If and when the SEC is widely accepted as better than the Big 10 after some more OOC victories (I posted about all of those opportunities) then people will say I guessed...oh well. If Miss. State gets Sidney and is a top 15 team by March, people will say that the Big Ten was better than the SEC back in December, but that things changed by March.

I do not see any credible arguments that the Big 10 is significantly better than the SEC. Both conferences have teams that are painfully bad (Iowa, Arkansas) both conferences have teams that could get to the Final 4 (UK, UT, UF, MSU, Purdue)...which conference is better depends on teams 5-9 and how they do.

By far the worst guess you've ever made.

That is saying a lot too.

You would honestly be better served to flip a coin when making predictions.

Come on now, MHF thinks all SEC teams with the exception of Ga., Auburn, and Arkansas are potential final 4 teams.

The fact you said Florida may be in the Final Four cancels out any misunderstanding I had.

I second this. No way Florida has a remote chance of making Final Four, aside from every team in their path forfeiting the game to Florida.

L4T - How's the baby situation? (Hope ya don't mind me askin on the here. I can send PM if ya prefer). You a daddy yet?
