(SB) Official Thread - SEC Tournament 2024

Six posts in a row Orange might be a Diamond Gators record. You are on a roll. Go Gators.

 

This is not correct. The KPI has just been released for today:

Faktor (faktorsports.com)

As I predicted before the conference tournament started, the top 8 based on a season worth of performances has already been inked. To do otherwise cheapens the importance of the regular season. Everybody else is playing for seeds 9-16.

Two teams have played like they know they are already in the top 8:

BYU 7
Oklahoma State 2

LSU 2
Tennessee 1

Think either of these teams are worried about being a top 8 seed? I don't.

My disappointment is the Gators didn't get a chance to play the vols before the WCWS. My hope is UF shows up loose, plays well, and wins the tournament.

Other scores of interest outside of the SEC:

Oklahoma 10
Kansas 1

Texas 13
Texas Tech 4

Duke 9
Boston College 0

Florida State 7
Notre Dame 0

Stanford 4
California 2

UCLA 6
Arizona State 0

Arizona 11
Washington 3

 

Seen a lot of weird rants on these boards over the years...this is a new one lol

 

Plus LSU could beat Bama, UT, and 2 more ranked teams and move the needle a lot

 

As Bugs would say, "What a Maroon".

 

I live 50 miles from Auburn and the weather is fine, no more rain till next week.

 

So, if you are 50 miles from Auburn, why are you at your computer and not at the tournament!!

More importantly, I was promised a 10AM start, and for some reason there are players on my TV screen wearing gray/white and red. I want to see orange/blue.

 

LSU at 12-12 in the SEC, swept by UTn, lost 2 of 3 to UF, and the 8 seed in the SEC tourney is more compelling for not being a top 8 seed. Besides, UF is 7 in the KPI and UCLA is 8. Since you see 8 UCLA getting in, how do you not see UF and Stanford? UCLA didn't play a full season of games or a full season of PAC 12 games.

 

Yes, I'm confident, have to be for the nervous nellies. I'll agree to shutdown talk about who gets in untill after the SEC tourney if you and others also agree. It's just 2 days. Deal?

 

So we are playing for the tournament run, not one win for SEC rankings -- apparently Brown to start.

========Update

That didn't age well. Never believe TV.

I will now turn down the volume on my TV, since apparently it's all "fake commentary."

 

Since the game day and time changed, I won't be around as much as I have a previously scheduled appointment-
I will check in though
GOOOO Gators!
