2025 SEC Tournament Central

I'm totally fine with our draw and region....I think we take them all behind the woodshed. Every other good team in our region is from east of the Mississippi, so I don't think we'll have a crowd disadvantage - which means they'll be true neutral games. I think that bodes very well for us
All that said, the committee is lazy as hell...and they certainly keep their criteria for choosing brackets in the dark...and no way we're #4 overall as of this moment....but I think we did pretty well with our region all things considered

 

good question - hope we do

 

Borzello from ESPN did say this about our region:



WEST REGION ANALYSIS

This is the toughest region, bar none.

Before the field was announced, I made a short list of teams I could see myself picking to make the Final Four -- only seven teams made the cut. And four of them are in this region.

There's not a team in the country playing better than Florida right now, but as the fourth 1-seed, the Gators have a brutal path to San Antonio: a second-round matchup with the two-time reigning national champions, followed by a potential Sweet 16 game against Maryland, followed by an Elite Eight game against either St. John's or Texas Tech. I think they'll get there, but it won't be easy.



He may or may not be right - he is right about those being tough teams or historically tough teams, but I think it's tough to tell how well they stack up against us or other SEC teams. I'm not taking any game for granted though and I'm sure our team isn't either. One loss and we're out, so we have to come out on fire every game and really be in sync on both sides of the ball, take care of the ball and rebound like madmen
