First Field of 64 projections

I don’t think that is much of a factor actually. The hay is in the barn for UF

 

Agree about the seeding. But the SEC tournament is a chance to get some of our guys' swings back right. Can't rely on 3-4 guys carrying the load.

 

"Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing." - Vince Lombardi.

If Gators or Hogs go 4-0 and win SEC tournament and Wake goes 2&Q in ACC tournament, the #1 overall seed might still be reachable. Gators also need to win at least one of the first two to ensure a third and get Jac a start -- he's hot right now on the bump and a week off can only hurt.

 

Agree wing—the main thing for the Gators at this point is play the games in front of you to stay sharp and focused while picking up no injuries.

 

Unless you are a bubble team, I dont think the SECs are all that important. Always want to win, but dont sweat it, give your starters some work, but keep them fresh, play your entire roster and get ready for round #1 in Gville.

 

UF is a top 8 national seed lock. However, the higher the seed, the better. Since UF has to be in Hoover, the Gators might as well win the tourney.

Beating Alabama or Kentucky in UF's opening round won't be easy. Both teams are going to Hoover to try to lock down a top 16 seed hosting slot.

 

Higher is better--but not the 1 seed. That seems to be a bad spot in the NCAA tourney.

 

UF has to be in Hoover.....but they don't have to be there 5 days and play 5 games and wear out the staff, so one could certainly argue the value of winning the tourney isn't worth the wear and tear on the roster. Especially considering we have national seed locked up and the reality is that seeding is often a roll of the dice anyway. What if the overall 1 seed draws a hot and rising SEC opponent in the supers like Auburn, Bama, UK .....while the 2 seed gets a Boston College or Indiana St? So many variables when it comes to seeding I just want to be sure we are at home and then see where the chips fall.

Edit...just saw todays D1 projection
2 seeded UF paired with BC, 1 seed gets Texas in supers, 3 seed gets Bama...total crapshoot

I see they have the sooners as a bubble team. Would be something if last years finalists, okla and ole miss don't make it.

 

not surprised to see dallas baptist and indiana state outside of hosting.

This can't be right!!! F$U is not on the list!!

 

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment, but Fresno State is not in a good shape to make the NCAA Tournament. At least they have a winning record and are still alive in their conference tournament as of today.

Go GATORS!
