If Memphis is a #1 seed they will make great fade material!!!!

ryanXL977 · 03-15-09, 04:00 PM

i agree, LSU and tenn
thats 2, i agree on two, i just dont think 3
why do SEC teams play like they are in high school

like morons
ACC and big east teams are miles smarter and better coached

the SEC teams have the worst coaches in the world
PAC10 is much more sound and better coached than SEC

No, SEC is garbage. May get one team in Sweet Sixteen, but it depends on matchups (as usual....DUH....lol)

ryanXL977 · 03-15-09, 04:04 PM

SEC is utter crap

big 12 may get 3 to the sweet 16, SEC wont

mizzou is better than any sec team, and OU is also

TPowell · 03-15-09, 04:04 PM

I agree with Ryan, SEC basketball is the stupidest **** I've ever watched. Guys just randomly shooting jump shots with no ball movement

Mac4Lyfe · 03-15-09, 04:04 PM

I never said 3 teams in the elite eight. I dont think any conference will do that. I think the SEC will get 2 teams in the 16, one in the 8 and 1 in the final four. That will be pretty hard with only 3 teams getting in (I think Auburn gets snubbed).

What people is failing to realize is the SEC just dont have a dominant team like a Duke or Pitt! But these teams are really balanced and they can get to a sweet 16! Especially if Memphis can LSU and Tenn can make it!

Would that be the same Big12 that an average Arkansas beat both OU and UT (that conferences best teams) in the same week

TPowell · 03-15-09, 04:06 PM

Big East could very easily get 3 teams in the Elite 8. They should get 3 #1 seeds so I think its a good possiblity

ryanXL977 · 03-15-09, 04:06 PM

which SEC team gets to final four mac? seriously?

acc should get one , big east should get 1, big 12 could even get one, then the other may go to some sleeper big east or acc team.

i dont think any sec team will sniff the Final four
cuse is better than any sec team, so is pitt, so is uconn, so is nova

sec is a football conference ,
pitt is not going anywhere thogh. cuse is!

I agree... The SEC is going to make a statement about being snubbed. Remember when LSU and UF both made it in 06.

LSU, Auburn and Tennessee all got better as the season progressed. MSU can beat anyone because they play smothering defense and Varnardo is the best shot blocker in the country.

It all depends on matchups but I wouldn't fade this conference.

LT Profits · 03-15-09, 04:10 PM

I think Big East could get two teams in Final Four. I wouldn't say that about any other conference.

but pitt and duke arent dominant, there are 5 other teams in those conferences who are awesome

wake
ul
cuse
uconn
unc
fsu
nova
marquette
clemson

all those teams are better than ANY SEC team
all of them

TPowell · 03-15-09, 04:12 PM

Pitt may not be dominant, but they at least play a tough brand of basketball. I'm sorry but Duke doesnt impress me at all.

LT Profits · 03-15-09, 04:12 PM

For SEC, "making a statement" would be getting two teams in the Sweet 16. I don't expect to see ANY SEC team in the Elite Eight.

Ryan, how could a UK fan say that the SEC is a football conference? The SEC has won more titles in the last 15 years than any other conference. Shame on you

LSU or UT both can make it to the final four... They both are very experienced and have been there before. UT is playing much better than a month ago when they were content to just jack up bad shots. Even though they lost today don't count them out. They've been playing much smarter the past few weeks and they have excellent talent.

LSU's frontcourt is experienced and gives teams fits. They match up very well with a team like Memphis or Big East teams like Pitt or Uconn.

I just love when the media pumps up conferences/teams and the buying public buys in. There's going to be some good value lines out there.

One thing for certain is that theirs much more parity in the tourney. A mid major could make a run as well ala George Mason.

ryanXL977 · 03-15-09, 04:19 PM

why cant i have an opinion without being a "hater" or following the "media"

i dont know who the media loves other than duke and the yankees.

memphis will be a tuff out

but im sticking with siena to win it all

ryanXL977 · 03-15-09, 04:23 PM

you guys, we can have a different opinion and still be friends. i dont think SEC is close to the ACC, BE, or even the BIG12,
not even sure its as good as the PAc10

thats my opinion, its not worth much. but ive formed it on my own. big deal, i dont think the SEC is good at basketball, so what

rjt721 · 03-15-09, 04:25 PM

And if they're a No. 2 seed you wouldn't "fade" them? There's little difference between a 1 or 2 seed, so if you truly feel they're overrated, that theory would hold true regardless of their seeding.

South Carolina has no shot of making the field.

Blindly betting against a team before you know the opponent and subsequent line. Brilliant.

My bad, I thought you were good at capping UK games...

Not saying your a hater, its your opinion and you look more right than me at this point. The SEC hasn't done anything at this point to really impress anyone but I look at matchups, size, depth, leadership, etc. I look at OU for example that I think is overrated, they have looked awful since Blake got concussed. They will get a great seeding but I know they are going to make an early exit. Then I look at an LSU, who are underrated but have guys on the team older than me, haha, who've been to a final four already but have been improving every month. Or a UT that everyone disrespects because they look like they have zero discipline but are very experienced, played I think the toughest schedule in the country and have nothing to lose and can play loose. These 2 teams are better than half the tourney so getting to the 16 is doable.

you may be right about lsu and tenn , mac
im not an ncaa expert, i dont claim to be

i know nba and mlb, the other stuff i enjoy watching but dont follow matchups at all.
i dont follow espn, i just saw lsu get thumped and tenn play foolishly. thats all im going off of.
I fade UK all the time, faded them vs South CAR, vs LSU (+170) , they are bad.

South Carolina may get in... Heck should State Penn get in over South Carolina or even Florida??

How about Michigan or Wisconsin? Those teams aren't as good as USC IMO. It's going to be very close for many teams. This is probably the closest I've seen bubble teams in years. Most teams are now scheduling cupcakes so it makes it much tougher.

A bunch of people are going to be upset in an hour.
