SEC Tournament

[81spacetiger 157]

In the 1st round I believe:

1. MIZ takes down OM

2. Vandy bests uga

 

What say you?

[Hopsing 577]

UGAY may never win another game in their current state. I ain’t mad though!

Yep. That's the most likely outcome.

And to the AU fan that was wondering what balls will be used...

Don't be rude to gay people.  My kids are gay, and my wife is bi...they would be pissed if someone tied them to UGA in any way 🙂

Fair enough!

Here is how I see the SEC tourney playing out:

Day 1 -  Missouri beating Ole Miss  and  Vanderbilt beating Georgia

Day 2 - Florida beating Texas A&M,  LSU beating Missouri, Miss. St. beating South Carolina, and Alabama beating Vanderbilt

Day 3 - Auburn beating Florida, Arkansas beating LSU, Tennessee beating Miss. St. and Kentucky beating Alabama

Day 4 - Auburn beating Arkansas and Tennessee beating Kentucky

Day 5 - Auburn beating Tennessee

Again, just my opinion but I see the Miss. St. over SC as a slight upset and Tennessee over Kentucky as a bigger upset.  We will avenge three of our four loses on the season.  We will go into the Big Dance as a #1 seed and on a roll.

 

[AUBwins 10,074]

This will be good bracket practice....

Day 1 -  Missouri over Ole Miss  and  Vanderbilt over Georgia

Day 2 - Texas A&M over Florida,  LSU over Missouri, South Carolina over MSU, and Alabama over Vanderbilt

Day 3 - Auburn over Texas AM, LSU over Ark, South Carolina over Tennessee and Kentucky over Alabama

Day 4 - Auburn over LSU and Kentucky over South Carolina

Day 5 - Auburn over Kentucky

That last game could obviously swing either way but I feel we will turn on the switch this tourney and think we win it regardless of who's there. 

I'm riding the South Carolina cinderella run for a little while. Got LSU upset Arkansas in their Jekyll Hyde season. 

If TAMU was not playing us, I'd take them to championship game. Just a hunch.  If they beat us, they may win it.  Again, just a hunch.

I could see LSU making a very extended run

Some mighty beautiful thinking here. I'm definitely not a negative nelly. I'm 100% tiger.

HOWEVER ....

1. Auburn has not played well lately on the road, and all these tournament games will be on the road.
2. Florida, Tennessee, and Arkansas beat Auburn on the road, AND Kentucky is playing really good ball now.

Realistically, I don't expect Auburn to reach the championship game UNLESS they solve the problems that have plagued them of late on the road ....

1. Turnovers
2. Three point shooting
3. Rebounding

Of course, this is a team that can actually do that! And my concerns are just trying to be objective. Does Auburn get eliminated in the SEC Championship semi finals?

Personally, I'll be screaming Orange & Blue at the TV every game. How wonderful it would be to win the SEC Championship tourney and then go really deep in the NCAAs.

WDE! Auburn Forever!

Florida, TN and Arky beat Auburn on their home courts. Auburn beat everyone on their home court and has the best road record in the SEC. I’m concerned, too, but…

[Jgarrett7 957]

Neutral is not the same as on the road

[AUApostle 7,651]

Steven Pearl said the sole reason they scheduled the USF game this year was so they’d be familiar with the arena in Tampa.

We won there 58-52.

Actually it is, but it’s not the same as being a visitor on someone’s home court. If Auburn continues to travel well, it will help.

[aucanucktiger 1,791]

That loss to UF and their delusion fans is something I hope we remedy with an oh, say, 30 pt bludgeoning AU win.

[AUinMS9528 1,086]

However many games we play from here on out, I think every single one of them (with the possible exception of NCAA 1st round) will be stressful and nerve racking.    I’m going to double my blood pressure meds for a few weeks.  😁

That is what I’m saying it’s not the same as playing on another teams home court

Wow. That's some next level planning for the future right there.

Most importantly, AU led all three of these games and had their shot at beating FL and ARK on the final possession in regulation, but Green had brain farts in both. Led TN by double digits. Would have beaten UConn in regulation if Jabari rebounds the missed FT.

If they can play that well in hostile crowds, they should have leads against everyone in the 2nd half on a neutral court. Whether they can finish those leads is still a mystery. As long as Green can get the ball to Jabari in crunch time, preferably around a screen, we’ll have a chance to beat everyone. And if the double team comes, be prepared to find the open man.

Mizzou beats OM to play LSU--wonder if LSU will be distracted?

These were all my picks; looser of each game was shaded.  The only upset was Vandy besting ua.

 

[81spacetiger 157]

Wow, uga looks awful, 14 pts at the half.  The coach will be canned after the game and not allowed to get on the plane home...

[Cardin Drake 1,821]

Florida favored by 2 over the Ags. 

[Tigger1985 806]

Hopefully we get Refs that call things equally instead of letting our guys get assaulted coming down the court.
