Well, it wasn’t 40, and they didn’t score 100. We got that goin for us.
I hope there is nothing in this game that gives our tournament opponent a blueprint. Whoever we play in the tournaments should not have nearly as good athletes.
I would’ve said the game was irrelevant for seeding except that we got annihilated
It doesn’t unless they can go 10 deep against us. Auburn should go a long way in the tournament. They are deep and athletic. I don’t want any part of them in the tournament. They could be a 1-3 seed which will set them up nicely and they can match up against anybody. While we are happy and grateful to be where we are, they come into the season knowing they would compete for a championship. We are on a magical ride but not the same ride they are on. We could be a surprise team to make it to the sweet 16 or elite 8, but it depends on the match ups. Auburn will be a disappointment if they don’t make it that far.
Yes that game will hurt our seeding, unless the committee considers the "body" of work, that is, the entire season. I ought to call my buddy who is a retired AD, who I worked with once in my career, and whose teams went to the Big Dance, about it. But he has been out of it for about a decade, at least.
Matters could be worse. You could be a Boeing stockholder, with your stock down 31% in three months. I hope no one here works in their North Charleston facility.
Maybe that actually helps us. UT and UK losing takes some of the focus off us. Also, I think the committee probably expects that you see crazy results in conference tournaments.
Talk about a missed opportunity. Would have been a nice path to the SEC Tourney Championship if we had taken care of business.
Agree, I think we didn’t hurt our seed, it was already set unless we won the SEC championship. I still think we are a dangerous team and see several SEC teams going deep in the championship. Hell, we might have 2 teams in the final 4. I’d love to see us get to the sweet 16 at least and it’s definitely possible, maybe not likely, but possible. As good as we are, Auburn has shown that a deep team can handle us. We can outlast a thin, but talented team, but not those guys. How many teams are as deep as Auburn? I can’t think of one.
On the other hand, both of those losses take just a wee bit of luster off our two best wins.
If the committee needed some low-hanging fruit to help them make the choice between UT and UNC for the last #1 seed, UT's loss made it easy for them. They will drop to a #2.
I think we will drop from a #5 to a #6. I'm not sure that makes much difference.
