good grief…. what a ridiculous rule

Yup. Inventing solutions to problems that do not exist.

How conferences are doing in NCAA tournament

1. Pac 12 5-0
2.ACC 4-1
3. Big Ten 4-2
4. Big 12 5-3
5. MWC 3-4
6. SEC 3-5

The deepest conferences with the most grueling schedules struggled the most. Shocker.

The Tennessee men's basketball team advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament for the second year in a row. The No. 2 seeded Vols defeated Butler 76-71 in overtime at the East Regional.

JaJuan Smith hit four straight free throws in the final 13.6 seconds of overtime and the Volunteers held on for their win over Butler in the second round of the NCAA tournament, barely surviving a game they at times threatened to turn into an East Regional rout.

It was the first second-round game featuring two 30-win teams, and it definitely lived up to the distinction.

The Vols (31-4) scored six straight points inside after the Bulldogs took their first lead in the final two minutes of overtime, including benched guard Ramar Smith's basket with 27 seconds left to make it 72-68.

Butler (30-4) still wouldn't go away. Pete Campbell followed a missed shot to make it 72-70 with 16 seconds left. JaJaun Smith then made both free throws, and Julian Betko rebounded a missed 3-pointer by A.J. Graves and was fouled with 4.9 seconds left for Butler. He made 1-of-2 from the line, and Smith grabbed the rebound before icing the game with foul shots at the other end.

Wayne Chism finished with 16 points to lead the Vols, while Tyler Smith chipped in 15.

St Mary's hurt the worst. I had them in my final 4.

I do have JMU in the sweet 16, so I've got that going for me. Which is nice.

Did Auburn win? I know that’s a stupid question cause if they didn’t we would have to question Pearl’s competence and post season performance.

Maybe let’s just make it through the weekend before we worry about anyone else being knocked out.

How does a Power 5 conference tournament champion lose to a Ivy League school? Who BTW doesn't offer athletic scholarships .

Auburn lost to a team of future Politicians

Ump was out of position. When I played, the ump was in front of the bag between second and the mound giving him a clear picture of the tag.

Auburn fan walks into a bar. Asks the bartender. “Who did we lose to in the 2024 NCAA Tournament?”

Bartender says, “Yale.”


Auburn fan says, “WHO DID WE LOSE TO IN THE 2024 NCAA TOURNAMENT??”

The SEC is almost as good as the Mountain West!!

 

[Orangeburst]

I hateTexas and we hardly ever play them in any sport. Cannot imagine the disgust once they start SEC play.

 

[Orangeburst]

We need a meme where the Grim Reaper is knockin* on SEC teams doors and when he gets to our door, we punch him in the nose.

I take it as...if you're only a 3.5 pt favorite as a 1-seed in the round of 32...there's something with ya...

If only we could get to the bottom of it

 

[Devo182]

So is the SEC overrated in basketball?

The SEC sucks.

Not sure if that answers the question. Just facts

Also. . . how could he even manage that? No straps anywhere, loose straps? He must've plowed his brakes pretty hard to get a launch like that,

That will be the media narrative but I don't think so.
Vols/AM/Bama all looked good.
Auburns loss was a fluke.
Florida ran into a Colorado team that would've been a couple lines higher if theybhad beaten Oregon.
MSST played a pre season top 5 team, who's 3 guards finally put it all together.
South Carolina played above their talent level all season and finally came crashing back down.
UK was never going deep because they play 0 defense.
I would argue the 3 best teams are still alive.
