Even that tiebreaker is stupid! How is that fair? Auburn played Kentucky at Rupp, while we had to go on the road and play at Auburn. How about the first tiebreaker be if the two teams split the series, then go to the overall record. Or if the two teams split the series, then the next thing should be margin of victory when they played each other. It is not fair to use a team in the conference that each team played, when those games were played on unequal stages.

Actually:
KY beat AU on the road 82-80
TN lost to AU on the road 80-84

The 2nd tiebreaker rule is winning % against each team starting from the top team through the last.
TN and KY split with each other
TN and KY both lost to LSU
TN (2-0) and KY (1-0) both were 100% vs South Carolina
KY beat AU and TN lost to AU = KY gets the 2 spot

Conversation in Birmingham:

“How will we decide the tiebreaker?”

“Which one benefits UK without seeming too obvious?”

“Record against Auburn.”

“Ok go with that one.”

Unless they're being forced, aren't the objectifying themselves...eventually women must take responsibility/accountability

It's a very seedy industry. I am not going to judge someone who chooses that lifestyle, but I am but not sure what you mean by forced. Women get exploited and controlled by people in the industry.

I like their wings. I like a breaded wing so that's part of it but I like a lot of things on the menu. I like the steamed shrimp, buffalo shrimp, grilled chicken sandwich, and their burger. Their fries aren't bad either. My wife won't go in one, but she calls me all the time to bring it home. 😊

Two ladies I work with get Grub Hub to bring Hooters food at least once a week.

So reflecting... we had a historic year with a favorable schedule allowing us to get to #1. We beat Gonzaga without their starter and beat UK without their starter. Those are our 2 signature wins. We are a very good team and I am very proud of what we have done. However, we are not an elite 8/final 4 team with the defense we play.

Hate away kids.

You are not a fan. This proves it to me. Go sniff your butt like a stupid little dawggie.

I agree with most of the post, but we have, on occasion, played elite defense. We just aren't consistent with it. If we embrace the mindset of playing elite defense, I think this team has a real shot at the SECT and can go deep in the NCAA. Unfortunately, I haven't seen that commitment and consistency of late.

Hope the BB Vols do well, but really don't care much about what happens in the SECT. just want them to get through it without injuries.

To date the 4 losses all had the same negative factors - defense was poor, depended on outside shooting, at least one player was selfish on offense, less than friendly officiating. In the tournament that matters, the focus narrows - win or go home. Scouting is easier because tape is available on known and potential opponents for an entire season. There are extra days of rest/preparation time before the first games each week. That benefits teams who play their starters a lot of minutes like our guys do. Our guys have now played in enough big games to not be rattled, which happened only one time all season against a top 10 team with heavily slanted officiating.

So I'm saying there's a chance.
