That’s nuts. I wonder what the record is for most teams for one conference in the sweet 16.

Somebody do the legwork. I’m 3 drinks in and feeling lazy.
If it wouldn't be a new record at 7 I'd be very surprised.

I drank the SEC Kool-Aid. I had 9 in my Sweet Sixteen. If Ole Miss wins I'll have 6 right. Missed on Arkansas making it. Hopefully Ole Miss can pull away against Iowa State.

We started with 14 teams when they were 68 teams. That s about 20.5 %

In the round of 32 teams we had 8, that’s 25% of all,teams.

With 7 out 16 that’s 43.75 % out all teams, that’s outstanding.

We already know that will be at least one team in elite 8 because 2 sec teams ( TN / Kentucky ) are playing each other.

Really is crazy. And UTAM dominated 3/4 of their game and looked to be coasting to a W and blew it.

I had the 8 (including the 6 that made it and Mississippi). Missouri was my dud.

Dare I say it, UK vs AR for the National Championship? My heart wouldn't take it.
I don't think mine could either, same if matching up with Duke again. Really Duke or Arkansas winning it all, is about the only thing that could take the joy away from this season.
