Real shot that 4-1 makes us a top 4 seed. Oklahoma is first team out so they will be ready to play.
To me this season feels like the 2003 season. We were a good club, No. 3 seed (got put with No. 6 seed Texas in Dallas) but it set up a great 2004 season where we won the SEC.

I was thinking the same thing. That was actually the 2002 team but we got super hot near the end of the season and won the SEC Tournament. I don’t think we were even ranked in the top 25 until late in the season, but we zoomed all the way up to a 3 seed. In 2003, we were a 5 seed and lost to Butler in the first round after Clark Kellogg picked us to go to the Final Four on the selection show.
Great…. Get that classic 5 and 12 upset****Men's Bracketology: Belmont is first conference 1-seed to fall

So you’re telling me we aren’t getting any calls from the refs?
I was thinking the same. Anytime there is a chance for us to lend a helping hand to an underdog . . .
Those seasons run together. Sorry for mixing them up. I was in Dallas, Orlando and Birmingham for those games. Vowed never to go to a first weekend NCAAT game again.
We were not ranked when we were making that run in the SEC tournament. We were undefeated on the road yet still not ranked. I remember a commentator on ESPN at the time said something like “What an embarrassment that Mississippi State isn’t ranked”. I’ll always remember that.
