Dear Mike Slive and the rest of the SEC, including and especially referees:
In case you haven't figured it out, getting more teams into the NCAA Tournament is preferable to getting fewer teams in. Even with two solid wins in the last two days, Mississippi State is far from a lock to make it into this year's Big Dance. The only way State is guaranteed a berth is if the Bulldogs beat Kentucky in the SEC Tournament championship game on Sunday.
Just in case it isn't quite clear, I'll go ahead and spell it out. Mississippi State winning on Sunday ensures an extra team from the conference makes it to the NCAA Tournament, which is good for the conference overall.
Please take Kentucky's johnson out of your mouths and do what's best for the conference.
Sincerely,
FQ Dawg
