The SEC sucks. It's going to be up to Tennessee to show anything, it appears. Kentucky's loss corresponds to Fogler's loss to Richmond. 3 lost to 14.

THREE-POINT shots did it. One Oakland guy hit 10 of them!

My disdain for Tenn trumps my fandom for the conference. I’ll smile if Tenn goes down.
I hate that the league makes a habit of placing a decent number of teams in other than bottom-dwelling seedings and routinely gets stomped in the early rounds. This has happened before - multiple times. The league's commissioner several years ago addressed the SEC's need to step it up in men's basketball. We ain't done it. Maybe Texas and Oklahoma will add some strength and be for real. As it is, MBB in this league is a clown show.

At least our disastrous loss to Oregon will now take its place along with everything else in our history…forgotten.

The over the top celebration for beating UK early in the season looks kind of silly now.

The tourney is its own monster - beating UK is still great. If you want to take over the conference, you have to start with beating the perennial front-runners on a regular basis.

Next season is the real test. Will this year be a blip, or a beginning, for USC?

That boy from North Carolina that can shoot the eyes out of it will be fun to watch, at least.

The first season after a new coach's raise and extension always seems to be a big test for us. 😀

So far, the tournament is looking like confirmation that the SEC was vastly overrated this season. Maybe Auburn and UT can hang on for a while and salvage some dignity for the SEC.

Next season will tell a lot about USC and Paris. Carolina's history with coaches who are given big raises and extensions does not give a lot of cause for being overly optimistic.

He was talking about reclassifying. Who knows?
This team desperately needs a shooter. It was too common an occurrence this year for the team to have prolonged dry spells. Went almost the last half of the first half yesterday without hitting a bucket.

That is how I feel about UF. I pull for anyone who is playing against them regardless of the sport.
I hate them more than any other school (Yes, I said ANY other school, and it's not even close)

Well the team projected to finish last in the conference, did go 13-5 in conference play, what does that tell us about the other guys? :)
