Title: SEC Tournament Starts Wednesday-Tide #1 Seed
Post by: Marshal Dillon on March 07, 2021, 09:13:48 PM
First game is Vandy & Texas A&M on Wednesday. Tide plays Friday @ 11ma on ESPN against the Miss State/Kentucky winner on Thursday. Thursday has some interesting games like Missouri/Georgia & Miss. State/Kentucky game.

Also, some interesting games like BC/Duke (has to win to have any chance of NCAA bid) on Tuesday in ACC. Big Ten schedule not set, yet.

Depending on what happens in the Big 10, Alabama has a chance to move up to a one seed.

Yeah, especially with Michigan losing to Mich. St. yesterday.

Would we be better at a #1 seed or #2 seed? RTR!

Article about the Tide and something several of us was talking about.



Quote
Double-digit January routs of some of the SEC’s best teams now seem like a distant memory for Alabama, which fell behind 14 points in the first half Saturday in Athens. The Tide had to pull itself up from another lethargic mid-day start away from Coleman Coliseum and recover to beat a team it handled easily three weeks before.

Coach Nate Oats told his players in the Stegeman Coliseum locker room afterward that he needs their second-half effort against Georgia to carry over to a full-game push when the Tide next plays in Friday’s tournament quarterfinals.

My expectation is that it won't matter. I fully expect Bama to get sent home early from the NCAA tourney...

Gosh I was looking at the Bracketology and I thought Sweet 16 and possible Elite 8. RTR!

NEGATIVE NANCY!!!! NEGATIVE NANCY!!!!


(I think we'll win one or two...I don't see a Final 4)

I agree I just can't see us lasting with our speed offense up to the Final 4 but I can hope realistically for an Elite 8. RTR!

OUCH! That does hurt buy I do have concerns of losing in the 2nd round. If we can continue to play solid D and can have a couple of players to each score 15-25 points in the game, we have a chance to make at least the Elite Eight.

The Elite 8 would be a huge accomplishment.  I'd be satisfied with a Sweet 16, assuming we lost a close game.

Winning the SEC Tourney and making the Sweet 16 would be gigantic compared to the last 25 years.

At noon today you've got Miss St vs Ky. The winner will play Bama tomorrow at noon.

Vandy and UF play at 2:30; Ga and Mizzou at 7:30; and USCe vs Ole Miss at 9:30.

Where are the boogs?  :dunno: Oh yeah, they have a post season ban.  :lol3:

Bama has a fairly dangerous first game as a 1-seed.

Each game is dangerous the way we've been letting people jump out to a lead. RTR!

Missie St nips KY 74-73.  I was hoping for OT so they would be a little more tired tomorrow.

UF held off Vandy 69-63 and Mizzou squeaked by UGa 73-70. Ole Miss and USCe square off in about 15 minutes.

Bingo! Tide plays Miss. State on Friday at 11 am. Tide has struggled to beat MSU twice this season. We have to hit some threes and make our lay-ups.

Ole Miss underachieved all year, and now realize they must win to dance.  :facepalm:

Lunardi has Ole Miss as the "first team out" of the tournament in his latest ESPN Bracketology.   Seems that he thinks they could make the dance by winning a couple more games in the SEC tournament.

Well whether we win or not we are in the dance. RTR!
