Always interesting to watch the SEC struggle in non conference, only to see their teams rise in the rankings by not losing to other crappy teams. We make a ton of cash with the BIG network, but it comes at a price. I don't know maybe it's just a BIG fan stuck in the heart of SEC country that has jaded me. But who would you rather go through this year in a conference tourney with a NCAA berth on the line, SEC or BIG? SEC. It's the deeper league but Auburn is the only team they have on the level of our top 3, and they're undersized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CauseThatsMyDJ Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Dratings updated their bracketology this morning. We are the lowest NIT 7th seed. https://www.dratings.com/predictor/bracketology/ We are currently 73rd in KenPom (which we all know is hampered by the early season woes)...the projected #2 seeds are as follows: St Bonaventure (63) Utah (60) USC (53) Georgia (70) We would have a chance to make some noise in the NIT.

I do think we will see a few teams turn down bids to NIT/NCAAT and the residual impact should help us out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacarcio Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Super frustrating because of how fun this team is to watch when things are going well. Would be sad if we only get one more game this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just depends on how many upsets are in the one bid leagues because if the regular season champs lose in the conference tournament then they get a bid to the NIT.

Interesting. I believe we are 3-1 against other teams they have listed (and all top 4 seeds). More evidence of how "automatic qualifiers" are similar to participation trophy recipients.

FKIM01 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I find it comical that the NIT has automatic qualifiers as a second tier tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
