January: Other NCAA Games

[caw]

It's looking like the Texas and Baylor wins are going to age like avocados. Baylor will probably win some big home games just with the number of opportunities in the Big12, but they're not a top 10 team like they were pegged in the preseason.

Texas just doesn't run any semblance of an offense. Almost like Arkansas but with worse talent (as a team).

Texas didn’t play last night. But yes Terry is one of if not the worst coach in American, alongside guys like Woodson and Cal. Cal has bottomed out.

Arkansas is 0-4 in league play after losing to 0-3 LSU. They may not win more than a few games in league play. Meleek Thomas must be excited to be part of the roll the ball out there and go offense.

Gotta give Cal credit. Not only has he been able to keep his fraud going for well over two decades now, he still has morons falling all over him to give him more money.

Bernie Madoff would be proud

It’s not like he doesn’t have talent this year. He has a holdover in Brazile once thought to be a lottery pick. He brought in 2 top portal guys in Davis and Aidoo, both who have played deep into the tourney. He’s got two of his own UK guys in Thiero and Wagner (burger boy), and 3 frosh burger boys in Knox, Fland and Richmond.

By all accounts that is a loaded roster, that he do nothing with. A Ponzii scheme indeed.

The SEC is a land mine. Unranked Missouri goes to Gainesville and knocks off #5 Florida 83-82.

#21 Ole Miss beats #4 Alabama in Tuscaloosa 74-64.

#1 Auburn and #8 Kentucky hold serve at home.

from bracketology yesterday morning before the big upsets:

It was only a matter of time before the quality of this year's SEC eroded its quantity of projected NCAA bids. Since somebody has to lose whenever one SEC team plays another, the league's bubble teams are living a game-to-game existence. A week ago, Arkansas and Vanderbilt were on the right side of the at-large cut line. Now, due to their combined 1-5 record in conference play, both would be hosting an NIT game if it were mid-March instead of mid-January. With Texas just behind the unlucky two, it's not wrong to say the SEC is a whisker away from 14 tournament bids. But the reality is there's a reason the Big East's 11 bids in 2011 is a record that has lasted nearly a decade and a half. For now, it seems the SEC will recover enough to ultimately break the record, mainly because there are simply so many Quadrant 1 opportunities for its tourney contenders, but that outcome is no longer a lock. And the first weeks of league play have made it clear this topic will be a major Bracketology discussion point through Selection Sunday.

In all likelihood, the only path to the SEC not getting 12 bids is for both the SEC and B1G to each get 11.
