Kentucky up 12 over SC 9 to Play

Kentucky missing fouls shots or it would be worse. Both in bonus. Terrible foul shooting teams today. 68-58 final. Carolina just took itself out of a number 1 seed argument I think.

This will surely end the ridiculous notion that SC was a potential #1 seed. I'll make a prediction right now that the SEC will go a 6th straight season without a FF team.

Well ... so much for the SC #1 seed. And I just think TN has too many questionable losses to get one either. Down to Louisville, WV, and Baylor I think and at that point if Louisville only has three losses to Uconn and one to KY and especially seeing as you already awarded them home court you might as well make it official and give them the last #1.

Kentucky won it but both teams played sloppy. Missed Free throws and turnovers galore. I was pulling for Kentucky but they made me twist and shout more than a few times during the game with their sloppy play.

Will be interesting to see whether USC now gets a 1 or 2 seed in NCAA.

Louisville playing at home is the 4th number 1 seed, no-one else has beaten anyone so UConn goes to Lincoln to help attendance there. The whole object of this hosting nonsense was to boost attendance, Stanford, Notre Dame, Louisville don't need help, Nebraska will, and the only team which travels from all over is UConn so they go there.

nice to see South Carolina lose

No way.... but if they beat Stanford tonight, they might end up getting into the tournament.

Oh I do hope so! Starting to look at airfare and rental cars. If it happens and I go, I will stay with family in Omaha and drive the 45 minutes or so to Lincoln.

I have to disagree a bit with UcMiami. If Tennessee wins the SEC tournament I think the committee will give them a #1 seed based on the RPI. It won't be deserved based on their body of work, but they'll get it anyway simply because the RPI as currently defined is a badly flawed measurement.
On the other hand, if Tennessee doesn't win the SEC, I think the final #1 will boil down to Louisville or the winner of the Big 12 if that's Baylor or WVU.
