SEC 25-26

Context matters. And, based on the context, it was pretty obvious what the announcer meant.

That's if you listened to the clip. That's not something everyone does while scrolling through Twitter.
 
kind of a disappointing loss for A&M. They really have been playing better. But I think if they were going to make the ncaa tournament; they needed to go on a bit of a run here and it just didn’t happen.

This would be meaningful if Mississippi State wasn't on the bubble. The fact that they are on the bubble and have those losses is damaging to their chances.

southie said:
What about their 9-point loss to Top 10 LSU ?
Expand ...
They were competitive in THAT game. That's ONE GAME. That does not negate the three 40+ losses in which they were not competitive. Those still count, along with today's blowout loss to Florida (another double digit loss to a team that isn't going to make the field). Also, the LSU game is one of five straight losses for them. They're not playing well down the stretch.

southie said:
As I mentioned, they have 3 wins against Kentucky, Georgia, and Tennessee (all Top 25 in NET) that will probably stack up very well against other bubble teams.
Expand ...
Georgia has a net of 34. That's a Q2 win.

You're hyper focused on one criterion--good wins--while ignoring at least a half dozen criteria that paint a more realistic view of Mississippi State's chances. It's grim. They're COOKED.

southie said:
And, Miss. State had already lost once to Florida at home; so, this loss at a neutral site isn't some eye-opener as bracketologists like Creme already knew about that prior loss and it didn't stop him from including MSU in the field.
Expand ...
Charlie Creme made it clear that Mississippi State could not afford to lose to Florida or else they're likely out. Not only did they lose, they got blown out. He's mentioned since then that he believes they're out now.

Also, and I can't stress this enough, Creme does not create the bracket.
 
Ooph looks like no dancing for Mississippi State or Texas A&M. I see 10 teams max for SEC this season.

Florida improved down the stretch beating Ole Miss and Miss St ( 3 times! )

State only 5-11 in SEC. I also think WNIT next step.

Florida seems stuck in the mud. Everything promising tends to fizzle out.

Who brought the 10,000 fans? Florida or Dtate, neither of which is right next door? The other sessions weren’t half of that!
 
I was surprised to see that Texas is the favorite to win this tournament.

I'm surprised no one has made a fortune on WBB betting. Oddsmakers do not have a tight handle on the sport at all, and could probably become a sharp relatively easily with a modest bankroll.

Seeding wise an upset. But I think most people think Kentucky is a little better than Georgia.

Especially with Key back. She was out when Kentucky lost to Georgia I believe.

Texas and Vandy with a much easier path to the championship than the top half of the bracket.
 
So, one thing I always think about in these conference games and then the NCAAT games is "who is the best player on the court who dictates the game" and while watching this Florida, Oklahoma game, Liv McGill is currently that person, but Oklahoma has a very strong supporting cast that is more than off-setting the inconsistent play of Aaliyah Chavez. why or how Jennie B is allowing Chavez to keep chucking up shots vs. getting the ball to her other effective players is what is keeping Florida in this game. Chavez is 5-14 with some questionable 3 point shots.
 
Kentucky had no problem with Georgi’s physical play.

Looking forward to Bama and UT. Fan rivals in any sport.

I think that’s because they’re on the other side of the bracket from South Carolina / LSU. Vanderbilt beat Texas already so it’s no cake walk, but in tournaments I think odds tend to favor teams with depth and versatility. Vandy’s supporting cast has been very good but more than anyone else at the top they need Blakes and/or Galvan to be elite.

Because that's what she probably promised her during her recruitment. She would be "allowed to play HER game" is what Chavez stated.

Hadn't thought about it too much. South Carolina, LSU, Oklahoma and Kentucky; other half with Vanderbilt, Texas, Tennessee, and Ole Miss

That's been my goal for the past 2 months. Haven't been successful so far, but Imma keep on trying

Maybe I am overvaluing a single result in Columbia, but if you asked me to rate the risk to South Carolina of the other double bye teams, I'd go:

1. LSU
2. Texas
3. Vandy

To UConn, I'd make Texas the biggest threat and LSU the relatively smallest.

I don't know. Strong is a problem for everybody and UConn doesn't really have a second big that can hurt you that much.

So not that bad a matchup for smallish LSU. And LSU can score and put pressure on UConn's role players to keep up.

I'm not sure Texas can keep up but I guess it's possible Texas would just completely lock them up I guess.

Ole Miss putting bta, leading Vandy 49-17 at halftime. Vandy just played themselves into UConn’s region, as the overall 8th seed

Blakes also playing herself out of NPOY consideration. Her 1st half stats 0-10, 1 point from the FT line, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 1 steal, 2 turnovers, 3 personal fouls…… 😱
