SEC 25-26

[cancontent]

So, Kentucky’s biggest tournament win came today against 16th seed Arkansas.

I guess Their 2022 SEC championship game win over eventual national champion SCar falls to number 2 on their list. Okay.

I took biggest to mean point differential. It was 30 (not 50 my bad) points wasn't it?

That's exactly what they meant. It was pretty obvious.

Not always. Biggest can be interpreted as most impactful/significant. The word has been used in that manner for important games. I can see how one could see it the other way.

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

They're out. They got blown out by a Florida team that's not going to make the field.

The eye test is a criterion that the committee uses in their selections. So is "competitive in losses". When you consider that Mississippi State is 3-12 in Q1/Q2 games and is currently on a five-game losing streak...

You could be right. But, you state "competitive losses" and are only using today's loss against Florida to make your point. I'm sure they have other losses where they weren't competitive (like at Texas recently), but you will find that to be the case for just about every bubble team. And, Florida actually has a NET of 50, so it's not like MSU lost to some team with a NET in the 100-200 range.

The committee will compare MSU's resume' to other bubble teams; the loss today won't be the only factor, although it could end up being detrimental.

Brooks is certainly an acquired taste

How far away is this from from telling Paige she'd be the only UConn leader without a title?

It's been a really interesting year for SEC coaches.

I don't think that most bubble teams have a 48-point loss, a 43-point loss, and a 50-point loss, let alone a near 20-point loss (and the game wasn't even this close) during the first round of a conference tournament to a team that isn't going to make the field. Mississippi State is unique in that regard.

Never said that Florida had a poor NET. I said that they aren't going to make the field. They're not even a bubble team.

The committee will compare Mississippi State's resume to other bubble teams. What the committee will find is that Mississippi State does not have much of a resume to speak of.

2-9 in Q1 games (3-12 Q1/Q2)
39 NET
3-7 in last 10 games (lost five straight)
18-13 (5-11 SEC)
0.10 WAB (not a typo)
308 nonconference SOS

That's why they're going to be left out.

Strack's response was "That's OK your the worst D1 Coach I've ever played for too". 😁

Survive and advance...

You're kind of selective with your facts, and seem to leave out important data purposely. Those 40+ point losses were to Texas, South Carolina, and Oklahoma all on the road; two of those are Top 5 teams, and the other is a Top 12 team

What about their 9-point loss to Top 10 LSU ? 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.

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.

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.

What about their 9-point loss to Top 10 LSU ?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I had no idea . . .
