SEC 25-26

Kentucky had no problem with Georgi’s physical play.

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

I was surprised to see that Texas is the favorite to win this tournament.

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.

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.

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

Texas and Vandy with a much easier path to the championship than the top half of the bracket.

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

Sounds like you're saying it comes down to the six SEEEven

@JstVisiting. Just when I thought we were over all that 6-7 nonsense. LOL. 😁

(ps - my granddaughter managed to get her soccer teammates to use the phrase any time they could, to take me off my coaching game and LOL at them)

 

[triaddukefan]

I hadn't seen that I was going off of Draft kings. I took SC at +130. I can't remember what Texas was.

 

[triaddukefan]

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.

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.

 

[GoChips20]

A top-10 showdown (let alone top-7) in the quarterfinals is crazy. When’s the last time a conference was as loaded as the SEC this year?

 

[JellyBean]

LSU and their darn "soft" schedule. Put up 112 on Oklahoma. Yikes!

 

[Hayven]

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…… 😱

 

[Stagnant]

UConn. We want vandy in our region as the 2 seed. Bring them on!

Does this hurt Shea does COY?

 

[JellyBean]

Coach Yo doing Coach Yo things! She always has her team hyped and ready to play. Vandy has zero answers. Let's see how the 2nd half goes.

 

[oldude]

Does this hurt Shea does COY?

It certainly doesn’t help.

 

[southie]

Glad there's no recency bias on here like there is with the NCAA committee . . . 🤣

This is obviously a really ugly line but the end result also shows that Blakes is one of the most irreplaceable players in the country to her team.

 

[GoChips20]

Somebody check Coach Yo’s Twitter

 

[Huskee11]

LSU thumping seventh ranked and projected three seed Oklahoma, plus Vandy's 17 point first half and double digit loss to Ole Miss, should mean that Vandy moves to UConn's bracket and LSU moves to UCLA's bracket, for the time being at least.

Saturday should be an exciting day, especially with LSU versus South Carolina and Ole Miss likely going up against Texas.

Blakes played much better in the 2nd half. But the damage was done and much of Blakes scoring occurred when the game was essentially over.

 

[southie]

Folks forgetting that Vandy had the head-to-head win over LSU.

Win over Texas as well. But unless the Longhorns lay an egg tonight against Bama, Vandy will be seeded behind SC, TX & LSU for the Big Dance
