SEC WBB Tournament

[DarkCock]

Thank you, Mizzou. The Tigers played the perfect game against Bama....just well enough to force Bama to play their starters almost the entire game. Hopefully that means tired legs for the Tide tomorrow against us.

Mississippi St lost, again. Will State make the tournament? They lost 7 out of their last 9. State caught a break when the Tennessee and Ole Miss games were cancelled. Don't think they would have won those games.

 

[Neanderthal]

I don’t see how Miss. State makes it with the poor finish. Would have if the tournament was a month ago.

I think we win handily if we make layups and if we limit our turnovers. We need to make good passes as we try to get the ball inside to Boston,. The team that has played one game in the tournament sometimes has gotten their feet under themselves and has some level of confort to the tournament.conditions

 

[Gamekem]

I hope we start out strong and with a comfortable lead so we can rest some players for later.

If we have to make layups and reduce turnovers, we won't last long in the tournament. We haven't done it all year and it has bit us in the ass all year when the talent level was fairly equal. AS we go through the big tournament, we will face more teams with a talent level close to ours.

Dawn sounded pretty confident and relaxed on Finebaum yesterday - said in effect they had not played their
best basketball yet - team knows what they need to do to play better. They want the title and I suspect
A&M.Tennessee - if they can get them.

 

[Milks26]

Is anyone attending the tourney in Greenville? It's killing me that I can't attend.

The ladies can beat Bama but, I still see them being plagued by all their issues for as long as they last in the tournament.

Nice to see Ole Miss stop Arkansas. But, without Austin they ain't getting nothing done. Freshman of the Yr has been a dud lately

 

[DarkCock]

Arkansas beats Baylor and UCONN and goes 9-7 against the SEC. Interesting.

Not really. Except for their 2019 run if you look at their overall body of work they always fall apart in SEC conf play

Kentucky falls to Georgia. Not surprised about that at all.

If you look at who is going to be on the downside the next couple of years, let's look ahead:

UGA loaded with Seniors this year.
MSU is on the way down.
Imagine UK without Rhyne Howard...they would be at or close to the bottom with Auburn.
TX A&M is losing their best player after this year.
LSU didn't do well this year and was all but Seniors in the starting lineup...
Arky is going to be hurting without those 2 outstanding guards after this year...

I think since most of our stars are Sophomores and with the #1 recruiting class coming in, Carolina is going to be a beast to beat the next 2 years and beyond.

There's a lot of quality seniors in the conference this year. As a whole, the conference will be down next season.

Ole Miss is trending up. They only lose one senior. But, you're right, most teams will be trending down.

 

[Gamekem]

Ole Miss with an 8 point lead going into the 4th quarter against Tennessee. It looks like whoever wins we will likely have a tough opponent.

Austen hurt her back and Ole Miss was never the same after that.

Yeah it was really disappointing, my respect for Austin increased a lot after this game. She was trying to fight off the pain for the team. She reminds a lot of mad Kiki with energy for the team. Coach Yo and Ole Miss will be a contender next year for the conference.

 

[Milks26]

Yeah, I like her

Compared to how they were last year Ole Miss should be proud of their run albeit, it was on the back of one player. That's why Kentucky will always fail.

 

[DarkCock]

A&M down 5 with 35 seconds to go.

 

[Milks26]

Yeah baby!! GA on a nice run in the SEC. They're 2019 Arkansas.


Rhetorical - but, how did we lose Texas A&M again?

 

[Milks26]

GA 74 - Texas A&M 68

It's getting interesting in Greenville

 

[gamecockblack]

Wow! Didn't see that coming. Its anybody's tournament to win now. South Carolina needs to take advantage of A&M being knocked out & handle business vs the lady vols today.

 

[DarkCock]

A&M played Georgia, USC & Tennessee at home this season. The Aggies deserved the top seed, but they were beatable. Great defensive effort by UGA.

 

[Gamekem]

Georgia definitely deserved to win that one, they weren't playing around and will be tough for whoever plays them, hopefully it us.

 

[Milks26]

GA always play tough defense.

They're good starts against both Kentucky and Texas A&M helped them. As it did us against Bama.

 

[DarkCock]

We outrebounded UT by 11. In Knoxville the teams were even on the boards.

Every team that has beaten USC has kept the rebound differential with single digits

So rebounding will be key today, especially for a excellent defensive team like UGA. All their defensive effort is for naught, if they give up an offensive rebound and easy putback.

Wasn’t that th same scenario when we won the national championship, Mississippi State beat UConn in the semis and we beat MSU to win the championship

 

[Horseshoe 04]

Do we have room for another trophy ?

 

[slickchick22]

Always
