Right? We should just call it a season and get started on next year
This is such a low effort post. We made a final four due to having a path with good matchups and the team we didn’t matchup with lost to Clemson. It could happen again. People can be knowledgeable basketball fans and joke about our limitations without giving up on the season.
Are you season ticket holder? Will you be there Saturday or traveling to support the team during the NCAA? If not, maybe you are the one that gave up on the season. If we play a 1 seed in the NCAAT this year, I’ll likely be there cheering us on in person regardless of whether we have a roster that can win or not. Some people are fair weather fans and don’t understand the game…they typically say things like “call it a season” and other nonsense like it.

Not sure who your dealer is, but they must be giving you some “good stuff.”
We would be lucky to keep it single digits if we played them at home, with Bediako available, and after we had plenty of rest/prep. Beating them in our 3rd game in 3 days on a neutral court with their front court depth compared to ours is nothing short of a hallucination.

I hear you, but Oats is managing practices for health/injuries now as well. He indicated we didn’t practice on Sunday and only a light practice yesterday due to the turnaround. Very different than playing 3 consecutive games.

Guard play is so important in the dance. It’s hard to replace the 3 NBA guards off last season.i don’t exactly trust these guards against more aggressive teams. Also can they hit 3s. That’s a weakness that shows up in crunch time.
This. Unless FL’s guards play above their head for 4 games in a row, they’re probably going to run into an AZ, Mich, Duke, UConn, Houston, or Purdue that can hold their own down low while out playing their guards.

Probably the most disappointing thing about tonight’s loss is we are getting some of the help we needed for the 3 seed. TT lost at home to TCU, Kansas was down double digits on the road to ASU (still early), and Nebraska is a small underdog on the road to UCLA tonight.
Winning 12 SEC games in a row was too much to ask for this team though. Glad to be in a good position to get a top 4 seed again.

Surely you see the difference in having your only serviceable big man practice vs. playing 30+ minutes 3 games in a row while playing a tempo that is ranked 4th out of over 330 teams, right?

If we have a chance to win (ie FL is upset before Sunday), then I agree. But I’m more worried about Sherrell’s health trying to play as much as we’d need him to in order to win…3 days in a row.
Us playing FL on Sunday with Sherrell playing his 3rd straight game in 3 days seems like a recipe for something bad to happen.
ETA: give me a healthy and rested Sherrell ready to play 30+ minutes in the first weekend of the NCAAT instead

According to Gemini, since the tourney expanded to 68 teams in 2011, 33 of 56 #1 seeds won their conference tournaments (ie. only 59%).
Your statement is somewhat biased as clearly the top 1 or 2 teams each year typically are able to run through their conference tournaments, especially in a weak conference (see Duke’s ACC win last year…the ACC was historically bad). We are not the top 2 teams in the country with a relatively easy path to win our conference tournament. So the theory of it being better to rest than playing 3 games in 3 days and follow that up with 2 games in 3 days the next weekend still holds. As I’ve said, blue blood fans have been saying this for years.

I have yet to see hard evidence that winning conference tournaments has any real ill impact on quality teams
The only #1 seeds to lose their opening round game in the history of the NCAAT both won their conference tournaments (and both were double champions winning the regular season and conference tournaments).

Ish….didnt Duke sit Cooper Flag for the ACCT to get him ready for NCAAT? No one goes out and throws a game, but you can tell in certain games where the effort is about 80% and “if they win, they win”
ETA: said another way, I’ve seen teams win their first game and then play AAU or NBA all star type games the next day. Once you are locked in to playing the final, you might as well play to win at that point. I just don’t like playing a Sunday game that we can’t win on our best night

How much rest do you need before it's rust? Playing on Sunday and then playing a game, at the earliest, 4 days later should be good to go
It’s been widely discussed by the blue bloods how much winning 3-4 games in a row takes emotionally and physically. Can often lead to fatigue playing 2 more games in 3 days, especially if you play the Thursday game.
FL looked fatigued almost every game in the NCAAT and definitely weren’t playing their best ball of the season (they trailed significantly in almost every game), but they were just that much better than everyone else. The won a NC playing their B+ game.

You think we beat Az in a rematch? And UConn is one of the best rebounding teams in the country…would probably be a disaster for us.

Honestly, since we’re probably locked into a 4 with a win on Sat, I wouldn’t hate a Friday or Saturday exit from the SECT (assuming Florida doesn’t get upset). I don’t really want us playing FL on Sunday and using a ton of energy trying to win that only to lose by double digits and not be rested for the NCAAT.

Yeah, not a huge concern other than likely takes away the 3 seed. If we win the next 3 and get a lot of help, maybe…but we’re likely a 4 now.

Wrightsell missing back to back wide open 3s probably sealed it. I wasn’t expecting us to win this, but the lack of defense and rebounding is a very concerning issue.
Our win streak was awesome, but we barely survived Arky and UT due to those. We’re at risk of getting bounced in the 1st weekend if we have a relatively cold shooting night. Other teams can survive that, we cannot.

Interesting strategy to just keep letting their hottest player shoot open 3s

Missed a lot of wide open looks tonight though and has struggled with his assignment on defense...granted I will take all of that back if he will go back to back 3s here
He’s 1-4 so needs to hit the next one, but he’s got the same number of offensive rebounds as our 1st and 2nd team front court combined (Sherrell, Allen, Bol Bowen, Williamson)
