Dude definitely needs a stylistWhat do you think Dane Miller told his barber in order to receive that haircut in his profile pic? “Ill have the Lloyd Christmas, please”
I don’t know if there was a conspiracy, but as I noted before, the SEC historically under-performs in the tournament and I would not be surprised if that proves to be the case again this year.
After looking at the match-ups, I could easily see half the SEC teams in the field doing a one-and-out, unfortunately including Ole Miss.
did you just say "historically"?I don’t know if there was a conspiracy, but as I noted before, the SEC historically under-performs in the tournament and I would not be surprised if that proves to be the case again this year.

The one and out narrative as you describe is a convenient argument for people with agendas who go with emotions and not with math. Half the SEC teams in the field have a NET of 28 or below or KenPom of 26 or below. So a standard deviation and tiering system would put them at or near other teams in the 6 - 11 seed lines and those losses are just part of a tournament. This is the problem when people try to make this about precision and not accuracy. This is an attempt embedded with human components to get the best 50 or so teams in the tournament after considering auto bids. If someone wants to beat the precise drum, then every team underperforms who doesn't beat their opponent seeded below them all the way from 1 on down. By your math, what is meeting expectations or "overperforming" on a more cumulative basis which is really the only "fair" way to look at this? 6 teams in the Sweet 16? 4 teams in Elite 8? 2 teams in Final Four? A national champion?I don’t know if there was a conspiracy, but as I noted before, the SEC historically under-performs in the tournament and I would not be surprised if that proves to be the case again this year.

He’s got that bar code haircut.What do you think Dane Miller told his barber in order to receive that haircut in his profile pic? “Ill have the Lloyd Christmas, please”
I agree. It’s quite possible 7-8 teams go down in the opening round and the media makes a big deal about it only to have to eat crow when we still have 4 in the Elite Eight.The one and out narrative as you describe is a convenient argument for people with agendas who go with emotions and not with math.

I’m not sure it’s the South, so much as we are effing obnoxious with our “It Just Means More” and our “SEC!” Chants.They hate them some south. We a bunch of red necks that don’t wear shoes and shit in the yard. Just smile and wave.
Dude goes to Ray Charles for haircuts.
He’s 100% right. The league deserved 12 bids.Guy saw an opportunity to say some bullshit for clout. It worked.
You’ve never been a fan of the Sagarin Ratings…have you?!? That’s really too bad.He’s 100% right. The league deserved 12 bids.
ShockerI don’t know if there was a conspiracy, but as I noted before, the SEC historically under-performs in the tournament and I would not be surprised if that proves to be the case again this year.
