***Official Game Thread*** SECT Florida vs Vanderbilt

[AugustaGator]

I think this team is capable of a trip to the Sweet 16.

I would agree they have the potential but there is something missing. Can't put my finger on it.

I think this team is capable of a trip to the Sweet 16.

Maybe in the NIT, but with our recent guard play...not a chance.

Hill is frustrating as hell but every now and then he will play decent and Allen can light it up at any time so you never know. We did win 9 straight I think at one point.

Crazy to think we are a Hill made layup from possibly being 27-5. Especially with such a bad coach :rolleyes:

Vandy has a great 3 pt game and even made some that I thought were ill-advised, but made them anyway. Meanwhile, we had several that bounced all around, in and out, but just couldn't find the bottom of the bucket. Defense was a bit frustrating, too. I don't understand bball very well, so I don't know what's on the players vs the coach. Hill makes that layup or draws a foul and we win. Instead, we play dead in OT. Ugh.

So far it looks like 10 of the top 25 have lost in their conference tourneys with more to come...

Vandy has sure wrecked our resume quite a bit.

Going by the just updated NCAA official RPI rankings (not the inaccurate ESPN one earlier) this is where we stand it appears. Georgia falling out of the top 50 hurt us also.

1-4 against the Top 25 RPI
6-8 against the top 50 RPI

Arkansas would move into the top 25 RPI with a win over Vandy and if Creighton loses to Villanova according to the calculator so if Arkansas does that 3-4 against the top 25 would look a lot better but not sure if that would be enough for them to give us a 4 seed or not depending on what other teams do.

 

[Jbossgator8]

All I know is that we are IN. Maybe we can get to the Sweet 16 depending on how the bracket breaks down and with matchups but without Egbunu we are certainly a different team. We certainly miss a big huge hulking shot blocking and rebounding presence in the middle...

 

[LeeForThree]

Just to piss us off...Vandy has 0 pts in the first 6 min vs Arkansas...and Arkansas is running on every reb lol...up 9-0

No surprise Vandy DESTROYED by Ark 76-62. Ark too strong inside for Vandy. Ark forced alot of turnovers and Vandy DID NOT have another lucky shooting game like they do against us, only shooting 30 percent for the game and 25 percent from 3 point range.

 

[CGgater]

vandy better play well in the big dance. Give us a freaking legit reason why we lost to them 3 times.
