They were underdogs in almost every game they lost and all but 1 were close

And yet they lost

That’s what happens to underdogs most of the time. What’s your point?

That the SEC sucks. What's yours?

Let more deserving underdogs be in the tournament like WV. Just because they're

OUs last 6 SEC games had 3 Q1 wins, and 3 Q1 one possession losses.

That just means Vegas knew better than the committee.

Being underdogs in Vegas is not the same thing as the committee stacking SEC

You're wildly missing the point. No one is saying the Big 12 should have got 14

Weird thing is they returned a lot of talent

Can't believe you missed the point. It's not the top end that's at issue...

Favorable seeding

The SEC was the best conference in college basketball. What are you looking for?

HRCougar

Mar 21, 10:48pm

The 14th place SEC team beat top 2 teams from 3 power conferences.

FieroCoug

Go drool over the SEC on an OU board. Enjoy yourself as much as you want there

Toubibe

Which SEC team was that?

HEY RAIN MAN - why is there a national tourney at all if the other teams can't

They’re the best conference in CBB? You’re the first to say that.

AustC04

I doubt you can find any real posts around here claiming it’s not the best this

HRCougar

Proximity to the top of the conference doesn’t make you beat the big ten champs,

You got a thumbs up from an Ole Miss fan. You should feel shame…

HRCougar

lol… you’re making the point for us. Those SEC teams shouldn’t have gotten in…

You literally just reinforced his point in the most smug way possible.

Toubibe

What does Utah have to do with Oklahoma in this argument? Relevant team is WV

NYC and Japan

Mar 21, 11:33pm

So your point is they should have only gotten 7 teams in. Hey we agree!!
