How'd that work out?

Seems to me the ACC has more teams in the S16 than the SEC had in R64... and most of those teams got there on chalk... dumbass.

Other conferences with more S16 teams than the SEC: B12, B1G, PAC.

In fact, half the 16 are from the ACC and the PAC (man, who woulda thunk it? You know, what with them being the 2 best basketball conferences on a near-yearly basis).

So, of the "Power 5" conferences (does that still apply in hoops, since the Big East and Missouri Valley are better hoops conferences than the SEC?), looks like the SECSECSEC! finished about...

dead last in the postseason.

And before you morons start laying skidmarks in reverse... save it. You looked dumb when you were posting this dumbfuckery, and nothing you do to try and backpedal is going to make you look any less dumb now.

I'll get as crazy as I want.

I'll have you know -- I entered one bracket contest. It was an afterthought when I got an email from a website that I contract through (this particular site, I have received exactly zero work through), telling me I had less than 24 hours to join their contest (which was only for members of that site, but run through ESPN). I still didn't care, until I saw that 1st place paid $250 (pays 3 spots, and it was a free entry).

So, I spent the 5 minutes to fill one out. About 300 other members did, as well.

After the first week of this ~300 person bracket contest, Yours Truly sits in... wait for it...

FIRST, BITCHES!!!!!

And looking at the brackets for the others that are high in the scores, my bracket looks better than theirs, with one big IF -- I have Zona beating Kentucky. Figured I needed an unexpected win to take it all. But if the next 2 rounds go well, I may not even need it -- I didn't put Villanova in my FF, like so many did.

Sorry if I'm feeling a bit cocky -- good chance that will end over the next few days.

Arizona usually shits the bed.
They don't win the championship every year, so that means they "shit the bed"? Do you apply the same logic to Michigan State, whose last championship was very shortly after Zona's?

Duke? They "usually shit the bed" almost every season.

UCLA is a joke.
If having 2 losing seasons in 60 freaking years, and 3 Final Fours in the last 10 is a "joke," then I'm not really seeing the funny.

If this was an attempt to try to undo the stupid from your previous SECBSH posts, it was an epic fail.

Sudden Sam wrote:The B1G is a much better conference than the PAC12.
That must be why the B1G has 2 teams in the 16, and the PAC has 3, right?

UCLA is a joke...this year. This team isn't very good.

Uhm, they're in the 16, dumbass.


Man, you're really going out of your way to sound stupid. Dude, you're from Alabama -- you don't need to put this much effort into it. It comes naturally to you people, so just let it flow.


And I trust this means we'll never have to listen to you and your ilk's incessant "SCOREBOARD" chants come football season, since it seems to mean nothing to you at the moment?

Sudden Sam wrote:So UCLA beating SMU on a bad call
Man, it just keeps getting worse.

Did you watch the game? Or at least see the replay?

Apparently, you learned the rules of basketball in the same place you learned math and logic.

There was only one possible call to make there, and it was the one the refs made. So it was kind of the polar opposite of a "bad call." It was the ONLY CALL.

Sudden Sam wrote: Making the Sweet Sixteen doesn't mean they're one of the best 16 teams in the country.

Sheesh.

In this particular case, it means they had an incredibly easy path to the SS.
So, you're saying the same thing about Kentucky, right? I mean, all they had to do was roll through that pathetic league.


SECNology -- Iowa State was awesome when an SEC bottom-feeder beat them. Which means UAB is super-mega awesome... until UCLA beats them, so obviously they suck. And SCOREBOARD applies to football, but not basketball.

Are you trying to draw a giant dick over the hoops landscape with this meandering train of "logic"?

Here, I'll try and help you out:
Sudden Sam SHOULD HAVE wrote:The SEC was a joke

Alabama sucks

ISU sucks

UCLA got MUCH better as the season went on, playing in a very strong conference

Arizona may well be the best team in the entire field, and may well knock off Kentucky

The B1G has a couple of real contenders

My trolljob sucks

Sudden Sam wrote:
The call in the UCLA-SMU game was incorrect. Everyone recognizes that. The ball has to have a chance of going in the basket for a goaltending call to be made. It didn't. Bad call.
By "everyone," you mean "no one who knows what the fuck they're talking about," right?

The rules give the officials leeway if a ball is clearly not going in. And if any of the officials was watching the overhead cam, rather than the live action, that might have been the case. Unless they can clearly see, beyond doubt, that the ball isn't going in, and any part of the ball is in the cylinder, and a player touches the ball, it's goaltending/basket interference... not up for debate.

It was, beyond any doubt, the correct call.

And I'd say making it to the 16 is definitely "showing something."

Sudden Sam wrote:I'd say a prominent program being down 41-7 at the half is showing something, too.

You do realize that game was played a long time ago... right ?

As a matter of fact: It was played last year.


If you want to play that game... Cal absolutely CRUSHED Syracuse in New York (73-59). That's right, 3,000 miles away in New York.

Yeah, that Syracuse team... that TORCHED... "Sweet 16 teams" (Louisville and Notre Dame).


That being said, Cal also beat UCLA, Oregon, and led for most of the 1st half against the team that is going to beat Kentucky (Arizona) during the PAC 12 tourney.

Yet, Cal didn't get into the tourney... let alone the NIT ??? (east coast bias)


That's how tough the PAC is... and why fUCLA got better during the season.

Might have had something to do with finishing barely above .500 and losing 6 of their last 8.

Paul Bryant, Jr. is trying to shut down basketball.

It interferes with football recruiting season.
