2022 SEC tournament predictions

He saves his job because Mizzou contractually can’t fire him without cause until May 1.

 

They might be dumber than we are

 

Or what?

 

A&M giving Auburn a run for their money.

Auburn might just be overrated. The record is what it is, but their SEC schedule was about as easy as they could have hoped for.

 

They were about 20 seconds from several more losses

 

They kind of remind me of when a new sales rep gets hired into a territory that is already set up to thrive for a year or two. They come into the territory, and they look amazing because stuff is closing left and right. Then you get to the end of year 2 or into year 3 (end of season/tournament time), and, suddenly, they aren't closing anything and don't look as good anymore.

 

Wtf?

 

When the territory is set up to thrive, you can hire any number of salespeople, and they will all enjoy success for that 1-2 year period where the territory is set up well.

Similarly, Auburn's schedule was set up for the team to thrive. You could plug any number of teams (UT, UK, Arkansas, etc.) into that schedule, and those teams would all have likely enjoyed the same success Auburn has during the regular season.

 

Oh, ok I see. A little strained but we’ll give you partial credit.

 

Not watching the game, so I could just be making assumptions, but the play-by-play is looking shady af right now.

Up by 17, A&M turnover. Auburn cuts it to 15. A&M offensive foul. Auburn cuts it to 12. A&M offensive foul. Auburn cuts it to 10.

 

?

 

Can't tell if seriously asking for an explanation or just talking shit.

I've explained the comparison well enough. If you still don't get it, that's a you thing.

 

Again, not watching, but the box score looks shady:



The lead should not be under 10 points when you're outrebounding your opponent and shooting 50% from 3, while your opponent is shooting 28% from the field and 21% from 3.

 

Green keeps making billshit 3’s.

 

Good. [uck fay] Auburn.

But I guess [uck fay] us too for not losing to Arkansas and getting the easiest path to the finals.

 

You know what, in that universe I think Auburn would win this game

 

You're probably right.

 

Ya, Auburn isn't any better than Tennessee, Kentucky, or Arkansas. That regular season "title" has an asterisk, imo.

 

Setting up perfectly for Kentucky to waltz to the title*.

*or for us to win a hard-fought rivalry showdown tomorrow and then get absolutely hammered by Arkansas or LSU on Sunday. These are the only two remaining scenarios.

 

Braves won baseball. Rams and Georgia won football. Maybe a new era could spill into SEC basketball as well.
