Better to lose?

Single elimination here only costs us 1 loss. If we come back to win and then go on to lose 2, that hurts more.

Sorta like one step forward, two steps back.

It's never better to lose a game. But the fact it's even a consideration is a strong indication the SEC tournament format is FUBAR.

Yes, we don’t have enough to win this format but

We can win eithe format going forward.

I don't know how committees look at these things, but we would net the same results.

Win tonight and our first loss tomorrow just gets us back to even. The second loss gives us one extra loss....same as now.

Again I don't know how total loses figure into the committee seeding, so I am not suggesting it would have been better

But it feels like you should all ways go for the extra change to keep winning. Worse case if you win tonight, your winnings percentage can't go down

We wouldn't host even if we won the tournament so I prefer the extra rest.
