SEC tied for 5th in bids

[Coach34]

weak conference as I have said repeatedly

Got to schedule better, as I have said repeatedly

And can't lose to **** teams when you play a weakass schedule


Got to change some things

Simply no justification for that, none.

 

[wbc40]

I highly, highly doubt it.

 

[Coach34]

Fla played 11 games vs the top 50...beat Michigan State..plays in the tougher half of the conference

They have repeatedly said the Tourney doesnt count as much

We have to start scheduling better in November and December

 

[SheltonChoked]

Too bad that would have done **** for us.

 

[wbc40]

I just don't see how they get a 10 seed. It just burns me up that before the conference tourney started, ESPN had the Florida-State matchup as a "potential play-in game" for the Big Dance, then we go on to beat Vandy and play UK to the wire aGAIN and come up empty-handed. Such is life I guess.

But yeah, this is as much on Byrne's scheduling as it is on our team. Replace 3 pasties with 3 top 50 RPI teams and maybe we go 1-2 against them instead of going 1-2 against the pasties.

Tell UCLA they should get a good coach (when I say "good", I mean by coach34 standards). Our schedule was fine in the preseason, but only looks bad now.
Coach34, maybe you should call Byrne and share your expertise. I'm sure he'll appreciate it.

We need to schedule better, we played Fla, Vandy, Richmond, Kentucky, ODU, and Houston. Beat all except for OT loss to Richmond and Kentucky. Refs took both Kentucky games. Also we scheduled UCLA at California, any other year that wouldnt have hurt us and we played in the Big East challenge and had to play Depaul. THe rider loss was bad, but my god that was the first game of the year

For one a SOS of 115 or wherever it ended up sticks out like a sore thumb come selection time no matter who we beat.

Second and more importantly to me, we are a hell of a team when we play inspired ball, and 2-3 big non-conference matchups would be easy to get up for. Even though UCLA was down this year, you could clearly see that our team was thrilled about playing in Cali against a team like that. That was probably the best they played all year prior to SEC play. However, when we schedule the weak guys, we seem to have an extremely difficult time getting up for them, and we tend to get ourselves in positions where we can drop a few of them. It's just human nature to take those games for granted and doing that cost us dearly this year.
