Re: No ky
Seems that they really hated those 13-17 conference records (the chair basically said so on TV). I don't think that's fair at all because someone needs to finish under .500 even if every team in a conference is tournament-worthy.BWestbrook wrote:And A&M is a three, tough bracket with A&M as a three.

Re: No ky
It boils down to a crappy schedule, three straight losses to us, and getting booted from the SEC Tourney early. From what I saw, I wasn't impressed.ANCHORDOWN1 wrote:Seems that they really hated those 13-17 conference records (the chair basically said so on TV).

Re: No ky
Their schedule was 25th in the country, and they had 16 top 50 RPI wins, including series wins against Texas Tech, Auburn (who swept Vandy), and Georgia. And they also swept the Shriner's Classic, something Vandy couldn't do. Using conference record sucks for SEC teams, as mathematically, the conference record for all 14 teams has to end up at .500. This will leave out some good teams for the sake of keeping the SEC/ACC from overwhelming the tournament with numbers.commadore wrote:It boils down to a crappy schedule, three straight losses to us, and getting booted from the SEC Tourney early.

Re: No ky
I think they should have gotten in -
but 13-17 is not a great conference record - and they were 13-18 including the tourney game.
They also closed out losing 5 of 6 too. It was probably a perfect storm for them with so many other SEC teams in. Still, they won a lot of games - and played a lot of good teams.

Re: No ky
KY had a good team, but they had some injuries and really faded down the stretch. They were 5-5 in conference series, and I thought they deserved the nod over TAM who went 3-7 on weekend series, but TAM jumped them in the SEC tourney by winning three over teams that were solidly in.
