Fourteen SEC teams in one NCAA? Talk about a septic tank! Texas was a First Four flush. Missouri hated the Drake. Georgia got overrun, torched and sent off howling by William Gonzaga Sherman. Mississippi State had to Baylor out. Vandy was no dandy. Okla went homa. Ole Miss almost really did. Even Big Bad Bama got scared by Little Bobby Morris.

And all that mess was just their 8-6 first round, while the Big Ten was going 8-0.

So much for “SEC dominance,” hyped ad nauseum all year. Besides, a major share of the SEC’s current superstructure was built on the shoulders of immense immigrants, the best of whom arrived fully developed from inside the grand ole Big Ten.

Standing tallest was the Nigerian Disconnection, as Rutgers star center Clifford Omoruyi was nabbed by Alabama while Ohio State’s Felix Okpara got hijacked by Tennessee, each taking a veteran post presence while killing their former teams, otherwise laden with star guards.

Texas A&M adopted a big Pharrel cat for its third-leading scorer, go-pher-ing Payne out of his Minnesota homeland, while C.J. Wilcher gave the Aggies a steady Nebraska farm hand. Missouri’s rise from the Misery of a winless SEC season got a lift from Iowa floor general Tony Perkins, an Indy native who became their No. 5 scorer, joining iu castaway and No. 3 scorer Tamar Bates.

And veteran A.J. Hoggard left the green-space security of the Izzone to raise the house that Vander bilt as one of 10 transfers there. No place to be a ball Hogg.

The SEC office belongs on Wall Street, if not Ellis Island. And that inflated junk stock league owes our Big exporters a nice Big tariff.

I wouldn't celebrate too quickly. Some of the more marginal SEC teams are out, but all the heavy hitters are still going. The SEC could still end up multiple Final Four teams.

Agreed, the SEC does have two very strong contenders, but that conference as a whole has proven it was one big bag of wind. No way on earth the SEC deserved 14 freakin’ bids. Those six one-and-done losers are back home where they belonged.

Meanwhile the Big Ten’s 8-0 first round set an NCAA record, so that’s always worth celebrating.

ACC getting waxed and the b10 showing validates iu argument for sure. That would have gotten 9 teams in. We have a great shot at representing a forth or more of the sweet 16. The games will play out but imo b10 doesnt have the top end teams like florida or auburn. I do agree the sec was a little over hyped and the b10 a little undervalued but in the end sec is still a better conference this year.

Yes, Too many SEC teams in.

Bottom line if I had to bet on which conference gets one of there top teams to the FF, I would bet the SEC over the B10......not because of number of teams but because of quality @ the top.

Who knows maybe both conferences get a team to the FF? Because both are great conferences.

I get what you're saying, but I've never really bought the argument that losing in the R64 necessarily means teams don't belong, especially when those teams are in the 7/8/9/10 range. I mean, half the field is going to lose in the opening round no matter who you put in.

The difference between the B1G and the SEC is that all 8 B1G teams were in the top 24 seeds. I suspect we'll see the SEC heavy weights start to flex their muscles in the next few rounds. If not, there will be a torrent of criticism.

Now, the ACC... Yikes!

Exactly, let's see what the E8 looks like and celebrate if 6 of 8 are B10 teams.

A&M now out, the first major loss for the SEC.

And, Auburn is down to Creighton at halftime. Could be a momentary hiccup. Or, maybe the SEC really was overhyped.
