The SEC can't be that great if that UGA team won 10 games. Ole Miss beating Texas and them will be shrugged off by ESPN as how "deep" the SEC is but Ole Miss is terrible. One of the laziest teams I've watched this year too. Texas and UGA are just mediocre. Same with Texas A&M Kentucky and Missouri. Having a bunch of mediocre average teams doesn't make a conference deep

That would be swell. Maybe Georgetown can get some old school revenge on Nova tomorrow as well. We'll take anything we can get at this point.

Complete opposite ends of bad. Ole Miss plays lazy with lack of effort and UGA plays with out of control energy

I think Ohio State will be in the dreaded 8/9 game if you win that 1st round game it will mean a 2nd round game vs one of Duke, Arizona or Florida (since they can't play Michigan in the 2nd round)

Ohio State remained at 26 in the KenPom ratings after today's game. The net rating went up a bit, but still 1 spot behind Iowa, who we just beat. We will see where we end up after all the games have been played.
It was interesting to hear the BTN / Fox Sports crew harp on Ohio State finally moving up to be a #9 seed. That's not how we at ESPN, your worldwide leader in sports, would treat a similarly situated SEC team. We'd have moved them up to a #5 seed.

Well considering after the beat down at home vs Michigan and then again at Iowa things were looking bleak just to get a tournament bid things have really turned around. From likely not making the tournament to firmly in and not even in Dayton is a pretty great last 3 weeks.

Finally things broke OSU's way after years of things going the wrong direction after New Year's Day. This is the rare year that it looked like they weren't going to be good enough in November and December but they grew into a competitive team through conference play. It used to be OSU's only tourney hopes hinged on a run in the B1G tourney (sometimes BTT championship was needed), at least now they aren't going to miss it because of a tough draw. Hopefully this is a sign things are finally on the right track moving forward.

I've been one of Diebler's biggest "haters" on here but even I can admit that this is a positive step forward. He got the team to actually get better down the stretch when they really needed to. That's something Holtmann never did.
Now of course things have to keep improving going forward but how things have gone down the home stretch this season are encouraging.
