This is from the headlines on X. Pay note to the last paragraph about where the AI generated synopsis gets its information.

I haven't watched every SEC game. I've kept the stat box open up just watching scores; watched games here and there.

Right now Mizzou is 25 and UK is under 27 percent from the arc. Every early team, so far, has had trouble shooting 3's early on.

It's even worse in the early games today.

Doubt anyone is watching but OU is playing at a really high level lately. Up 22-21 on Arkansas.

Acuff is unreal

Based on the score, looks like Vandy just
Opened a can of whoopass on Florida. 62-44 with 12 to go. Maybe Florida is following our game plan to get a loss out of the way before the dance.

 

[TerryP]

Are we seeing the guard issues that were a problem with Florida in the OOC season start to rear their ugly heads again?

11:44 to play, UF down by 19.

Feel like it was only a matter of time before something like this happened to UF. Playing too well. Eventually you run into a team that is just 'on' and also has the matchups inside to disrupt your game plan. I still think UF should be a #1 seed.

What a hire by Vandy too. Byington's trajectory is just too good right now. Hope we can get the forwards next season Vandy has.

Byington calls into the local radio show one afternoon each week. He’s a good listen. Doesn’t take himself too serious. Gives credit to other teams often. Very likable guy.

Vandy-Arkansas tomorrow. My only interest in this game is just to hopefully see Vandy win it. Arkansas fans are the most delusional bunch in the SEC

Arkansas runs aways from Vandy, claims second SEC Championship - Southeastern Conference

Darius Acuff lives up to the hype, recording 30 points and 11 assists while Trevon Brazile puts away the 'Dores with 16 points on four threes as the Hogs claim the SEC title, 86-75.

I guess I am a good luck charm for Arkansas. The game was tied up around the 3:00 minute mark when I turned it on and Arkansas went on a 12-0 run....

My biggest shock of the day? This was only the second time UArk has won the SECT. I would have thought, no, I did think that Nolan won more than one in his time in Fayetteville.

They had some epic battles but it was still mostly the Kentucky Invitational back then.

Oh yeah. It's not that Nolan's teams didn't make the finals, it was they had only won it once: that surprised me.

Nolan and his time in Fayetteville was marked, repeatedly, with different controversies. I can't say I "liked him" as an opposing coach. But, he's one guy that in spite of my feelings I respected the way his teams played basketball; far more than most.
