It doesn't benefit a team to win the SEC tournament. Playing tough game after tough game, then get a team like UCONN in your 2nd game in the NCAA tournament. Would have been better for them to lose to Tennessee and be a 2 seed.
Major Conference tournaments only benefit teams that are in need of a win or 2. They're designed for the conference to make ad revenue...which is why the B1G slates it's final on CBS to end 5 minutes before selection sunday. There's no benefit to the top 5 teams in the conference to try their hardest in the conf tournament.

Can't believe UConn is even winning this with both Solo and McNeeley playing like ass, if either one can just give them a spurt they can take this

He's going from an iowa school to another iowa school. I know UT can recruit but who knows if he could recruit the south/TX as well as UT would expect from their HC. Miller has a history of national recruiting)
Miller also under achieved a lot. Also Shaka was from Wisconsin and we recruited just fine tbh Texas mainly recruits itself especially after we got KD.

Man if the Lord could give me a UF and Duke loss today. You ask any Auburn fan, those are the two teams we're frightened of.

They got the toughest 8 you could get. Losing to Tennessee would have still had them play that game anyway. UConn as an 8 is tougher then any of the 7's this year. They could have lost the SEC semi and still been a 2. Extra day of rest
