The SEC is shaping up to be a tough Conference
- Thread starter della
- Start date
Vols vs Bama is getting little respect nationally for a how big of a deal the game is. A #1 seed is likely on the line and multiple celebrities will be there. Probably Vols biggest game since 2008 Memphis
Huge game. It's gets the 3rd highest thrill score on KenPom for Saturday and honestly should probably be #2 at least. Not sure why
Kansas - T.T. is listed ahead of them
1. Auburn - KY
2. Kansas - T.T.
3. UT - Bama
4. Arizona - Iowa St
5. Mizzou - Vandy
To me personally KY-Auburn does not have a big game feel to it, no flame to Kentucky but this isn't one of their better teams they have had
Yes, easily the best matchup rankings wise. What I posted was KenPom thrill score and I am not really sure how he comes up with it because he has the UT - Bama game predicted as a closer score than the Ky - Auburn game.
probably the same way he ranks Duke #1 despite Auburn with way more quad 1 wins.
Honestly UGA just caught some serious fire the first half. We didn't defend well, but Demery and Newell were like 75% from 3 at half it was nuts. Demery especially was just hitting. Hats off to em.
A Auburn and Tennessee win tomorrow clinches an outright SEC regular season title for Auburn. So go vols and war damn eagle
Because they lost to the cocks and that's an automatic deduction of at least 5 ranking spots and a seed line....
the only reason duke is ahead of Auburn in kenpom is you inflated your effenciency score by feasting on shit competition. Didnt have a lot to do with your 6 point home win over Auburn.
Looks like Pearl is getting his excuses in order in the event UK wins...

Bruce Pearl is Preparing for Kentucky to get a "Home Whistle" at Rupp Arena
Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl is preemptively complaining about the officials before his team plays Kentucky at Rupp Arena.
Nope...just a coach being a loser and making excuses about the refs before the game.
Just for that, I hope Auburn gets absolutely screwed tomorrow...although if Bruce has been watching any UK basketball the last few years, he would know UK gets one of the worst home whistles in the SEC.
nah. your last sentence is just uk fans acting delusional like always.kentucky has routinely gotten a favorable whistle at home
Hmmmm, let's analyze Bruce's stmt a little bit deeper.
Since Pearl has been at Auburn, here are the results of the games at UK...
2015 UK wins 110-75
2017 UK wins 92-72
2019 UK wins 80-53
2020 UK wins 73-66
2023 UK wins 86-54
Bruce is right, those pesky refs and that great UK home whistle keeps allowing the Cats to absolutely blow out Auburn. Sigh.
He is not talking about just Auburn games dude. Again only kentucky fans believe the refs dont help them at home. Everyone else knows in the SEC
What?
This is Pearl's exact quote..."I’ve never gone to Kentucky where they didn’t get a good whistle."
He is specifically talking about his games there. 100%.
And UK has absolutely blown Pearl out of the water at UK, has nothing to do with a favorable whistle.
Also, go take a look at the past few years at Rupp and let me know what kind of favorable whistle UK is supposedly getting, because the foul and free throw shot discrepancy sure as heck do not back up your claim.
Just go ahead and take the loss on your posts my man. I have already proven you wrong that Pearl was in fact talking about his games only at Rupp.
I gave you all the blowout scores of Auburn's games at UK. Those darn refs letting UK continually blow Auburn out by 25+ pts at Rupp.
Oh, and I am still waiting for you to show me all this home cooking UK has gotten at Rupp the past couple years. Spoiler, the stats aren't gonna back up your claim.
