For teams that are going to make the tournament, the conference tournaments are usually pointless, especially for the shoe in top eight teams like some I’ve already pointed out. The rest have to fight human nature and not come out flat against the bottom feeders of the conference that are fighting for their lives. The SEC tournament in my opinion sways a bit differently than other conferences just because how the committee and overall country views the quality of teams. The committee seeing a struggling LSU or Vanderbilt do good in the SEC tournament will move the needle for those teams more than it would a Texas team with 8 Q4 losses and in a conference that is severely down. At a minimum, I would have liked to see this team get one or two wins for confidence. Even if it’s not going to change the committees viewpoint on our destination, this team needs all the wins and momentum they can get going into the tournament.
