SEC Men’s Basketball 2024-2025: Somebody has to be the 16th seed in Nashville

I’m lazy as it pertains to Rick Barnes, but it seems like this is typical shit with his team. I know they went to the Elite 8 last year, but it just seems like they mostly wind up being better in early January than any time in March. 

Watching the ATM/OU game, does anyone know why the aggies are in pink in January? I thought the pink shit was for Mother’s Day weekend and October. I know it’s related to breast cancer, just seems like an odd time.

they’ve been playing over their heads all year. it’s what he does. they have no nba talent, their best player is a midget who can’t shoot, they have no depth, and it’s basically a roster full of role players, and yet he had them at no.1 for a month, has them currently at 17-4, and they’re probably the best defensive team in america.

rick barnes’s entire reputation is based on people who either never watch his teams and know nothing about them, or who do watch and don’t understand why/how a roster that isn’t that great to begin with starts losing more games in conference play. i’ve been saying all season that i can’t believe they’ve won as much as they have. our roster >> tennessee’s roster.

 Breast cancer awareness month is in October, but the season hasn’t started.

Most teams in both men’s and women’s usually start the pink around this time for a few weeks. It’s been the standard around this time for at least a decade if not more. What’s throwing you off is the A&M jerseys. You usually don’t see a men’s team do pink on the jerseys like you do the women. Men usually do something small like the refs usually do pink whistles or lanyards and men do pink towels, shoelaces, or headbands. 

There was a try to get the men’s to switch to doing prostate cancer awareness instead of breast cancer, but it never took off.

I know Tennessee is only like 7 or 8 deep, and I watch plenty of basketball, but it just feels like they’re a first weekend special this season. Whoever they’re playing in the round of 32, I’m taking the other team in my bracket. Unless it’s Texas or ATM, of course.

yeah i do not like this tennessee team in the tourney. i’d be very surprised if they made the second weekend.

ZZ is the kind of college hoops star that has become more and more rare over the years. a star who will always be associated with the college game + only one school. easiest guy to root for in all of cbb for me.
