The SEC is on a collision course with SEC date

The SEC tournament will start from today In Nash Vill, where the men’s college will be crowned the largest league champion in the history of basketball..

Chasing History: The 2011 Big East fielded 11 teams in the NCAA tournament. This year’s SEC can get a maximum of 14. Yes, you read it correctly: A conference with 16 teams can deliberately send 14 of them to Big Dance.

  • Locks (9): No. 3 Uberon, No. 4 Florida, No. 5 Alabama, No. 8 Tennessee, No. 14 Texas A&M, No. 15 Kentucky, No. 21 Missouri, Oli Miss and Mississippi Estate.

  • Probably (4) in: Georgia, Wonderblat, Arkansas (“Last Four Twenty -two”) and Oklahoma (“Last Four In”) are currently likely to create a field of 68 teams, Per bracology.

  • On the bubble (1): Texas is currently included in the “First Four Out” but can play its way with a strong exhibition this week.

  • A miracle is required (2): The LSU and South Carolina, who are the league’s .500 teams, will need to win the conference tournament to get a place.

The best league so far? This year’s SEC has the best non -conference winning percentage (.889) since at least 1997, and is the second best margin of victory during this time, Per canopom.

  • They moved 32-16 against the current Canopom Top 50, including the current AP No. 1 (Duke), No. 2 (Houston), No. 6 (St. John), No. 9 (Texas Tech) and No. 10 (Clims) teams.

  • The league estimates that the total number 1 overall seeds (Ibran), six top 4 seeds and four out of four (Oberron, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee) are proud of four.

Issue with many great teams? Jeff Eisenburg of Yahoo Sports writes, the number of bids for the SEC is obliged to create a headache for the selection committee.

The more the SEC gets the bid of the NCAA tournament, it will be difficult for the selection committee to follow its braking principles. The same conference has clearly banned the opening match between the teams. Whenever possible, these matches are avoided in the period of 32 and sweetener 16.

“They will still try to avoid teams from the same conference, but the first priority is to put everyone on their real badge line,” said David Verluk, media coordinator of March madness.

Looking forward to: The success of the historic regular season does not guarantee anything in the crucifix, which is a madness. According to the intellect, the two best leagues so far sent a joint team to Elite Eight through non -conference scoring margin (1997 ACC and 2024 Big 12). If the 2025 SEC wants to stabilize its place as the best place so far, it will need to be revealed when it makes the most difference.

Lamin Yamal gave birth to Barcelona In the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday, which increasing greatness but already ready-coated large samples increased.

Yahoo Sports’ from Henry Bushl:

Lamin Yamal is 17 years old and sometimes – when he is not scoring the Champions League, or making the angel floor, or taking Barcelona to the top of La Liga – so he sees it. He still wears the bracelets of the dental. He gets his secondary school exam scores in June.

And at other times, he looks like the world’s best football player. Because even at the age of 17, it can be. This is no longer a reactionary, exaggerated claim.

It feels reluctant to wipe it because there are dozens of great players whose competitors are wide. Rodri, the ruler’s ballen is the DR winner. It is advisable, which has won the best season for someone in World Football. Here are the Kyliene Ambpi and Vanus Junior, who have been doing things like Lamin for a long time.

But Yamal, at least on this occasion, looks like a more complete player. He guides La Liga to Assist and Round Creating steps. Its progressive drilling numbers are equal to the vein. And so is his sauce. Some of his ball skills are surprised in mind. The personal list of his personal list “I fooled” is already ridiculous.

Yamil’s Spain and Barcelona partner, Gavi, said in January, “I think it has to be compared to Messi, because Messi is unique and there will be no one like that.” But then he continued: “Lamin for me, is the best today.”

⛳ Tiger is not going like this

Tiger Woods surgery On Tuesday for torn Achilles, an injury that will put all the possibilities from all four major companies this season.

Yahoo Sports’ Jay Busbi:

We are not watching Tiger Woods playing golf at any time. But if you think we will never see Tiger Woods playing golf again … think again. It will be easier to announce Woods’ career.

It will be easy… and it will be wrong. Tiger Woods is not going out like this. He will come back, one way or the other. When he leaves the game of golf, it will be on his own terms.

This does not mean that he will ever raise another trophy. Woods will certainly end the three of Jack Nickels ’18 Majors’ three Majors forever. He will almost certainly be tied to the 82 PGA tour with Sam Snd for most of the victories. And still… you will not bet your home against the forest, will you do?

Because when you think he’s out, he does the procession back to win the US Open on a broken leg, or wins the masters once more. Woods dominated his career, but he maintained it with flexibility. Think of anyone less, and you will be in the club house that signed your score card well.
