Not a good day for the top three seeds.

Kentucky has lost three straight SEC Tournament games for the first time ever, dating back to 1933.

BaseVols beat Bama 11-3. 17 game win streak. 2nd longest in Vol history and longest active streak in NCAA baseball. I assume that's Division I but it could be overall as far as I know.

Lady Vols softball beat Missouri 9-0. Run ruled in 5 innings.

`

I agree, but the troll was talking about the regular season championship.  That absolutely means something, particularly when its not a tie.

I know. My point was that the regular season championship meant the most and the tourney means little comparatively. I could have been more clear.

Actually, unless you need to win the conference tournament to get into the NCAA's, the conference tournament means practically nothing.

As I've said before, do away with it.

It was over from the beginning.

Should I start drinking this early? 

It was terribly lucky, but you do not leave anyone uncontested in that situation. The lack of awareness on that defensive possession is really amazing.

Yea, someone should have run out there and fouled her before she even caught the ball. Letting anyone be that open is unacceptable.

That was only the second three she ever attempted and the first one to go in.

And it was a bank shot.

Sheesh. That's just good luck for one side and bad luck for the other. 

I had to go to a couples baby shower for the daughter of a good friend of mine. If I ever find the woman that invented the couples baby shower, I will harm her.

I had to follow the scores on my phone.

I figured that the men might be flat and lose. And Kentucky had been getting better the last few games.

As for the Lady Vols, based on the two previous meetings, I thought that they could keep it respectable but never imagined they would have a chance to win at the end. But when they missed the free throws and SC got the ball back, I told a friend of mine that SC would hit a three pointer at the buzzer to win it. And sure enough, it happened.

I do now have more confidence in the Lady Vols going into the NCAA tournament.

Here is a prediction from an orange glasses wearing viewpoint.

Other than the prestige, is there any real difference between the #1 and #2 seeds?

...............on Saturday's ESPN College GameDay tomorrow. (10am ET).

USC tomorrow for the 3rd time in 2 weeks....I hate conference tournaments.

Yes, they have played well for two games, but I don't think that they can stay with SC. I will note that SC didn't really look like SC today and we did hang tough in the two games we played them. But the LV's have now played two games and SC has played only one. And they are much deeper.

`

It wouldn't break my heart if they did away with the conference tournament.

 

It wasn't their prettiest effort but it was effective. SEC regular season champs.

....in softball.

The Lady Vols beat the tiglets 2-1 in 9 innings.

[Lunardi's bracket impact: Tennessee stays alive for a No. 1 seed with a huge win in Tuscaloosa, but Arizona did the Vols no favors by thumping Oregon to remain ahead and keep the spot on the top line. The Vols -- and anyone else chasing Arizona -- will need the Wildcats to lose at some point to move up. Alabama, meanwhile sits solidly as a 4-seed (No. 14 overall) but has slipped behind Kentucky (No. 13) on the seed list.]

That second angle is better. The TV coverage was showing UT fans and missed the first part of it.

[anyone]

I have several thoughts.

First, after recent events, arena security was probably being wise.

However, Alabama fans storming the field or arena after a victory over anyone is kind of sad. For them.

Finally, that's funny as shi!t.
