SEC
Southeastern ConferenceSo sorry if I offend any of you this morning, but I have to type this in all caps regarding the upcoming Final Four: S-E-C, S-E-C, S-E-C!
How could this be, Selection Committee? Florida and Kentucky making up half the Final Four from a three-bid league that you snubbed so badly you crassly put two of them — UK and Tennessee — in the same Midwest Region?
What will do you next? Call an emergency reseeding meeting to force the Wildcats and Gators to meet in the semis so there’s absolutely no chance of an all-SEC final? Find a way to let your beloved ACC, Big 12 or Atlantic-10 entries have a crack at whoever ultimately wins the Final Four in Dallas? Kind of a bonus round?
One word on your eye tests, gentleman: As Charles Barkley would say — Turr-i-ble.
Yet however much Wake Forest AD Ron Wellman’s committee screwed up the seeding, if you take away the top-ranked Gators’ 10-point win over Dayton in Saturday’s South Regional final, the other three regionals couldn’t have produced much better regional finals, especially Wisconsin’s overtime win over West No. 1 Arizona and UK’s last-second triumph over Michigan.
