We were seeded a whole lot lower in 1986 and made it to the Final Four that year, so I have no issues with the seeding at #8.

Quit ya bitchin' and just hope they play lights out. Getting the opportunity to beat UM early is good. It doesnt matter the seating, the deserving will get to the FF.

Who cares? What's behind you is not important. It's always "what's ahead of you and how you handle it" that is.

"The" no. 8 seed? Nah they're "an" 8 seed. The no. 29 seed in the tournament.

Exactly, title is misleading

eddieray•37 months

I predict our fans won’t be happy with the seeding. How did I do?

texastigerr•37 months

And we have wins against both TN and Florida.

DeafVallyBatnR•37 months

No we don't

BobABooey•37 months

In a historical sense, you are correct. I got yer back.

AugustaTiger•37 months

In the same bracket at Bama. Would love to take them out

Swamp Angel•37 months

We lost to Kentucky 3 times in '86, but ruined their already assumed trip to the Final Four courtesy of Ricky Blanton. I'd kinda like to do the same thing to Bama this year.

TeTiger•37 months

frick it. Handle business from here on out!!

AugustaTiger•37 months

Horse shite!

pxrona•37 months

No way in hell they can justify Tennessee at 5 and Florida 7 and LSU behind them at 8. This all because of the Wade cloud hanging over their head.

LSUTheodore•37 months

So Florida is a 7 and Tennessee is a 5? LSU finished in front of both of these teams in the SEC! Someone explain this please! I’m gone pecan!

Deplorable Duke•37 months

It’s par for the course. You reap what you sow, Will Wade.

Shut up, idiot.
