March 15, 201016 yr They had a couple of decent wins, but overall both had very mediocre records. Obviously, records don't mean everything (see Kentucky two seasons ago). I think it's strange that they both got in, and the seeding that Florida got. Most had them barely in or out, but they were certainly not on the bubble according to their seed.
March 15, 201016 yr I thought Mississippi State would get in over Florida, given their SEC tournament showing.
March 15, 201016 yr Author And what about Florida State? I don't see any impressive wins on their schedule. Maaaaybe Ga. Tech, but that would be the only one I see.
March 15, 201016 yr Mississipp State loses in OT to a number 2 seed of the whole bracket and goes to the NIT. Weak.
March 15, 201016 yr Mississipp State loses in OT to a number 2 seed of the whole bracket and goes to the NIT. Weak. Check the selection committee and who represented the SEC, while the other 5 "power conferences" (Big 10 & ACC who got in very questionable teams ahead of MSU) all had reps--Coincidence??
March 15, 201016 yr Mississipp State loses in OT to a number 2 seed of the whole bracket and goes to the NIT. Weak. An absolute sham. State is better than a lot of the teams in the tourney and their credentials are as good as several.
March 15, 201016 yr Check the selection committee and who represented the SEC, while the other 5 "power conferences" (Big 10 & ACC who got in very questionable teams ahead of MSU) all had reps--Coincidence?? I recall someone on this site making these points every year about the selection committee. Can't remember who though... :idunno:

March 15, 201016 yr There are a few things that leave you wondering about seeding and placement of seeds, and who got in. When you look at the entire body of work, Florida's was better. It could have simply been that Florida had a better November than did MSU. UF beat Mich State and Florida State. Mississippi State lost at home the Rider.
March 15, 201016 yr I think we can all agree that MSU has what it takes to be in the tournament but when it comes down to it, Florida has beaten better opponents. They also beat MSU, so the Dogs are to blame for their absence.
March 15, 201016 yr Wake got in over Virginia tech and Florida got in over Miss St. No big deal in my book... :idunno:
March 15, 201016 yr While there's no argument that the SEC was down this year, my argument for both Florida and Miss. St. would be that both the ACC & Big Ten were similarly off, and got 6 & 5 teams in respectively? I think MSU, especially with their SEC tourney run, could certainly compete with the Wake Forest's, Florida State's, Minnesota's, etc. that got into the tourney??
