I think Tyler Smith is easily better than Nick Calathes and maybe even JP Prince is better.

That said Calathes does more to help his team win than any Gator since Corey Brewer.

John,

Personally I think the regular-season championship means more. The reason that a post-season tournament is held is simply more TV money for the conference.

correction. I meant Robert Morris, not Sacred Heart.

If it means so much, why is a conference tournament held?(That was to finish up point #3 about Tennessee.)

@ Andrew. That balanced attack wasn’t working too well yesterday.

Let me just say that the Tennessee lovefest during the game yesterday was sickening.

1. ”Tennessee is the best team in the SEC”. No they’re not. Florida is better. Calathes is better than anyone Tennessee has. If Tyus can play the way he played in Kansas City, we can match the Vols front line with Tyus, Parsons and Werner. Also, when you lose a player like Chris Lofton and we bring back a player like Nick Calathes , it’s impossible to be better.

2. ”Tyler Smith is the best player in the SEC”. What? are you kidding me? I know the coaches and media voted him preseason SEC Player of the Year. They obviously forgot Nick Calathes(who is the best player in the SEC and i’m not just saying that because I am a Florida fan.), Ronald Steele, Patrick Patterson, etc.

3. ”Tennessee is the defending SEC Champions”. Wrong again. The last time I looked, Georgia won the SEC Tournament, therefore becoming SEC Champions. This fact is beared out by the newspapers listing Georgia as SEC Champions in the team capsules, whereas Tennessee was listed as an at-large. The regular season conference championship means very little(ask a team like Sacred Heart.) If it means so much, why is a conference tourname

I really like Michigan State this year. I think Neitzel was a nice player but depended on too heavily in the last two years. Michigan State historically flourishes when they utilize a balanced attack.

Running a shooter off three screens and disregarding big men was a poor strategy by a great tactician (Tom Izzo).
