Social Media Reacts as SEC Struggles in NCAA Tournament After Mississippi State Loss

Mississippi State's NCAA Tournament stay wasn't very long as it was one-and-done for the Bulldogs. State lost in Friday's first round of the NCAA Tournament in a thriller against Baylor, falling 75-72.

Losing both the turnover and rebounding battle clearly didn't do Mississippi State any favors. Nor did allowing 51 second half points in the defeat.

Social media was alive for the end of the first round NCAA Tournament game as well as for the rough start for the SEC. Through eight games, the mighty conference sits just 4-4, and many are having a field day with that as well.

Check out the best social media posts during Mississippi State's tough loss and some of those dunking on the SEC almost halfway through the second day of the NCAA Tournament.

Another Confusing End for Mississippi State

I don't really understand how Mississippi State ends up in so many end-of-game possessions with someone other than Josh Hubbard shooting the ball.

SEC = Media Creation

Seeing this SEC basketball media-created fraud dissolve before our eyes is so gratifying.

This league is loaded with so many fake good teams

Perhaps 14 Was Too Many Teams

The NCAA selection committee should be embarrassed about picking 14 SEC teams. If you’re 14th in your league, I don’t care how tough your league is, you shouldn’t be in.

This Go for Any Sport?

For some reason, the SEC always struggles when they invite other conferences to the post season.

SEC the Deepest Conference

Drink every time you hear an NCAA tournament announcer say that the SEC was the deepest conference in the history of the sport this year.

(Right now they are 4-4)

15 Teams Next Year!

I just cannot understand how you can watch Drake, McNeese, UCSD, UNCW, etc and say “yeah let’s try for 15 SEC teams next year”

The SEC: An ACC Creation?

The conference from which the SEC got most of their street cred for getting 14 teams into the tournament might have been trash all along?

SEC Depth Not That Great?

Y’all over sold the depth of the SEC. 🙄

You Think?

I’ll admit the SEC may have been a bit overrated

Saw This Coming for SEC

If you would’ve told me that it would take the Big12 6 games to get to 5 tournament wins…

And it would take the SEC 9 games to get to 5 tournament wins…

I would’ve said…

I know.
