For a conference that had eight bids in the NCAA Tournament, one would expect the majority to get out of the first round. Well, it has been the opposite for the SEC. Four of the eight teams have already been eliminated as lower seeds than their opponents.

The Kentucky Wildcats, Auburn Tigers, South Carolina Gamecocks and Florida Gators all fell to their opponents in the first round, leaving only two teams that were ranked in the top 25 of the AP poll remaining in the Alabama Crimson Tide and Tennessee Volunteers.

These results so far are just about the exact opposite of what folks thought would happen. And fans sure are giving their thoughts on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Here are some of the Top Tweets having Fun with the SEC’s so far Abysmal Performance in the NCAA Tournament.

Kat is a great follow on X (formerly known as Twitter in general) and gives us some comical tweets on the Auburn Tigers as a proud Alabama fan right now.

Lane Kiffin from the Top Rope

Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin is never one to shy away from some playful commentary on X (formerly known as Twitter) and he did not disappoint after Auburn’s loss to Yale wishing them good luck after they had lost in a retweet of an Auburn account.

Disappointing Conference

@biggameboomer tweeted out the blatant first round embarrassment teams in the SEC caused themselves and spotlighted Texas and Oklahoma for needing to pick up the slack when they join next year. This tweet trended on X (formerly known as Twitter). And it is not wrong.

Kentucky has not been the same

Jacob Rhymer tweeted a photo of the end of the Kentucky versus North Carolina Elite Eight matchup in 2017 eluding to the John Calipari-led Kentucky Wildcats never being the same since that devastating loss with .3 seconds to play.

Many great moments for the tournament overall have happened so far, and that is without question. Be sure to stay tuned into X (formerly known as Twitter) as the games go on. From the above, as you can see it provides for some great entertainment.
