Which camp are you in? 

Camp 1:   It's important. Go all out to win it. Build momentum going into the NCAA next week.

Camp 2 :  It's not important. Better to have fresh legs for next week. NCAA is the only one that really matters.


Cal has always downplayed the SEC Tourney, saying that it's the one the following week that matters.  The Cats are likely a pretty solid #3 right now. I doubt that changes any as a result of this tournament. If they lose to Ole Miss or A&M they might drop one seed line. Beating Ole Miss/A&M and then Bama still won't be enough to push them to #2.  Go 1-1 in the SECT and they will still probably be a 3. It's not gonna move the meter much either way, regardless of how they fare in Nashville.

Of course, we want our team to win every game they play, but will you be terribly disappointed if they drop a game in this tournament before reaching the title game?  Is rest more important than wins in Nashville?
