All we've done since losing to UK is barely win a against a terrible Missouri team and pound an even worse LSU team. I know the numbers favor LSU, but recently LSU has been worse than Mizzou.

Outside of our home loss to Auburn, we have won 2 then lost 1 for all of conference play. I wouldn't be surprised at all to lose to UGA, beat Ole Miss and TAMU, then lose to UTK.

To the poster who asked if Bola could go pro on rebounds and defense, Dennis Rodman says hello.

To still be in the conversation as one of the first four out at this juncture with this team is amazing. Making it will be a very tall order and I really don't expect to but I'm thrilled we have a chance.

Next season will be interesting and I do expect us to take a big step up in ability. But I also think several SEC teams will do the same: UK, Fl, and USC ain't going away. Pearls talent influx will be a year older and wiser and should be better. Barnes is gaining traction in Knoxville as is Howland in Starkville. Arkansas and Ole Miss find ways to remain in the upper half of the league and Bryce Drew should make a difference at Vandy. Only LSU, Misery, and aTm should be bad next season. I believe the SEC as a whole will be much improved next year.

Y'all do it every time lol...we play one good game and everyone gets all excited. Not to many teams going to sit in a lazy zone and let us run back screens and shoot wide open jumpers all day.

I think our best hope is to make the NIT. No way we make the NCAA.

win 3 of 4 and make a deep run in the SECT and hope that there are no upsets in other tournaments where a low seed wins in a one big league.

I told myself I wasn't gonna get excited about any chance of the tourney, and I'm still not THAT excited bc I still don't think we'll make it. But it's really hard to not get a little excited when you see us start popping up in different bubble watches with only 4 games to go. Plus all 4 of these teams are beatable (or we could lose to all 4) and the bubble is very weak this year so that helps too.

Until Saturday, the wide open jumper thing wouldn't have been a problem either.

They ruined the skills competition too.

Used to be so much more involved. Not it is just dribble pass and shoot a 3

I feel really confident about the Georgia game. We already beat them by 20 at Georgia. They're without Maten. We're coming in off some good games, maybe the momentum will continue. The last 3 games make me nervous bc we could win or lose any of them.

We can make it if our offense can give us any semblance of consistency and we shoot at least 70% of our free throws. Confidence with which our team played this last game even though it was against LSU was gratifying. Think it can carry over if we repeat this performance against a wounded Georgia. Ole Miss and Texas A&M will be beaten. Tennessee will be a toss up.

I think this team knows what's at stake right now. Riley was wearing his "Big Dance 2017" shirt after the LSU win and they seem to have a little confidence.
