Last year at this time we hit the wall and were tanking.This year we are rising like a phoenix. We could win all our games. Would not be surprised,just need two people to score consistently and hit free throws,rebounding and defense will do the rest.

By the way anyone think Bola could make a living at basketball with his rebounding and defense? 30 rebounds in the last two games. Number One in the country at Offensive Rebounds per minutes played.Wow.

Last year we were dead last or close to last in rebounding in the SEC. Avery added Bola and we're #1 or 2 in the SEC now.

We are definitely putting it all together at the right time. Last year we collapsed at this point.

What happened to Yante Maten?? If he is out Thursday I definately feel great about our chances to sweep UGA.

Edit:Nvm I saw it on last page, I hope he gets better just hope it waits till after Thurs.

Look we played well today, but this is nothing new with our team. They haven't been consistent enough for me to think we have any tournament hope. Also, LSU is abysmal.

Bola is a player we might actually miss next year.

Would love for Georgia to steal this one. Would be a huge RPI boost (road win over them, chance at another win Thursday possibly without Maten, only played UK once).

Just saw our remaining schedule on AL.com and it had the RPI beside each team. Georgia is #50 and Tennessee is #46. I know it changes daily but there's a chance we could have 1 or 2 more top 50 RPI wins which would help a lot.

Does anyone use the watchespn app on a Xbox or something like that? If so if you decide to rewind or fast forward a game does it take you back to the beginning of the game?

Georgia winning this game would be huge (assuming we can beat Georgia Thursday, which clearly is not a given).

Georgia would jump to around #40 (making our win in Athens better) and give up another great shot. Then, of course, Tennessee. And Ole Miss will still be in the Top 70.

I use it on apple tv and it lets me skip around within the game without going back to start.

Oh, I have no expectations.

I just want to have games down the stretch that matter and we do. That was my goal.

Without Maten too.

To beat Kentucky you have to have 1 or 2 guys who can just make shots and plays. We also played one of our poor games against them, and even with that, we were a couple possessions away late.

Really need UGA to win this one.

It's amazing what quick guards can do for a team. I hope Sexton is our answer

Hopefully Georgia will think their season is over and have a nice letdown on Thursday for us.
