All 3 will be tough I agree, and I agree that State is the better team than all 3, but in the SEC and ecspecially college basketball, the best team isn't winning every game, ecspecially road games.

I think we are catching Missouri at a good time, coming off a win and not really playing for anything.

I kinda wish SC had lost tonight so they stopped playing for anything but that shall be tough as usual in Columbia. Martin remarkably only has 1 tournament appearance in 8 years there.

And Ole Miss being a rivalry and us being their super bowl was evident in Oxford. But we tend to do well at the Hump against them as opposed to have only beating Ole Miss once in the past 10 years in Oxford.

SEC Teams went 1-6 on the road Saturday and we were the only SEC Team to have gotten a road win. To make it clear, winning on the road is difficult in the SEC no matter who it is. For a variety of reasons, anyone who watches basketball knows this. Refs, home crowds etc. It is just tough to do.

The win makes this week even bigger. And I am afraid we have to go 2-0 again this week. SC on the road concerns me greatly. This is a team that can beat big time teams at home such as Kentucky. The fact that we play them twice every year is frustrating to say the least. Ole Miss will obviously be a concern once we get to it, but I like the fact that it is at home and we have done fine at home games this season, like avenging a 69-90 loss at Alabama this past week with an 80-73 win.

We are also now #4 in the SEC which means we have a chance for our first top 4 SEC finish since 2008.

This week is HUGE, it all starts Tuesday. Hail State!
