What about after we lose to Oklahoma by 25 then drop home games to UF and UTk? Because all of those things are likely to happen.

We said that about going to LSU and home vs Auburn and won both games.

I'm not saying I feel good. I don't at all. I'm totally prepared to go 17-15. However, not there yet.

Avery doesn't make good adjustments, if he makes adjustments at all.

What the frick was the foul?

A blown call. Kid stepped into and tripped over AJ Jr's foot, on his own. Huge break for OM, there. Should've been our ball with a chance to trim their lead close. Dang it!

We've lost this exact game to Ole Miss in Oxford 20 times in my life.

The Gottfried version was generally 88-63.

Avery is basically Gottfried light. Recruit hard, don't worry about offensive or defensive philosophy.

Honestly I just think our players aren't that good. I get everyone wanting to attack Avery, but the team is young and like I said this Ole Miss team isn't that bad. Y'all can compare him to Johnny Jones if you want, but Collin isn't Ben Simmons. He's not even close.

He's coming off an injury but he actually had a shot to start the season. And as its progressed he's been shooting worse and worse. He's gotta get his confidence back

When Sexton and Petty combine for 10 points we have no chance of beating anyone in the SEC.

It's literally just getting our big out to the top of the key to set the screen, then passing the ball around. It's infuriating seeing other teams run fun offense, but I guess we shouldn't expect it anymore. We ask the same fricking question every year.

Quite frankly Collin has to play better or we're not going to be much better.

We have some solid young players, but they have another year or two before they are game changing guys. If Collin doesn't turn into an electric player again then we're not going to win many more games. That's probably not fair to him, but it's the way it is.

He can't keep going 2/13 for 7 pts. If he does, we're fricked. He doesn't have to score 30 a night, but he's got to be a presence in every game. He was not tonight.

Ole Miss and Vanderbilt are the two lowest ranked SEC teams according to NCAA's RPI. Alabama has lost to both of them.

Tremendous job, Avery.

Sexton and Petty were 3/21.

Lol, we might keep it close because Avery has shown to get his teams to exceed expectations when you doubt them the most, but we'll lose for sure.

Good news is we're not completely out of the tournament discussion, but our road is a lot tougher.
