I was expecting our SOS to be better actually. UT-A, Minnesota, and A&M have disappointed.

How good is Herb going to be when he actually peaks? Stop turning it over, gets better at rebounding and becomes a consistent scorer. Once he does those things he'll be a first round pick. He may grow a couple more inches too

I actually think Herb will have a longer Pro career than Petty

Petty not only shot well in the first, he didn't force it in the 2nd which would have been easy to do.

Herb needs to work on his jump shot (his ideal future in the NBA is a 3 and D guy that can maybe create a bit more than your average 3 and D)

But the thing that he needs to be working on day and night in the short term is avoiding those traveling calls he constantly gets when he pump fakes or jab steps

yep he takes that pass on the wing, jab steps and walks


the upside is he's the best defender in the league

Chadaristic you got your wish. Even TCU couldn’t survive the hellhole that is Memorial Gym in Nashville.

A good win for Vandy doesn’t hurt us imo.

The team is playing better as a team lately. They are young and need to keep working on getting better. Go into the SEC tourney hot and ride it out from there.

I would be a little surprised if he's a 4 year player. He has an NBA body and the foundation of an NBA skill set. If he can improve his shot he's draftable.

Our remaining games from least to most difficult

1. LSU
2. Missouri
3. Arkansas
4. @State
5. @A&M
6. UT
7. Florida
8. @Kentucky
9. @Florida
10. @Auburn

Still think we need 5 wins although today definitely helped our case with 18 total.
