Looking at our remaining schedule I think we can finish strong

@State - W
Tenn - Toss Up
LSU - W
@UK - Toss Up
@AU - Toss Up
Ark - W
UF - W
@AM - Toss Up


If we win the games we should and take two toss ups we finish 6-2

LOL Bro, nothing is a guaranteed win and nothing is a guaranteed loss with this team.

I didn't expect to win today. Never would of thought we would blow them out in Gainesville. This is a hard team to put your finger on.

Cool as a cucumber, bro. Just seemed like a defensive response. Guess I was wrong.

Hence why I was confused to why you brought it up.

With this team there is no such thing as a game they should win. Everything is a toss up. We just need to win 4 of them.

Even keel is best approach, I'm hoping we have 5 more wins and a good sec tournament run in us.

Too bad the sec tournament is in at Louis this year... Compared to Nashville or ATL where we would have more fans

I'm not shocked by the win (well, sort of ). If you saw the Fla/UGa game last week or so, it went the same way. Fla played much better in the first half but didn't lead by much. Fell apart late.

A good run in the SEC tournament is a game changer. It would really help our seeding

Since he is a proud supporter of auburn athletics on a bama forum, I think I owe him the right to remind him of a few things. I'd buy the guy a beer tonight and give him shite at the same time.

Serious question: someone mentioned it a page or two back. Teams that are physical and slow down and play grind it out give us fits because we suck at half court offense. Why? We have lots of talent and some good playmakers. Our shooting is weak, no sugar coating it. But we should be able to have a good half court game based on penetration, screens, pick and roll, etc. Do our plays/strategy just suck or what gives? I watched the Missouri game and we just looked pathetic but I figured that was their style of play, not our sets. So what’s the scoop?

18-13 would give us an RPI in the mid 40's.....would that be good enough?

Cause we aren't a consistent shooting team. In the half court all you have to do is clog the paint with a zone to shut us down. Outside of sexton who can hit a 15 ft jumper? Exclude herb today.

I may be wrong but I think we shoot 46% on avg as a team, but have to check that. That isn't poor by any means.

Layups help that a lot. I'm talking pure jumpers. You won't always be able to get to the rim.

Hall shoots like 78% but that doesn't mean he is a good shooter

As to our chances if we finish 18-13...I think SOS and the league being strong gets us in. Would I rather be 19-12 or 20-11? U bet.
