Y'all know damn well that South Carolina is going to play like shite OOC and then burst every bubble they come across in conference play. It's their m.o. and has been for years.

Luckily Bama has had their number. One of the weirdest things about the Avery era.

Coach Oats is at Universal Studios this weekend in Orlando. Please don’t catch the Rona again or bring it to our players

They are the biggest threat to SEC tournament spots each year

Looking at UKs schedule....They might have to win the SEC tournament. Unless they get MUCH better in conference play(which they will) but they may not be many quality conference wins to get this year

No Network for Saturday’s game yet? I hope it’s not fricking ESPN+ or SECN+

Of course it is since ACC network is not part of our cable package. I guess I’ll catch the radio broadcast on TuneIn.

Until Petty, Herb, and Reese leave after the season, I don't expect huge strides. Next year will be addition by subtraction. Herb and Reese aren't really great fits for the system (although we can all agree Herb makes up for it a lot with effort) and Petty needs better handles to be truly great for this offense even though he's a big contributor.


Couldn't disagree more re: Herb not being a fit for the system.

The ideal makeup of the system is 1 athletic rim protector and four wings ranging from 6'3 to 6'8 that can all dribble-drive, pass, shoot the 3, and guard 1-4 from the other team.

Herb ticks all those boxes except for the 3-ball. He is arguably the best defender in the SEC and at 6'7, he can guard all 5 positions.

He is also our 2nd/3rd primary ball handler at that size, and our best dribble-driver.

You can't run this system with 5 Herb Joneses, but you definitely need 1 or 2 to make it work.

Don't disagree with you, DLev, except for one point. Not only is Herb's 3 ball not much of a threat, he can't hit a damn 3 footer more often than not. He's worked on his shooting, and it does look better, but still not where it needs to be. I wish he'd had 4 years under Oats. If he could finish more consistently, he'd be a force. Love him to death, but he's not an offensive threat.

It’s looking like it’ll be 6 CT on the ACC Network
