This is absolutely the biggest difference since Furman. Oats has said before that the shots will handle themselves, but low energy and poor effort aren't excusable. He's clearly got these guys bought in.

This of course will all come crashing down against UF.

We've now played

- 7 Top 100 teams (4-3)
- 5 Top 58 teams (3-2)
- 3 Top 35 teams (1-2)

A large chunk of the SEC has 1-2 Top 100 games. LSU has 2 (and is 0-2).

Our first 5 conference games are just brutal



While true, so is the fact that we have been tested early non conference.

Providence (w) lost to Creighton on a last second shot.

Stanford (L) has won 4 straight with a win over Zona.

Clemson (L) Is still legit going to UM and notching a late win. They only have 1 loss.


We'll see. I've still got the koolaid pumper on tap.

Just kept waiting for the score to shrink and it never got past 6-7. We did some dumb shite but we closed that sucker out on defense and with 2-3 clutch shots.

Obviously hard to quantify the importance of a home crowd, but you’ve gotta think it’s at least somewhat easier for an away team to withstand a second half run this year.

Of course that works both ways. It’s (basically) just us and Florida on Tuesday, so we’re going to have to bring the energy.

Refs tried to make up for it tonight. We beat them and UTk. Pons committed at least half a dozen uncalled fouls in the last 10-12 minutes of the game. The "block" they called where he just lowered his shoulder and slammed into Rojas's chest was one of the worst calls I've ever seen.

When Pons didn’t get called for over the back, I almost came unglued. It’s like officials knew he had 3 fouls and didn’t want to affect his playing time.

Did anyone think it was a little strange that Kendall Wall got in a couple different times but we didn’t see Gary, Miles, or Ambrose?

Collin just buried a 3 to give the Cavs a 3 pt lead against the Hawks.

That isn't cool Collin
