I was actually thinking OU by double digits because of our health, a hot opponent, and a slight rut for us offensively at the moment. I’d love to be completely wrong.

Same. I think at full strength we'd beat them easily, but we're the walking wounded at this point.

That's what I said when I noticed that.

I agree completely. I think he is way too unselfish at times.

Other than Bruner, and some bumps and bruises, I think we're fine. Oats was saying before the bumps and bruises even happened that he likes to lighten up practices at this point in the season so the guys don't get so run down.
I'll withhold my comments on Rojas being out.

How are you guys feeling about Tomorrow's game? I think we win by about 10, we are due for a big game offensively. They'll probably keep it close most of the game since we are banged up but I think we pull away a bit at the end.
I don’t think they are athletic enough to stay in front of Our Guards on the dribble drive. If they have to Help we will get a lot Wide Open 3s. Basically if we make our shots we win easily IMO

Herb is playing through a ton of pain and hasn't practiced all week and Reese is apparently only barely able to do anything in practice. They'll play, but not at anything close to 100%.

The dude apparently can't keep any food down and lost like 10 pounds in a couple of days but still tried to play the other night, so yeah keep it to yourself.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. Their D is ranked a little bit below Arkansas' we should be able to put up over 80 on them pretty easily, and I don't see them getting over 80 against us.

I'm pretty confident the guy with a bruised hip that played very well in the last game which was the game after he bruised it, will be ok. Oats had rested them all week so they could recover, not because they couldn't practice. It's midseason. Every team is banged up.
As far as Rojas, I just think he's the worst option on the team. It would be nice to have his 5 fouls, but I prefer every option we have over him. Nothing against him personally, but to this point, his best game was the last one he played before the illness where he just didn't frick up a lot.

He got 7 rebs and 15 points vs Florida and and 7 rebs and 11 points vs Furman.
He has had some decent games when he can stay out of foul trouble, which is rare.

We had a string ooc schedule. But we also have an absurdly front heavy SEC schedule. They'll probably catch up a little bit. We get through the next 3 games, and our sos will start to drop a bit.

#7 Iowa lost, we'll move up a spot if we win tomorrow, we might would up two spots since #5 Texas lost too.

You’d think with those two losing, if we beat another ranked team on the road, making our way to #5 becomes realistic.

You need to crank out the SoG score predictor for basketball

I’d like to just say, I’ve ridden Reese extremely hard over the last few years, but he really must be a great teammate and I can see a difference in his effort, especially over the last 9 games. I know that he is dealing with some kind of knee issue, and he keeps trying to give 100%. I won’t take back what I’ve previously said about him in past years, but I respect the hell out of him for trying this season. He’s nowhere near healthy, but I can tell, this season, that he is trying
