There was a replay of the A&M and Arizona games a few days ago too. Watched some of the A&M one. Forgot how much Galin progressed late in the season.

I think they’re showing games of all the top nba prospects. Bc the Auburn, Zona, and A&M games were some of Collin’s best games

Ayton killed us so that probably has something to do with them showing the Zona game

After the Mizzu game where he got owned every time he stepped on the floor - mostly on the defensive end, I didn't think he could do anything for us late in the season. Avery had to pull him. He couldn't guard anyone.

You're right. He really stepped up late. Looking forward to seeing him progress next year.

Don't get me wrong, Smith made some huge strides toward the end of the year, but I'm thinking Fleming is going to eat a lot into his minutes next year. Smith is longer and has one year of experience, but I just don't see many other advantages he has over Fleming.

Well one things for sure. Fleming, Smith, Giddens, and Hall are all gonna make each other better during practice. Whoever gets minutes should be really good

This should be our best frontcourt since...?

SF- Jones, Mack, Riley
PF- Reese, Fleming
C- Hall, Giddens, Smith

2011 had a good group with Green, Mitchell, Cooper, and Jacobs, but not as much depth.

A little off topic, but why is there not a rivalry weekend in basketball or any sport other than football? It's pretty lame that both games against Auburn were on weekdays last season.

Yeah I hated that. I wasn’t able to go to the Auburn game last year like I wanted bc it was on a weekday

Quote of the day from this morning's media availability...

Reporter: Are you ready for the NBA?
Sexton: I feel like I am.
Reporter: In what regard?
Sexton: In all regards.

I love Collin

It seems like it'd be easy to market rivalry weekend at the end of the season. I don't understand why the conference wouldn't do it other than just lazy scheduling.

If Mack was really one of the best players in practice last year, I think he'd be too good to bring off the bench. I figure we'll probably have Dazon, Petty, Herb, Mack, and Hall start with Butler, Riley, and Reese the first few guys off the bench. Hopefully Giddens can become a little less rigid and a lot less foul prone and give us some valuable minutes as well.

That's not my lineup prediction. I was just listing everyone by their natural position. I agree that our starters at the beginning of the season will either be Dazon, Petty, Herb, Mack, Hall or Dazon, Petty, Mack, Norris, Hall.

Anyone know how Reese is progressing?? I really like what I saw from him last year. I hope he has dropped some weight because he has a good shot.

Because the SEC is trying to tank my ticket scalping profits


My AU v Bama tickets for Saturday games paid for a significant chunk of my entire season

Looking at the best available, I was surprised to see how low CBS has Kevin Hervey(UT Arlington) ranked(63). I thought he was one of the best guys we played against all year. 6’9, 230. He looked so natural playing inside & outside the perimeter, was smooth in transition. I just remember thinking he looked like he was made for the NBA.

Boy Mitchell Robinson's last year has been a roller coaster. I made so many poor decisions he fell all the way into the second round.

Hervey was really good. Him and that #1 on UT Arlington almost gave me a damn aneuryism.
