As of today I think it's fair to say the teams that at least have a decent chance at making the NCAA Tournament are : Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Auburn, Miss St. Kentucky and Texas A&M are still out there with a little life, but they've got a ton of ground to make up (no good wins and both have at least 1 terrible loss).
And so, if you look at the 5 teams outside of us who are probably the NCAA Tournament Teams and look to see who out of Bama/Vols/Ark/Auburn plays them the most on the road........we definitely have it the hardest.
- Alabama (5/5) (@ State, @ Arkansas, @ Missouri, @ Auburn, @ Tennessee)
- Mississippi State (5/5) (@ Tennessee, @ Auburn, @ Alabama, @ Arkansas, @ Missouri)
- Arkansas (4/5) (@ Auburn, @ Missouri, @ Alabama, @ Tennessee)
- Missouri (4/5) (@ Arkansas, @ State, @ Tennessee, @ Auburn)
- Auburn (2/5) (@ Tennessee, @ Alabama)
- Tennessee (2/5) (@ State, @ Auburn)
The good news is, we're 3-0 already and still have the following games left
- vs #99 LSU
- vs #70 Miss St
- vs #92 Vanderbilt
- vs #45 Florida
- vs #84 Georgia
- @ #92 Vanderbilt
- @ #99 LSU
- @ #242 South Carolina
Expecting to go 7-1 over those games seems very reasonable assuming we continue playing at the consistent level we have. That puts us at 10-1.
So, that would leave
- @ #17 Arkansas
- @ #35 Missouri
- @ #24 Auburn
- @ #2 Tennessee
- @ #73 Texas A&M
- vs #17 Arkansas
- vs #24 Auburn
If we can go 4-3 over that stretch then we end up at 14-4 in the SEC.
Not sure if that is enough to win it, but it's a damn good season and if it is combined with a win @ Oklahoma would put us at 25-6 (14-4) and I'd guess in line for a #2 seed at worst.

I understand what you’re saying. It’s just the line shifted because the professional bettors who do this stuff for a living and study this game from every angle and know all the trends have decided to bet on Arkansas. Maybe I’m caring too much about it but it is worrisome.
Only being a one point dog @BWA says a lot though.

UT has a really favorable home/away split this year. They are staying home for the SEC/B12 Challenge instead of going to Austin too.

They are 41-3 (17-2 SEC) there the last 3 years. It's a very hard place to win, and despite their warts they still have an extremely talented roster and a very good coach. Both of those losses were their SEC home openers, too (Missouri 2021 and Vandy 2022).
Tonight would be a cherry on top victory when you look at our schedule and try to game out our season.

Even though I am a big Ron Washington fan, I like the new profile pic. Seeing that uniform just instantly brought me back to some fun memories.

#Arkansas has struggled to score outside of the paint this season — especially in SEC play. 56.5% of the Razorbacks' attempts have been at the rim.
#Alabama is ranked third in the country at protecting the rim (1.034 ppp).
Something's got to give tonight.

Pardon the Interruption is on ESPN2 right before our game so we won’t have to worry about missing tip.

Another advantage of the 6pm tip.

First 9 Games:
17.9 PTS | 8.4 REB | 1.7 AST | 0.6 STL

Last 6 Games:
20.8 PTS | 8.5 REB | 2.3 AST | 1.3 STL
51.2 FG% | 44.4 3P% | 86.4 FT%
He's getting better.
Not only that. When was the last time anyone here's bitched about him dribbling and getting stolen. His ball control has been much better lately. I hoped with experience, he's adjust to the game speed and have fewer turnovers. I wish they included his turnover average over the last 6 games vs the first 9.

And man he is a great rebounder. Sticks his nose in there, has elite quick jump and when he snatches one he snatches it.

He had 11 turnovers combined against Gonzaga (6) and Jackson State (5) which were both in the last six games.

Wow, that is awesome - what a turnaround. Continue limiting the turnovers like he has in the last two and we may get a better version of JQ than we had two years ago.

JQ
The 2P% tell me he’s getting some of that burst back. Seemed like early on he was struggling to get past defenders and had a lot of shots blocked.
If he keeps up that 3P%, shooooooooweeee watch out, it’s gonna be a fun year with everything else we have showed.

He's looking like the 20/21 Quinn instead of the 21/22 version. Much smarter and less forced. Relearning to trust his teammates and not be Kobe makes a huge difference.

Totally random stats that mean nothing, but I found at least slightly humorous/interesting/surprising:
Noah Gurley and Nimari Burnett have the same amount of 3PM (10).
JQ has the third most 3PM on the team (15).
Jaden Bradley has played the fourth most minutes on the team.
Brandon Miller has made as many shots as Jaden Bradley and Noah Clowney combined (90).
Mark Sears has the fourth most rebounds on the team.
