They may not be consistent sharp shooters but they bring their hard hats every single second, minute, & game.

Lol outside shot at the tourney? Guys we are going to the tourney with ease this season. We choked against Florida. We should honestly clean house at home the rest of the way. Accept it, we have a good team this season. This is a 20 win team.

If we can sneak a win at Vandy then beat K-State we might have an outside shot at the tourney.


After the trip to BR, of our last 11 games are against teams currently below us in the SEC standings.

If we go to LSU 12-7 we don't have an outside shot, we have our fate in our own hands.

I've said that to my wife and daughter (neither of which know who Dennis Rodman is). But, he does remind me of him - athletic, but not skilled - great hustle - great defense. He's not quite the rebounder Rodman was, but he's a better ball handler.

I want to get to Baton Rouge at 12-7 and then see what we can do.

I'm just having fun watching these guys. Don't want to start thinking if/when tournament stuff.

The SEC tournament should be pretty wide open. Since I’m a fan and I don’t need to take it one game at a time, we could have a real shot if we shoot well.

Yea we should beat K state and Vandy no problem. Honestly it’s about seeding at this point. We are already 44 in Net.

We have 10 wins!! Folks might think that isn’t a big deal, but if you saw us play early in the season, then you know what a phenomenal coaching job that Oats has done. Ton of credit to the players too. They’ve all bought in

I've never seen the refs keep a team in the game like that in all my life.

We were all pretty sure this teams ceiling was 5-13 or so in conference. And that wasn't debby downer stuff, it was reasonable.

It is not at all farfetched to say this team could/should be 12-5 or 13-4.

We had been cold for the last couple games from 3, if we stay healthy and get hot at the right time we could make some noise in the SEC tourney and find ourselves in the NCAAT

This team is better than some experts want to believe and they're getting better

Who knows where we'd be if JQ had gotten his waiver

Herb was fantastic.His rebounding and his play around the basket defensively was brilliant. 3 steals,two charges and three assists along with a double double.
Player of the game. He has cut down on the stupid turnovers too.

Why do you guys set yourself up for disappointment like this. Not like we are a flawless team.

I really wish we would have had a schedule like I think we will under Oats. I think Oats will try to schedule something close to what Auburn has for non-conference this year. A few “easy” wins early, solid but not great competition throughout most of it, but add 1 maybe 2 true tests when starting to approach SEC Play.

I think we’d be pretty close to a locked NCAAT team with that kind of schedule this year. Playing tougher games early doesn’t allow for team chemistry to build and especially this year when nobody on the roster was ready for this pace, it put us in a big hole to climb out of for the NCAAT.

We've still got some very difficult games

@ LSU
@ Auburn
@ State
@ Georgia
@ Missouri
LSU

Not to mention other games that won't be gimmees : @ Ole Miss, Tennessee.
