Our games with LSU will be interesting.

They are a great scoring team but almost exclusively shoot 2s.


I use to hook up Watford with illegal free streams to watch our games. Who do I talk to to report this infraction of inadmissible benefits?

I'm not sure there's a single top twenty team. Kentucky is on their best day but not always. Not a single top twenty team in KenPom right now -- UF is #22, UK #23, Arkansas #25, and Auburn #26

It's a pretty deep league of flawed teams. Then there are several brutal teams like A&M and Vanderbilt. And several teams that I can't figure out if they're mediocre or brutal like South Carolina and Ole Miss. But the conference is definitely down even if it gets six bids

WTF you mean? If that ref crew will call like that for the road team, I’ll take them when we travel all day. What a fricking shitshow of officiating. Solid win. Didn’t play great, opponent hits 31 straight FTs and we still won by double digits and could have hit 90 again if Cuonzo hadn’t conceded during the last possession. They didn’t even attempt to shoot their way back in it at the 3 minute mark. If I’m a Missouri fan, I’m pissed at the apparent lack of concern over this one.

Love the way this team is rolling. I saw Petty step up at crunch time and show some solid leadership. That guy has come light years from where he was and I’m so happy for him. These guys dont get down and don’t quit. They just keep battling. Roll Tide!

I'll take it too considering it would likely get us into the dance.

Probably need to win a SECT game to feel good but yea, at this point that record seems like it would do the trick.

The way the season started 19 or 20 regular season wins would be great.

I think 18 wins gives us a 50/50 shot, 19 an ~85% shot, and 20 makes us a lock. We really need to avoid losing to Vandy next week though with Penn and UNC tanking.

Who woulda thunk UNC would be killing our SOS? That sounds laughable even when i type it.

Their upperclassmen stink, and UNC has traditionally relied much more heavily on upperclassmen than other blue blood programs like Duke, Kentucky, and Kansas. It also doesn't help that their 1 and done freshman is hurt.

They weren't very good against us even with Lil Anthony

Their offense is awful

I think if we got to replay our OOC schedule starting tomorrow we would lose 2 games. 3 at the most.

Yep

- @ Rhode Island would still be tough
- 1-2 of the Bahamas games probably lossss
- we played pretty well @ Penn St, so that one could still be a loss

We beat Penn and probably win 1 more in the Bahamas for sure

I don’t think the committee is stupid enough to count the UNC loss against us. Before their Naismith candidate went down, their only losses were to Michigan, Ohio State, and Virginia with wins over Notre Dame, Oregon and us. They may not have been the traditional UNC team, but definitely not a bad loss.

Plus with Anthony expected to come back soon, I doubt they continue to plummet.

I really want Vandy to win tonight because please lord don’t let us be the team that breaks their SEC losing streak.
