5 assists from Maleek was nice to see. That really opened the game up along with Wagner moving the ball.
Gotta have more than just Acuff doing that.

no clue but I am hoping we luck out enough to get in OKC or St. Louis for the for first weekend and then go to Chicago for the second.
Houston is another second weekend site but I am willing to bet Houston gets set up to play at home and I'd like to avoid that.

Usually gotta be a top 5 seed to have a chance of staying local. Easily doable I think we're a 5 and close to a 4 most places right now.

Still think this team can be very special but the stars have to move past this 50/50 shite.
Shots not falling is one thing, but we’ve gotta get past talking about effort and taking plays off. Especially Acuff, Brazile and Knox.

Vandy did more for our metrics than any win so far... but damn they did not look good. Felt like we could've done anything we wanted to all night

In all fairness, though, Auburn might say the same thing about us.

Team has to channel this effort and take it on the road with them.

Yeah, we were bigger, stronger, faster and doing what we wanted all night. Not convinced Vandy is as good as their ranking and record were. We have a lot to figure out against top competition if we want to dance hard, especially our bigs and cutting down the dumb tos.

We really don't turn the ball over that much, 4th in the conference in total turnovers. 3rd if Kentucky turns it over a couple of times tonight.

Or take that many bad shots. Which is refreshing and kind of unexpected with this group on the surface. Offense is very efficient and the shots we miss are usually pretty good ones.
It’s legit just consistent focus, effort and intensity which as Cal keeps mentioning, requires no talent.

Yeah, but we seem to do it at very inopportune times and it seems like other teams usually get points out of it. I could be wrong. Speaking purely anecdotally.

Maybe we can call up Portis and get him eligible. You know everybody else is doing it
