Vandy - W
TAMU - L
@UGA - W
UK - W
@South Car - W
Bama - W
@UF - L
@Arky - L

OT but here is a mind boggling stat

Bryce Brown is one of the top in the country in not turning the ball over. #4 in all of SEC conference. Not sure how possible giving his driving usually feels like an auto TO

Other fun fact, Mustapha + Harper in conference play are a combined 9/43 3FG for a cool 20.9% 3FG

Bryce however is 25/52 for 48.1% 3FG

The 2nd half was nice... but if Harper and especially Heron don’t start scoring more consistently, every game is gonna be a dogfight.

Seems like Harper requires himself to be at least 6 feet beyond the line before he can actually make a 3.

If he gets time to set up, he will hit it every time I feel like. Seems like that only happens 6ft out


That's how I feel about McElmore at the 3pt line. If he is wide open and gets 2-3s to gather he is going to drain it. Otherwise it's a brick house

Our bigs (McElmore and Okeke) might be better mid-to-long range shooters than Mustapha.

I should know this but where are the NCAA tourney games played? Chance we get put in a spot that is drivable?

I agree, 13-5 seems most likely.

So you’re just assuming we lose every away game?

No... if we go 7-5 we would have to win at learn one road game. I could see us winning in Oxford.

This team has to get more consistent if it wants to win at the tougher road venues we’ll see from here on out.
