Losing my confidence in beating this Bama team based on our 3 point defense of late

We will need them to have an off night from deep and will have to make shots to limit their fast break/transition points. We need to control tempo and slow things way down.

the way every game can look so different stylistically purely because of how it is officiated is nuts. It is the hardest sport to officiate but there is no excuse for it to be as bad as it is right now


Another great example was the WVU-Iowa St. game tonight.
The damn refs thought everyone was there to watch them call fouls.

Good thing our guards are known for their discipline and control.

What officiating?

That was outright theft.

People like to trash the NBA, but the games are so much better to watch from an officiating standpoint. I'd rather watch them call nothing than a one-sided free throw contest.

Here’s our schedule the rest of the way.

Alabama - tossup
Missouri - likely W
@ Vandy - tossup
Ole Miss - likely W
@ Kentucky - L
@ Alabama - L
Tennessee - tossup

Ceiling looks like 4-3 which is good enough to get in the tournament. The floor is 2-5 which wouldn’t get us in. Most likely result seems like 3-4 which puts us on the bubble.

Looks about right. I’d like to throw UK into the tossup category based on their game against Arky the other night but I’ll believe we can beat a decent team on the road when I see it. We also have a mental block at Rupp. The final 4 team lost by 30 there. I think Bruce hypes it up too much

I think 3 wins for sure gets us in and 2 puts us on the bubble.

@bama is the only game we will likely get blown out in. If we can get a few wins and avoid multiple blowout losses we should still be sitting fairly nicely in the NET.

We’ve had so many close Q1 losses. Need to hope we steal one or two more of those and hope Arkansas and NW have solid finishes.

And Tennessee. With those 2 plus any combo of 2 wins vs Vandy, Mizzou, Ole Miss and we are in.

If we get to 20 wins and have one of those wins against Bama or Tenn we are pretty solidly in the tourney.

We for sure need to take care of business before the conference tournament. History has shown those mean nothing.
