I was highly pleased with how Bryce played last night. He was also getting inside too with was refreshing to see. He should've have tried that dunk. If he went for the layup, he would've scored, but he missed the Funko because he didn't have they length. I thought of guys did a superb job in their shot selection all game basically... Only a handful of dumb three balls mostly from Harper and Purifoy.

I know Harper is a PG who can score and shoot, but he needs to learn to facilitate a little more and direct he offense. We played the pick and roll offense beautifully last night too.

Ronnie Johnson had the worst of the night towards the end of the game. 18 seconds on the shot clock and he throws up some bullshite 3 that didn't even hit rim. I was so pissed I think it was like 1 or 2 plays earlier that he fell down dribbling the ball and turned it over out of bounds.

Harper wants to play that Allen Iverson scoring PG game. Harper needs to play that John Wall scoring distributor PG game.

You can get your assists and score too.

I think the ball slipped out a little early more than anything else, he had plenty of height on it. Won't knock him for that. He has played very well recently. Defensive intensity has been there, and he's looked to attack the basket more. I think that has helped his shot some and gotten some of his confidence back.

Which sucks because up until about 5 minutes left, he was having a phenomenal game. Lots of great drives and dishes.

So I wonder how many future opponents are going to increase the frequency of pressing us on inbounding after last night?

Any chance Spencer plays? This is a game where we could really need him.


From Mark Murphy yesterday.

Horace Spencer had an MRI on his shoulder today and Bruce Pearl didn't sound encouraging about the initial report. There is going to be another look at the sophomore's injury on Wednesday.

Refs only allow that type of contact and trapping in the final minutes. If you did that from the start, your entire team would foul out in the first 10 minutes of the game

It's honestly some baby back bullshite. Bruce's full court press is what he is know. For yet we can't do it

So our players need to start sleeving up if we want to make a late season push.

Our lack of arm sleeves and head bands is disturbing. How do they expect to play at a high level if they don't have the necessary attire

Yes. 20 wins likely gets us on the wrong side of the bubble. We would need wins against UF and maybe Arkansas, plus a couple of extra in the SECt, imo.

It is also dependent on what happens with other bubble teams both in conference and around the country.

As a team we are shooting 41.1% from 3 over the last 2 weeks and 38.5% over the last 4 weeks. That's pretty solid.

OM doesn't defend the 3 well, allowing its opponent to make 8.8 of 23.8 on average (37%).

Here are the scenarios and likelihood of making the tournament. This obviously changes based on number of bubble teams taken + how other bubble teams performed


Probability of making the tournament is likely around 10% tops

Make tournament
-6 Wins + 1 SECT win
-7 Wins + 0+ SECT win
-5 Wins including FL + 2 SECT win

Good Chance to get in tournament

- 5 Wins + 2 SECT wins
- 5 Wins including FL + 1 SECT win
- 4 Wins + 3 SECT wins

50/50 True Bubble Chance

-4 Wins incl FL + 2 SECT wins

Wrong Side of the bubble

-4 Wins (not UF) + 2 SECT win
-5 wins (not UF) + 1 SECT win

Ridiculously Small Chance of the tournament

- Any combination of Wins + SECT Wins less than 7 (e.g 21 Wins or less total)
