Since the requirement is to report injuries the night before SEC game days, there will likely be a lid on any injuries until Tuesday night.

As the AP poll currently stands we will play or have played 10 of the top 15.

The one downside to being this good is that it's championship or bust. Anything less will feel like a first round exit.

Maybe I’m an outlier, but I’d be satisfied (maybe slightly disappointed) if we made the 2nd weekend. Anything after that is gravy.

E8 is probably my mark. By that point you are usually playing a dang good team and anything can happen in a one game scenario

2nd weekend is a must.

I realize shite happens in the tournament but the constant first weekend departures since the final four hurts. Fact of the matter is people dont view regular season success the same as postseason success. I would freely give up the regular season title for an elite 8. Wouldn't you?

Tournament is a guards game and we have guards. We have experience in tough games. We should be well prepared for whatever is thrown at Bruce.

You have more trust in our guards than i do. I'd give a nut to have tre Donaldson back on this team

We definitely needed Tre as a guard willing to split playing time.

Surely wouldn't mind him taking JP's spot if you can really call it a spot?

Us and Houston jumped Duke in KenPom.

1 -Auburn
2 - Houston
3 - Duke
4 - Florida

We have also moved to 11th in defense and still 1 in offense.

We are unanimous 1 in both AP/Coaches and 1 in the NET rankings.

It’s good to be King.

I don’t know what to think of Florida. They have an SOS of 223 and have blown out some good teams and have eked out a win or lost to bad ones…

That 7’9 guy is a novelty act. He’s definitely taking a redshirt this year.

He could be good eventually but it’s gonna take some years of seasoning.
