I’m going to say we drop @Mizzou, @UK, and @Tennessee. It’s hard to win on the road and we’re due for a little regression

I think you’re right about Mizzou and UK. I have to swap for Ole Miss at home for @UT though. Bruce gets his teams up for that game.

I haven't watched Mizzou this year. Do they have quick guards? That is my only concern with other teams.

They took LSU to the wire on the road, but LSU lets everybody play close it seems.

I agree. I think we lose may 2 more, both on the road.

I think Pearl hit it on the head. If we don't start playing better, these close ones and OTs are going the other way.

I think our first loss in a while comes at Mizzou, who is playing much better...and without Okoro...

If we go 14-4 I think we get at least a shared SEC title.

Bruce is sitting around 112 games and 57%ish win % in games decided by under 5pts in the KenPom era. That's clearly very good w a large sample size

-4. Bammer's a -1 against LSU.

Adjusted to 5.5. For all you "we're gonna lose" folks.

Them being out 2 to 3 starters certainly helps our cause. Still have to make shots on the road though.

Feels like we'll need Samir to get 30 or more. Maybe danjel can help with the contributions more too

I don't see Kentucky losing 2 more which is what is needed for 14-4 to get at least a share of the regular season title.

The good thing is throughout that diagram of names we can look forward to the natural drawing of our eyes upon both red circles because surely Bruce will be in one of those.

That's why I just said where he lands on there.

Interested to see how we defend the 3. They shot really bad against Arkansas last Saturday. Florida and Georgia gave them an infinite amount of open looks, and they went 12-19 and 10-23. They don't really have a big that can stretch us out except Mitchell Smith, and they like to bring him off the bench. McLemore needs to stay out of foul trouble.

I love him, but at times he is like a bull in a china shop.

I don't think we have to worry about the 3 against Mizzou. They don't shoot it. I think they are near the bottom in attempts.
But they play good defense, and a lot of movement on offense.

"For Missouri, Jeremiah Tilmon and Mark Smith are both out for today's game, Martin said. Junior guard Dru Smith has also been playing with an ankle injury the last few games which has caused him visible discomfort but has not seemed to affect his play. He did not practice Thursday in order to give his ankle a break, according to Martin, but will play today."

Tilmon hasn't played since the 4th, and Smith Jan 28th, so it's not like these are sudden injuries.
