It’s been a very good season. We’ve won a lot of games.

It would be very surprising. Just feels like two years ago when Clemson ran us off the floor.

We might be able to squeak out a win in the 1st round, but would need help in the second. If we’re a 6-7 seed, we’d need that 2 or 3 to lose in the first round.

I don’t agree with it feeling like two years ago. This team is still solid and competes. They can beat anybody on a neutral floor and I think will find more with our backs against the wall.

This team definitely overachieved this year. I'm afraid most of that overachievement is behind us now.

I could honestly see three straight losses and the season being over.
That would equate to 6 straight losses if we fall at Tennessee this weekend. Ouch

They are fighting for their NCAA tournament lives. That will be tough.

I thought it’d be 5? UK, A&M, UT, SECT, and NCAAT.

When would you say we peaked?... we haven’t played a complete 40 minute game since... maybe state to open sec play?

When we beat Arkansas, Kentucky, and LSU back to back to back. Since then, even our wins feel like losses. 24 wins is damn impressive for this roster no matter what they do in the tourney.

We'll win Saturday. Then we'll beat the Vols again in Nashville.

I didn't get to watch the game can anyone give a recap? Just looking at the box score looks like turnovers hurt us and shooting 30 3s

we are careless with the ball and we have far too many poor shots and bad possessions. Couple that with average shooting from the perimeter and we could lose to almost anyone. It is a wonder we've won as many games as we have.

Vols are a great matchup for us. They're offensively challenged and a terrible rebounding team. Can't let Bowden go for 30 again

We played poorly. A&M made some clutch shots. When we found momentum the refs took it from us either with bad calls or no calls. When we took the lead in the 2nd half on a 8-0 run the refs called 2 tech's one our bench and one one Bruce which turned a 8-0 run into an 8-4 run and a 1 point lead into a 3 point deficit. IMO if they don't call those techs we were about to get the game to a nice lead and based on the rest of the 2nd half likely would have won the game.

Not sure if it’s been covered but JT Thor was at last night’s game AND Ole Miss last week. Says he will OV and wants to make a decision in April.

Likes the energy at Auburn games and that Auburn is losing plenty of forwards this off season

Did Nebo bully Wiley last night? Looks like he kinda took over in the second half.

We had significant 2nd half deficits in all three... we pulled two of those out of our asses, and needed 45 FTs to win the other.

That’s not peaking.

We actually peaked at the end of November. Haven't played at that level since.

Seemed like Nebo got most of his production when Wiley was out, but he definitely got the better of Austin at times with his athleticism.

Yeah, peaking is what we were doing before the 2nd half against New Mexico. It's been helter skelter ever since. Sure, we were playing shitty defenses, but we were running an offense, hitting shots, defending without fouling, and had a lot of confidence. We played like crap against Richmond. They just played worse.
