Only if you don’t already have a tv subscription of some sort that includes SEC Network. If you’ve already got a subscription then you just login to that subscription through ESPN. Very simple process.

I'll go with Auburn there's a bit of a Memphis vibe going on with these Tigers, in terms of taking several returners from a non-NCAA tournament team and meshing them with a bunch of transfers and freshmen. Bruce Pearl has a tremendous amount of talent on his roster, including a lottery pick in freshman Jabari Smith and a former five-star recruit in North Carolina transfer Walker Kessler. Allen Flanigan, who's out until January with an Achilles injury, would have been my pick for SEC Player of the Year if healthy. Georgia transfer K.D. Johnson is a proven SEC scorer, and returnee Jaylin Williams is a double-figure scorer. There's a lot here for Pearl to work with, assuming Wendell Green Jr. emerges as a reliable point guard.

On the flipside, there are some questions. What if Green can't run the show consistently? What if Flanigan doesn't return? What if there are some growing pains with the newcomers? I don't necessarily see "disaster" in the Tigers' range of outcomes, but there are some things that can go wrong to the point where they end up being closer to a bubble team than a top-15 team.

Some notes on Morehead State

They were 23-8 (17-3) in the ovc last year and won the OVC tournament. They were beat by west virginia in the ncaa tournament. They are picked to finished second in the ovc this year. They return 6 of there top 9 players including the OVC freshman of the year Johni Broome.


Should be a good test. Auburn is still -15

-15 is a tough cover. Seems like a 7-10 point auburn win

I don't see us covering either. They're a defense heavy team with a good front court.

We've got a lot of new faces that will take time to get used to playing together. I expect us to win but it's going to be ugly at times

To me the pre conference schedule is so important this year. It could be the difference in a 7 and a 4 seed going into the the post season in my opinion. Not saying we have to go undefeated but coming out with wins against everyone we are supposed to beat is gonna be huge.

On one hand it's good that our OOC schedule isn't a murderer's row because it will be more forgiving to a team that has new faces at 4/5 starting positions and is missing its best returning player. But on the other hand it leaves less room for error. We can drop a few but if we drop too many then it's definitely going to impact seeding.

I had to stop myself from watching that more than 10 times.

On the non-perverted perspective it is evidence of a great AU basketball culture. Not suprising with Pearl of course but always good to see. I want AU basketball to sign the best players they can every year, but its also good we also sign a bunch of kids that will be around for 3-5 years.
