Florida: Traded Mike White for natty.

Arkansas: Sweet 16 last year won SEC tourney this year.

Kentucky: Sweet 16 last year. Disappointing year this year .

Georgia: Back in the dance but coupled with embarrassing losses.

Short term loser: Kentucky but they will fire Pope and get someone better.

Long term loser: Georgia will be saddled with Mike White for years to come.

Oddly UK has done better with Pope than Cal of last several yrs but Cal has improved at Arky. UK still got a long way to go to get where they want to be.

Are we pretending Pope didn’t also get a Sweet 16 last year? Seems odd you wouldn’t mention that.

They are playing right now.

The answer is Auburn. Swapping Sr. for Jr. is a horrible idea. The breakup in a year or two is going to be ugly. I expect it to sully the relationship between Bruce Pearl and Auburn.
