Wrong. The SEC is not very good this year. It's looking like a 3 team tournament bid this year.

Funny, that's not what the experts are saying. Most are saying improved league with possibly 8 tourney teams.

Do you know something these guys that get paid to do this don't know?

TJ you might be the most glass half full guy I have ever encounter on the interwebs.

Joe "Bracketology" Lunardi has 8 SEC teams.

It’s a very hard conference to read right now. The biggest thing is inconsistency. It’s baffling watching a team like the Gators play. Play Duke well, then crap the bed against Loyola.

Basically the whole conference to a T

Gators rebound from Ole Miss to tear Arkansas a new one last night, the good news is that # 5 was on fire for a change. Chiozza took a bad hit to the head and thank God he was ok after a while.

Allen getting hot would be great. He has been insanely quite this year. I think he is scared to take over games thinking he has to let everyone else play.

No.

Get yours young man. GET YOURSSSSSSS

Not responding just to you 08, but anybody heard when Igbunu is due to return? Is he even going to play this season?

We play to our opponents and it's infuriating.

The frustrating part is we don't adjust well in some games. At some point, if it's not working, you have to go at it differently. A lot of losses we seem to be trying to square peg a round hole and the offense isn't adjusting and going for different sets.

My vote is every time the team gets sluggish during a game, isolate Chiz. Force someone to stop him.

More roller coaster, we get handled by USC at home and then beat Baylor....and then USC loses their game with a lead and 1 minute left Chickens couldn't miss a 3 pointer against us Wednesday and couldn't buy one yesterday for crying out loud.

I was iffy on the White hire...last year helped me come around, but this year, and the lack of recruiting is kind of worrying me at this point. Auburn is 18-2 with no bigs, because they force their style of play.

We have as good a roster, yet we let opponents dictate pace. It's getting frustrating and I'm starting to wonder if he is the long term solution right now.

It's just bizarre how many teams suddenly figure out how to shoot threes against us, too. But without a real big or threat on the basket, we will continue to drop games we have no business dropping.

Seriously, every time we play a team we should beat we lose, but we can go up by 19 on Duke but can barely play against Georgia.

Eh white is a good coach but with the way the SEC is recruiting he may not make it due to his recruiting(has more to do with the type of player rather than ranking. Which I said was a concern when he was hired.

Hopefully it happens. Makes a huge difference when we’re getting decent play from the front court. The injuries have been tough.

Due to this team's size, or lack there of, they will live and die by the 3. Coach needs to recruit some big guys badly!

Its been a roller coaster ride...win big one game and the next we lose to a UGA or Ole Miss team.

We are winning with guard play and losing with guard play this year. Miss a 3 pointer and some players start doubting themselves. Miss two in a roll and you really don't have the same mojo as last week.
