I was partially joking, but that’s fair.

Seems like there is a lot more parity in the SEC this year. The only “gimmie game” teams are Ark, Vandy, and Mizzou, but the first two have shown they are capable of having good showings. Tough league, indeed.

State has key players out too


Hubbard was back pretty quickly (3-4 minutes out or so). Jeffries has not returned.

We've played well (haven't shot particularly well), but State has been pretty bad. It happens.

Cal’s best teams are ones he gets to buy in and play defense. This team is built to score 90 and hope that’s enough. It’s interesting to watch.
They also can't handle anyone who plays physical defense.

Yep - just gotta find ways to win those nights you aren't playing great against one of the middle tier teams.

I still think Tennessee is the best team in the league.

SEC basketball today is what ACC basketball used to be. There really aren't any gimmes.

It's really fun to watch as a fan. Not sure we have a national title contender (again), but a whole lot of good players and an insane roster of great coaches.

This team could be a title contender if they played even average defense, but they don't

For sure. Basketball season isn't much fun when you don't feel like you're playing quality teams. It's impressive how good things have gotten over the last decade.

Holy balls. 99 on MSU’s defense is insane.

Mostly off of defensive transitions. Didn't shoot very well actually

seriously wonder what we do during practice. You think they watch NBA highlights?

They play against our defense

That's why they can't stand getting bumped.

He's married to a playmate. Have to keep her from looking elsewhere.

Amen. There are 2-3 SEC games every Saturday and Tuesday/Wed that are worth tuning in for.

In 2006 there were 2-3 in a season.

He, Wagner and Sheppard are our best players, and we would be closer here with Wagner playing.
