Just a vet team that knows how to win games in the clutch. You can tell they've been there before. I don't know if there's a clear NBA player on that team, but there's a bunch of guys on the fringe and they make winning plays when they need to.

Reminds me of the 2013-2014 UF team that went 21-0 and made the final four with no clear NBA players

No, Bama plays you in TBA this week. There’s no way in hell we should have a prayer of even staying in that game. And it’s exactly the type of game that Avery pulls out of his arse which is why you should be afraid and on upset alert. We are the most dangerous opponent on your schedule because we are the most unlikely to beat you. You have been warned.

Definitely possible. They are the clear cut #1 in the conference and are just insanely balanced.

@ Rupp @ AU and @ Ole Miss will all be very tough.

KenPom has Tennessee favored in every game but a projected record of 15-3.

The one thing that really helps them is they have so many options. 6 guys who are very high quality players and are capable of 15+ any night. Alexander and Bone carried the load against Mizzou with a combined 31 and 22 and then had 8 points combined tonight. Bowden is playing the best basketball of his career off the bench and then you have Williams, Schofield and Turner who you essentially know what you’re getting every night as long as they’re not in foul trouble.

UT is fun to watch. Deep team that can bang inside or kill you with the outside shot.

Yeah that won’t be easy either. I think the early tip time should help Tennessee some but it will be a tough test.

LSU has clear defensive issues. Tennessee will carve them up

UF beat Arkansas on the road, too. Arkansas isn't good; don't get confident because you beat them

We do, but we can score. We're still developing.

They seriously may be the best team in the country. Well coached, disciplined, and hustle on defense. They don’t seem to beat themselves. They may slip up a time or two on the road, but I agree they are far and away the best SEC team at this point.

Probably not, the odds of any team going undefeated in conference are low, but they've got a shot. They're clearly the best team and have avoided stinkers
