Preseason filler completely removed - stats only based on season to date.







- Auburn is the most complete team in the league to date : #18 in offense, #17 in defense.

- Alabama is the best offensive team in the country and the 3rd worst defense team in the SEC.

- Alabama plays #2 Arizona, #3 Purdue and #6 Creighton in an 11 day stretch (1 road, 1 neutral, 1 road neutral).

- After a nice start to the year on offense State has settled into looking like prior year State again.

- Tennessee a little worse defensively and a little better offensively than past years.

- The games between Alabama, Kentucky and Texas A&M are going to be races to 125.

- Vanderbilt is going to do the thing where they enter SEC play with a NET of 227 and then go 8-10 in league play

- Arkansas is kind of a mess, but they seem to do this every year and March comes around and they are clicking.

- South Carolina is playing solid basketball and not a fluke.

- Ole Miss is a bit of a fluke in terms of their record vs their quality of play, but still much improved from before and finding ways to win close games is a talent.

- LSU is bad

- I don't know what to make of Florida or Missouri

- Georgia is competitive and has a decent resume to date.

Can be a really great team. Probably the best depth Bruce has had. Just need consistency.

What Paris has done in one off-season is astounding. He's got a rock-solid team that plays smart basketball. They're a little light on getting to the rim, and are a better shooting team than we've had in a long time. But they can play, and when they're hitting their shots, they're taught to beat.

We are likely a much better than than last year but it's entirely possible we will have a worse record. The SEC is just so damn tough.

I am proud of OOC wins over wake, FSU, and tech so far. Gave Oregon and Miami a decent fight as well.

It’s really unbelievable what they did to Will Wade. Serves them right to be terrible after the way they mistreated him.

When is the last time our defense has been this bad? We have been putrid on defense, almost hard to watch.

Been impressed with their competitiveness. Good for them to finally have something to be excited for early on.

If they finish out winning the games they are supposed to they will be in a good spot entering SEC play. No bad losses, some solid wins, non-blowout losses to good teams.

Hopefully our defensive efficiency improves headed into conference play.

Some good opportunities still to grab some potential wins in the OOC with UNC and Gonzaga.

With strategically placed cameras along with dumbass coaches doing stupid things in front of them at shootarounds there’s no way we don’t make another final four run!

Makes zero sense that we are ranked higher than Baylor. I don't care if its computers or efficiency metrics or what the frick ever.

My thing is, Muss needs to get shite together and stop with this mediocre basketball and then turning it on in January to March. We can’t keep relying on that and plus it affects our seeding.
