Yea, he needs leaders on the floor to keep Cyril emotions in check, calm guys down so they are not just running up the floor and jacking up 3s when a team goes on a run. Seen it from Cain a little and Wilkinson a couple of times but they need to step it up with the leadership and talking to guys. Those two do it more with their play and seem like quite guys. They need to be speaking up more.

This team is not fools gold as others have said or remotely like any teams of the past. This team is extremely talented and deep but Wilkins and Stagg are freshmen. Wilkinson, Smurf and Catchings are all new. Really Cain and Cyril were the only two with meaningful minutes. When this team starts to gel they are going to be dangerous.

Nope. Not at all. Much better product and very good guards that would start for other teams. Been a while since we’ve been able to say that.

Yeah, the pieces are there. The defense has been awful as well as the rebounding. Good to see Catchings step up today and have an elite defensive game today. If he breaks out, we’ll be a legit threat. Also good to see Blue play with confidence in the 2nd half. Hopefully his 3 point shooting will come alive soon!

As frustrating as it was to watch them lose that lead with sloppy play, to right the ship and run away with it was fun to watch and encouraging to see the team’s leadership and grit grow

Very solid much needed win, the loss to Ole Miss hurts but this was a nice bounce back
Next 4 games
@ Mizzou
@ Texas
Tennessee
Texas A&M
If we can go 3-1 during that stretch we'll be feeling real good entering Feb6

dawg7730 conspicuously absent after a big win. Will undoubtedly be back on the next loss.
It's annoying that we are THIS close to being 4-1 and tied for the SEC lead but whatever. I guess if given the choice between loss to OM and W over Arkansas or the opposite, even though that scenairo would be chalky and more expected I'd probably take this one. Getting a ranked win is never gonna hurt you in March.
Man if we go 3-1 there just hand us a ticket to the dance already. That is a tough stretch. We don't play super great on the road and all 4 of those teams could make a case to be our equals in some capacity. In other words there aren't any SC or LSU's where you say "ok we're definitely better and should absolutely win". Honestly I'd probably expect 1-3 in that stretch but will hold out hope for 2-2.

Why in the hell are we going to Austin two years in a row?!?
Posted on 1/18/26 at 8:13 am to Floyd Dawg
When the schedules came out that was my first immediate thought as well since obviously we have played there for football baseball and basketball already. But they do also play in Athens this year so I guess it's sort of cancels out
Posted on 1/18/26 at 12:56 pm to WG_Dawg
It would help me to look at the schedule. I thought our home/away pairings were set in stone annually. Clearly not.

Staying at 21 in the AP, meanwhile Florida and Clemson moved up some more good news for our quality losses.
Arkansas also staying in the top 25 helps

5 games(3-2)is a small sample size for the SEC season but I think it is probably out how we do overall in the SEC. If we keep winning the game we should; I think we will end up around 10-8 in the SEC. When we started fast before, we have hit points in the SEC season where we have a lull. Could be our best men's basketball season since 2002-2003.

First half summary:
1) Refs ain’t calling shite
2) neither team can hit a field goal
Dawgs lead by 3 at half

Blue Cain is one of the dumbest shot selectors I’ve ever seen.
Posted on 1/20/26 at 9:43 pm to RedPants
Stupid arse shots everywhere
Posted on 1/20/26 at 9:46 pm to RedPants
Goes for 20 vs Arkansas and has been virtually worthless tonight. Dylan James also worthless. Only reason our 26% beyond the arc isn’t getting us beat by double digits on the road is because Mizzou is shooting 24%. But we are getting destroyed on FGs; bricking low percentage shots from deep and then not finishing the runs at the rim they do actually take.

Cain air ball. Not even close to the basket.
Some night this team shoots worst than an 8th grade girls team.
