re: Dawgs Basketball Season Thread // 22-9 (10-8) // Next: SECT Thursday 7PM vs OM/TX winner

Lol past decades? SEC as whole sucked pretty much every year outside of 4 teams up until like Pearl got to AU


What a dweeb take

So it looks like in the tourney that we play the winner of Texas vs Ole Miss.Then the winner of our game plays Arkansas. Pretty decent scenario considering. We could make a nice run in the tourney.

What on earth?

100% agree. The players got better after the Oklahoma game. Maybe it was a “wake up” call. This is now 3 straight seasons where White’s team has played well down the stretch. Hopefully we take that next step as a program and win a few more games this year.

Historically a terrible take. SEC being good at basketball outside of one or two teams at a time is a recent thing.

Our out of conference strength of schedule finished at 294th in the country

If we played Auburns out of conference schedule we would likely be with them on the outside looking in.

I’m not taking anything away from this team. If you’ve been in this thread since the beginning, you will see I’ve cheered on the team every single game and never gave up on the team, unlike a lot of you all did after a bad stretch…the same as many of you all do during the football season.

I’m simply trying to settle expectations about the records we set. Just because we got the most wins in history and most ppg in history, doesn’t mean we are going to go as far in the NCAA tournament we have in history (final 4).

I’ve said it all season, if we can hit the 3s we take and make FTs this is a really good team (see yesterday’s stats on the road).

If we win 2 in the SECT, I think we move into a 6 spot…maaaaybe even with 1 win depending on how chips fall. Much more favorable than the 7 slot

Did we only play an out of conference schedule

No….

your whole message is insane

Okay….

I never said anyone was…just settling expectations of this Jekyll and Hyde team.

You don’t need to constantly do it after every game. We get it, we’re not going to win the whole thing but you don’t have to remind us every time something good happens. shite gets old real quick.

I don’t do it after every game, but unlike most people ITT, I don’t shite on our team and act like the UGA world is collapsing after a loss….ahem

don’t remember anyone seriously saying we were going to do damage in the tournament.

Lot of people ITT talking about winning 2 games in the tournament. Again, could we, sure!, but realistically as a 7,8,9 seed it’s not probable. If we can play our way to a 6 seed here, then it becomes more likely depending on the matchup. Just like I said pre Bama game that we really matchup well against them…same as the comments I made about being matched up with a good Illinois team that I think we can beat.

But I also am not going to go stroke it cause we had a good record OOC and finishing tied for 7th in the SEC.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and God bless

Yea, they don’t like when a UGA team meets or exceed expectations. They also don’t have a rational understanding of our teams either. Makes for a miserable experience. Not sure why people do that to themselves
