Acuff is playing a lot of hero ball for sure and putting up big numbers

but it kind of feel like he has to for Arky to win those big games

Signing an NBA basketball player and having a booster judge write a temporary restraining order so bama could attempt to match Auburn in final four appearances is the definition of racing to the bottom.

there is no one lower than alabama. W/L records be damned.

There's such a log jam at 2 and none of us have showed any finish

I think it's pretty clear Florida is taking this, we are playing for SEC tournament byes at this point

LSU and South Carolina are at the bottom this is old news. Oklahoma got a big win to move to three wins! Good on ya Okies!

But the big thing to watch in the final five games is the Ole Miss Factor

Chris Beard was a hot coaching prospect who came to Ole Miss and got them to the Sweet 16 in year 2. Everything was pointing up! Then this season happened and now everything is pointing down. Way down. And after losing to Oklahoma they are in threat of losing tie breakers and claiming the crown of the SEC worst team.

I highlight Ole Miss in this weeks novel because after hosting Florida in what is expected to be a blood bath (just jinxed you gators) they HOST LSU next Wednesday. And they host host South Carolina in the final game of the season.

In this upcoming game LSU will be off hosting Alabama who just went to 2 OTs and have been playing a bit up and down, though the Tide will be favored LSU could steal a big upset here.

South Carolina with a great opportunity to get the third win against State before hosting a wounded animal Kentucky who is sick of being called a bubble team.

Okie with a great opportunity for a fourth win in hosting flailing Texas A&M and then a rapidly falling Auburn though the Barners have lost all margin for error and could be out for blood in the final five games.

So the bottom quarter of the bracket shows four teams with only 2 or 3 wins and plenty of opportunity for them to collect wins against each other. It's the final 50 ft of free fall before basketball season is over for these teams.

In
Kentucky
Auburn
Georgia (that Kentucky win probably changed the season)
Missouri (tough slate but I think they figure it out)

Out
Texas
Texas A&M

Billy got the ball rolling but it's really just good hiring

basketball programs can rise and fall based on who's in charge because the turnover is so quick even before transfer portal. Since 2000 they have the most successful head coach in that time frame and a guy who built a championship program in 3 seasons

it's all about hiring and they've hit blackjack twice

It's just insane to me that the SEC last year was the biggest conference in the land with so many great teams and this year it is pretty clear that there's one true contender and the rest of us are just hoping to get a Sweet 16

But of the contenders not named Florida I think Arky is the only one with potential for a run past Sweet 16

You woke up and wrote a Harry Potter novel on a LSU website with an unranked Gump team who will be banned from the NCAAT

There are people with no lives and then there are Gumps.

That 35 point loss to Indiana is still, clearly, fresh.

and I'm going to title this one Race to the Bottom and the Half Blood Gump

Imagine having a pro basketball player on your team and still being unranked

Rohhhh Tahd!

one day we may be ranked again NFLSU

I can only hope and pray

Just so you know, none of us care if we finish last. We actually want to finish last because we'll get an actual decent coach as a result.

That should be easier to accomplish than winning!
