Good run. We know what we are. We can score a lot. We are undersized. If we are off or the other team is long on the boards, we aren't going to win. We shouldn't get blown out. But we need to recruit some real bigs to round out the equation.

My hope? We can make tourney and get good matchups for a few rounds.

I think we're now facing long odds just making the Dance. Period. If we go dancing that's a hell of a first season

Love when a guy types out period followed by the dot period, then keeps typing more.

I'm thinking now we need to go 4-2 to make the tourney. (11-7 and 21-10) not sure if any weight is going to be given to our conf tourney.

3-3 from here could be dicey unless one of the wins is UK or @Ark.

Make it in and a few rounds isn't a ridiculous thought imo. Win your first tourney game and the round of 32 is a few rounds. Making it in is getting trickier by the day tho. There aren't any really easy games left. Beating Ole Miss is absolutely critical.

I hoped for a competitive team that played hard and was not embarrassed. My expectations have been exceeded, and the players and coaches deserve our support and praise.

You never know what you have until you open the box. Our expectation posturing is mostly silliness.

This is only true if you think our first eight conference games were a fluke or you think we're just going to continue the way we've played the last few games. We were really locked in for a few games, we've stumbled the last few in different ways, we'll find a level somewhere between those two and we should be fine.

Six games left, we're going to be favored in four of them. Another one is a toss up. Only one game left that you'd say is very unlikely we win.

The vibe is currently not great but we're still in very good shape. Torvik still has our odds at 90%.

Always was really unless we beat either Florida, Vandy, or Bama (or Tennessee) any of which would have been an upset.

Like technically no, you can lose that one and there's still a combination of not-individually-unlikely wins that would do the trick, but it would be the first loss that really put a major dent in our projection.

At that point you have to basically sweep the rest of our games except Arkansas.

What's funny though is I said on one thread way back in October or November I think that the way the schedule was laid out, there was a good chance that Aggies would get their inner most fantasy/nightmare. We might absolutely have to have the Texas game.

The last couple weeks we're seeing what Bucky repeatedly warned us about before the season. I'm ready to see this team keep fighting. Excited for the final push of the season.

Bobinator you notice they benched Lane for most of the 2nd half against vandy. He is not playing well. He needs to drive more. He has become too tentative. His size has become a problem against the good teams. They are playing Hill and he is playing well but it takes away from the overall strategy to spread the floor.

When Agee was playing well they had the floor spread with all great shooters and he was able to operate. With Hill he cant do that. They need to add Clemence to the starting 5 and bring Hill off the bench.

I still think we might be overreacting to bad offensive games against two VERY good defenses in Florida and Vandy. I'm not all that worried about our offense. It was very good against Alabama and very good against Mizzou.

It's the defense that's the problem, and that's where Lane has been really bad. But it's not like anyone be else has been markedly better to take his spot. Isaacs comes with his own risks.

This post reads like you're happy or relieved we now have to manage our expectations after a few losses after having high hopes, at least implicitly. Strange sentiment that I'm not following.

We are dancing in the committess mind we are 8-4. We've lost two games in OT and two others at the end. We will get our sea legs back there is always some adversity. I had us at 10-8 and 22-11 so that looks to be a pretty good pick. We were on a roll and our intramural team was succeeding now we are playing bigger teams but not making any shots.

Our requirements for victory
  • Dominguez needs to hit some shots
  • we need at least 4 guys in double figures
  • we have to be near perfect from the line
  • win the turnover battle
We can win losing the rebounding battle but if we arent hitting anything and also turning it over more we are in trouble. We need to hold serve our last 6 conference games.

Thankfully the SEC did have the national champ last year that helps with any credability issues.
