So if you average KenPom, SI and ESPN:

UK 6.3
UF 11
A&M 21
Bama 23.6
Auburn 38
South Carolina 49.6
Vanderbilt 52.6
Ole Miss 54.6
Tennessee 56
Arkansas 56.6
State 58.6
Georgia 59.3
Missouri 63.6
LSU 90


I think that just further shows that's really 5-13 in this league is a toss up, Auburn without their 2 players suspended would be much lower, so you've got 5-13 separated by about ~15 spots, pretty crazy. Gotta win the games that we play well in, meaning I don't think we can afford to blow those double digit leads like we did last season, need to find away to come away with wins in those games.

This.

I hope that our discipline late in games when we have the lead will be better than it was last season. We let our opponents back into some games last year by mismanaging the clock during our final possessions and giving up open looks to burn time and use up the shot clock late in the game. Drove me crazy when we'd keep doing that crap only to settle for a contested NBA range 3 pointer 12 seconds later.

Typical of any young team, though.

Bama's Braxton Key requiring surgery on torn meniscus. I believe these normally take at least 3 months to fully recover from.

That's a bummer, I loved his style of play. Reminded me a lot of Braxton Blackwell, an in-state player we recruited a couple of signing periods ago. What ever happened to Blackwell?

JMO. Not a blue blood program and with the FBI involved NCCA won't take a chance on getting investigated.

Makes sense, but always hard to predict since the NCAA makes decisions with no rhyme or reason

You think losing mpjr hurts them that bad? I had them picked around the same in the preseason, just wondering if that’s why you dropped them that far.
