We do have a clue. They've not played well in several games. Even the ones that we've won, DK has had to be superman. The Vols haven't had a real team effort in some time.

The Vols will go as far as Vescovi and James and ZZ and Aido take them. DK can't do it all. There's little evidence that more than one at a time will step up.

If you've ever played sports then you know how huge momentum is in sports, confidence too. And you should realize how difficult it is to reobtain it both are once you lose it.

No we don’t have a clue. No two games have anything to do with others. Houston has been stomping everyone. What happened? They got stomped. Look at the best teams in the nation. Perdue will only go as far as Edy takes them. Houston will only go as far as Sheed. UCONN with Newton.

The point is when you have a superstar, it’s usually on them to carry a team. While DK can’t do it all, he is the SECPOTY and one of the best players in the nation. He is expected to be great on a nightly basis. And he usually is. Also, there have been games where DK has been off and the other guys have stepped up.

Sorry but you are just using hyperbole to strengthen your weak argument.

In the win at Bama, DK only had 13 points. At USC, Aidoo had 14 and 9, ZZ had 13, 7, and 5, and JJJ had 6 and 6.

But send me those lottery numbers when you get a chance.

Committee can scream Kenpom, NET, Quad1 wins, Quad 2 wins, bad Quad 3 losses.and all that other bs. In the end these guys are human and HTH does matter.

Especially when it comes to giving out one of last 4 top seeds and the difference is razor thin, as the experts state..

Your problem is relying on the “experts.”

That’s not exactly true…they are young guys that had a couple let down games after clinching the sec championship….. They will now rest and get a fresh start…. Been plenty of teams go on a run after similar situations.

Young guys! They're older than baldbiker.

Aidoo had 11 and 8, JJJ had 8 and 10, ZZ had 17 and 9.

UK and MSU were totally different losses. UK shot 50% from 3. MSU beat us in the paint. You also said “in some time.” Not my words.

Lol. 2 games represents 4% of the season. It's trending down. Paint whatever picture you like but the trend is down. Someone will be right. I like my chances. I do hope I'm wrong though.

Facts are facts however it trends.

We were trending down after Purdue, Kansas, and UNC in consecutive games.

it was just a quote from what the steelers said about the situation… It was also why pickett requested a trade…. They said that he could compete for the job but Wilson was taking the first… first team reps…. He was pissed and wanted out….. Good riddance.

Idk, all I read was "Fields will not compete for the starting job vs Wilson." Haven't paid attention to any of it really.

Only Uconn cared about their conference tourney apparently 😅

Here's the thing though, UNC REALLY wanted that ACC title. Fans and donors have been critical of Coach Davis since he was hired (you can guess why) despite all of his success. They've yet to win an ACC tourney title under him. They really wanted it. Personally, I hope it stings them and I hope it affects them in the tournament.

BUT they are North Carolina. Basketball royalty. In the end that will tip the scales, or they will jump Iowa State over both NC and UT.

Anything the NCAA can do to stifle parity, they are for. Sort of awkward that UNC is on the selection committee, but not a single talking head has mentioned it, to my knowledge.
