The Missouri at Texas loser will have a hard time getting to the double bye group.

Vandy is pushing A&M out of the 7 closest to getting the 4x double bye spots right now.

Tennessee and Bama don’t deserve a double bye if either loses at home today (to USCjr and LSU).

We might not want the double bye if it means facing Florida in the SECT semis as the #4 seed.

Kentucky is asleep early at Florida.

32-17

HEY OP, FIX MIZZOU’S CONFERENCE RECORD.

They are 7-4 in conference OP. Not 6-5.

Weird. I changed it a while ago. Must not have clicked the SAVE button.

I don’t know why BO Captain chose that comment to make a point, but catching Florida from 2 games back is a huge challenge. However they still have to face KY twice along with Arkansas and Texas.

Just finish strong and not worry about it. Arkansas or Florida will win league. This is tournament sport anyways.

Florida is nowhere close to last year Florida. If Ament does not get that second foul late in first half we are right there with them going into the half. Ament is a different player now than back then as well.

This will be an entertaining last 3 weeks. A lot of movement will go on for 2-4.

Predictions about our record for the stretch?

It’s fixing to get challenging again. 3 of 6 games versus the 8-4 group tied for 3rd, at 7-5 Missouri, and then two teams that have only won 5 games combined.

Oklahoma (3-9)
at Vanderbilt (8-4)
at Missouri (7-5)
Alabama (8-4)
at USCjr (2-10)
Vanderbilt (8-4)

4-2 would be pretty good. 5-1 is close to winning a regular season title, but 6-0 with a lot of help is far more realistic.

2 difficult road games. Two home games versus very good teams. Good thing that of the 2 bottom feeders, OK comes here.

 

[GBO18]

5-1 should be expected. Win home games and win 2 of 3 on the road. 4-2 more likely though.

I’m guessing 4-2. But you never now with opponents knocking down 3s while UT goes cold for extended stretches. 6-0 or 5-1 would be very Barnes-like.

As long as Ament doesn’t get in foul trouble and refs call the fouls on defenders that can’t slow him down otherwise, it will be a good finish to the regular season.
