Looking at the SEC schedule

I agree with a lot of you, somewhere around 9-9 will hopefully be the worst case scenario. What would that get us maybe 8-10 seed?

What sucks is getting your best recruit ever and having one of your worst seasons.

Biggest question is do we think Barnes coaches another couple of years while the youngsters not going into the draft develop and we have another legit shot at a tournament run?

I still think 10-8 is the floor and would wager 11-7 is where we end up. The SEC is overall not that great. Florida was not your typical “unranked” team. They’re 12th on KenPom.

Florida is a bad matchup for us. I think we’ll protect home court this year, lose 5 more road games, and scrape two road wins from South Carolina and Miss State.

Unranked in football now unranked in basketball. Who knows what baseball holds.

You don’t think we will lose at home? I do.

1-17….is that how it works after an ugly loss in a conference road game?

It's not the loss. I'm hardly one to overreact, but there are some really disturbing trends with this group that there doesn't appear to be much progress in fixing. It's really simple - if you routinely waste possessions and have trouble hitting FT's, it's going to be really hard to beat good teams. I assumed that they would begin to really jell in league play.

They're talented and deep enough to be at worst a 20-22 win, first weekend type team, but to expect more than that there has to be some efficiency and valuing of possessions, and certainly some serious improvement at the FT line.

The question is can those improvements happen or is what we see exactly what this group is about?

They did get curb stomped at UF last year, but this is a very different team with issues that I don’t think wil see a lot of resolution.

I agree with 11-7 . . . As a best case scenario.

The conference is not as strong as last year, but I also don’t think 9-9 is an unreasonable look at it.

I adjust my thought.

This team finishes 8-10. Chances are pretty good they are sitting at 2-5 by Tuesday after next.

Playing at Bama has been a house of horrors for UT even when we are really good . . .

UGA is good this year and this team looks pretty soft overall . . . But especially on the road.

Vols will be fine. BartTorvik has them favored in about 7 SEC games in a row with upcoming schedule after next couple.
