Mizzou about to get cooked like Texas Brisket.Get a nice win while undermanned and you have to turn around and play a team that‘s won 6 of its last seven games and mauled a good Miss State team at The Hump today then on to OU and Kentucky.
The quality of the SEC is something else.
Mizzou has been very good on the road. I trust we’ll beat them but wouldn’t take them lightly.Mizzou about to get cooked like Texas Brisket.
The good news is that every SEC team has to go through the gauntlet. It evens out.
I think the toughest part is mostly behind us. (At Florida and Auburn, at Illinois) I just don’t think State has enough to win even at home. Im fine with losing to OU then winning at Rupp. If I had to choose one to drop.
It is but its the sign of the times. There are literally hundreds of BB athletes coming out of the HS systems each year. Lotsa players for lota teams.Get a nice win while undermanned and you have to turn around and play a team that‘s won 6 of its last seven games and mauled a good Miss State team at The Hump today then on to OU and Kentucky.

You’re only as good as your next game in this league. If you rest on your laurels plan on taking a L your next game.Get a nice win while undermanned and you have to turn around and play a team that‘s won 6 of its last seven games and mauled a good Miss State team at The Hump today then on to OU and Kentucky.

Yep, which makes what Auburn is doing more impressive. I didn’t realize they have 5 5th year seniors. That’s unbelievable in today’s game. No wonder they’re so good. I don’t think they’ll win it all but they’ll be a heavy favorite to do so. Duke won’t have the luxury of getting them at Cameron again. Some team will get hot at the right time in the tourney and beat them. Maybe us? We don’t even have to be “hot” to beat them, just efficient and play our usual defense. Thats true against any opponent for us. If we hit 30% from 3 against anyone and they’ll struggle to beat us.This is the best any conference has ever been.
So true…and it’s from top to bottom. The Vols will either be extremely battle tested or extremely exhausted(or both) by SEC tournament time. I personally like our competition to be like this. I’ve been following SEC for many years and this is by far the strongest I can remember. And the coaching is exceptional as well!You’re only as good as your next game in this league.

Auburn is also 12-1 in Quad One games. That’s insane. The way it’s shaping up, they will be the overall #1 seed in the Dance.Yep, which makes what Auburn is doing more impressive.

No way they lose more than 3. I don’t think they lose more than 2 in the regular season. They have back to back road games at Bama and Vandy. Outside of that it’s hard to see where losses will come from. Say they split that pair and drop one more they shouldn’t and that’s it. Unless Bama beats them both games Auburn will win the SEC and likely pretty easily.I originally thought the winner of the conference may have up to five losses, but now I’ll be surprised if Auburn loses more than three games in SEC play.
It’s crazy. The only competition for that overall 1 seems to be Duke. Auburn would have to have 2 more losses than Duke for Duke to be the overall 1 seed though as the resumes aren’t going to be close by season end. Even with 2 more losses, which won’t happen, it’s a coin flip.Auburn is also 12-1 in Quad One games. That’s insane. The way it’s shaping up, they will be the overall #1 seed in the Dance.

We will likely either be a 2 or a 3 when all is said and done. Outside shot at a 1 and a 4. We need to avoid additional home losses as it’s reasonable to expect more on the road. I think we finish 11-7 in conference play. I was thinking a 3 seed but if we only have 7 losses heading into the SEC tourney I don’t see how we would be that low. That should be worthy of a 2 given the ridiculousness that is the SEC.The Selection Committee releases their in-season Top 16 seeds on Feb. 15. I expect us to be on the #2 line, but a lot could change over the next two weeks.
