Yankee promised to be back at it starting with the Vandy game.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Both teams will be out of their misery soon. This basketball season has sucked.

 

[edyeary]

But they've been fun to watch.......at least at home.

Yep, and the future doesn't look any better

 

[Lefteye]

Yep, and the future doesn't look any better

Says you, eeyore.

 

[FleeceItOut]

Yep, and the future doesn't look any better

How are you drawing that conclusion?

 

[MphsBlues]

LOVE the thread title... We are all rebels here...

 

[tonybologna]

I know we're back at home but I still think we lose another one. I'll say Razorbacks 78 Vols 74. Is Punter out again? Might change my score if Punter is to play.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Would be our worst loss so far.

 

[tonybologna]

Would be our worst loss so far.

Losing to Arkansas would be our worst loss? No way! Not even close! Mizzou was our worst loss. At least in conference play. Probably overall worse loss too. Nebraska was a bad loss too but not in the conference.

Arkansas isn't good on the road, they're 1-9 on the road, Lost 78-46 @ miss st. Mizzo was on the road.

Recruiting compared to the rest of the SEC

 

[tonybologna]

Arkansas isn't good on the road. Lost 78-46 to miss st. Mizzo was on the road.

Still wouldn't be our worst loss buddy. Compare records to the teams that we've lost to & you'll see why this wouldn't be one of our worst losses. Doesn't matter about home & away records. Arkansas is a decent team. They are better than Mizzou & we lost to them so you can put Mizzou above Arkansas as the worst loss already even if we do lose to the Razorbacks.

Losing to Arkansas at home would be our worst lost for sure

They are even worse than we are on the road

I just wonder how many SEC coaches lose their jobs by the end of March --

Ark only 1 IMO

Vandy going to play themselves into tourney


Edit: I am an idiot for forgetting lsu

 

[508mikey]

Ark only 1 IMO

I wonder about Ole Miss and LSU - both have bad game coaches

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Mark Fox better get some wins real quick. In 7 years his best results are going 21-12 twice.

 

[BruinVol]

I wonder about Ole Miss and LSU - both have bad game coaches

Oh yea lsu for sure. How the hell did I miss that one


Ole miss is fine

 

[secking]

Ark only 1 IMO

Vandy going to play themselves into tourney

LSU is possible and Ga is likely.

 

[BruinVol]

LSU is possible and Ga is likely.

Lsu appears to be a lock to me

Georgia went to the NCAA last year correct?

I doubt they would make a change after that but perhaps I am wrong

 

[tonybologna]

Losing to Arkansas at home would be our worst lost for sure

They are even worse than we are on the road

It would not be going by teams records guys. Mizzou is still our worst loss period. Look at their record. Doesn't matter where it was played. We're talking about team records fellows. Arkansas has the better record & has a better team period than Mizzou. Can you'll not see that?

I don't care if this Arkansas game is at home. They are a better team than Mizzou & you could also put Miss. State & Auburn on that list too. They all 3 are below Arkansas in the SEC: Southeastern Conference Standings - College Basketball - ESPN

I'd still go with Mizzou or TCU. Ark has more talent than both of those teams. I'm surprised Anderson hasn't done more there.

Thank you. You see what I see. Someone that has some sense! Apparently some others don't. I totally forgot about the TCU loss too. That might be the worst loss besides Mizzou. Nebraska was a bad loss early in the season but Nebraska has improved quite a bit & had a decent season even though they won't make the NCAA tourney.
