Who is the top competition?

[BACKDOC]

As of now UK is a dumpster fire, but I'm sure they will improve a lot by the end of the season. I hear Arky is playing well. Anyways, for guys in the know, and have watched some of the other SEC teams play; who are the best teams in the SEC at this point?

 

[ricepatty]

Missouri and Arkansas look good. Alabama could be good but they are inconsistent. I would say we are tier 1 followed by Missouri and Arkansas. We should know more after the Missouri game.

I think Missouri is WAY overrated

Watchin' to find out.

Veteran team. 88% of scoring returned and 94% of the assists. High percentage of rebs as well.

Graphics department only giving UT credit for 4 wins...but Gonzaga five?
Bradley vs Mizzou...1-18 from three combined at the 5_30 mark of the first half.

88% of scoring from a team that couldn't score

I want so badly to root for Bradley but I know how important it is to Tennessee that Mizzou win this one.

If we just keep winning it won't matter much, especially with blowouts coming

"The Competition" is up only two against Bradley at the half, 21-19. A Cuonzo kind of game.

Mizzou is wicked bad offensively.......

They will struggle to score vs us I think. Martin is a good coach and they will try to be physical with us but in the end I don't think they've got enough offense to stay with the Vols.

I think it's us and then everyone else with Arkansas and KY being the next best 2.

You really think UK can pull it together? Dismissing (kinda) someone that only got 2 minutes in a loss for bitchassedness may be what they needed.

You can only hide young talent for so long. I think with the SEC being down they'll finish no worse than 3rd. It's possible that they struggle all season I just don't believe it until they do. They aren't very physical and that kills them, especially when they don't shoot it good.

Pace is picking up and it doesn't seem to bode well for Mizzou.

I think people are sleeping on Florida a bit. Losing Johnson hurts, but they still have a lot of talent. Fortunately, they have Mike White coaching them. Still, I wouldn't be shocked for them to be a top 3 team in the SEC, still.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Smith to the bench with four fouls....
...and a huge trey for Bradley...

 

[VolArmy74]

I really don't know if Missouri will score 40 against us. I could see it being a 50-38 win.

Mizzou is wicked bad offensively.......

I agree, when I’ve watched them. But I could see other bball fans saying the same about us.
As long as UTs defense travels, which it should, they should be fine next Wednesday.

I’m not man, I agree 100. They look solid

 

[Lefteye]

Arkansas shouldn’t be slept on either
