is the best we've ever seen it top to bottom. Currently 19-1 with the only loss coming last night from Vandy losing at Belmont while shooting like 29%. Several of the teams look top 10ish good. Florida, Texas A&M and Missouri being those. Arkansas, Auburn, Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama look top 25ish good. Ole Miss, Georgia and South Carolina look top 40ish. That leaves MSU, Vandy and LSU to try to stay from being the three bottoms. I think the league is so deep that 9 teams could make the tourney this year or 9 will be deserving. We really need to figure out how to get the Hump rocking again. Only way we are going to have a shot to make the tourney is with a totally sold out Hump and never losing a game there. We have 9 SEC home games. We need all 9 to be sell outs. Can that get accomplished?

only chance we got is if we can somehow make the Hump the toughest place to play in the SEC. It can be done. We need to turn it into a place of fear for opponents. Dim the lights, raise the noise and pack it to the rafters for nine games. We have control over our home atmosphere. We are good enough to win all the OOC games (save Dayton maybe) without needing a packed Hump but the SEC is too nasty this year for us to win ANY games at home without a full house rocking as loud as possible. I hope we can accomplish nine sellouts this year in basketball. That is my expectations for this year. Not on wins or losses but on home SEC sellouts. 9-0 baby!!
