The way Hubbard is playing, and both of these next two teams proclivity for avoiding defense like the plague, we have a legit shot at 2-0.

It wont be easy but this is as beatable as Big Blue has been in awhile. They def havent gelled yet.

All I know is a winning streak is a helluva lot better than a losing streak and they on the right kind right now.

Getting 1 of next 2 would be good but both? Well, that is a level I never thought I would see this year for sure.

Say anything you like but Jans is doing some work and the players are buying into it.

We can bet the house both KY and Bama will blanket Josh. We'll need others to step up and show out if we're to continue winning.

Hate that Sergej sprained his ankle. That hurts us offensively with him out. We played good D and OU was suffocated, but UK and Bama will score points. We can't have empty possession because Josh is doubled 30 feet from the basket and Jones is sitting open in the corner for 3 being ignored by all 9 other players.

Jans probably done his best job to date. This team has totally bought in and you see what happens when you do. There is talent but other things can be so much bigger than talent. We got something cooking right now. UK is beatable even at Rupp. Win that one and anything is possible at home.

You would assault someone if you knew how much Jones makes in NIL....lol

Is Fleming getting those minutes? Asking because once Sergej is back, we will have developed our freshmens really well.

Why do you think I'm so ****ing angry in the game threads about him? I'm not treating him as a walk-on playing hard. He's paid like an SEC starter and plays like he belongs in intramurals and scout team. Great effort and hard work building a house when I said I just want him to build a fence. All brick and no perimeter.

We had him down below 20 mimitos in our best game of the year against Alabama State. That's the rotation that thrives. Good defensive spurts with steady 80+ offense.

I somewhat agree, but he was freaking outstanding last night. He defended his butt off

The kiss of death.....it will be classic Miss State to be held to season lows in all offensive categories.........

This is the way. Jones plays for 15-17 minutes a game. Anything over that gets us in trouble.

Yea but that's an anomaly. OU shot really poorly for the first half when they had open looks. Bama and UK won't go that cold. I'm trying to talk myself into not melting at losses the next two games because it doesn't undo the vast progress this team has made.

Also being in ****ing Wisconsin having that game during the Packers Bears game is annoying.

Isn't it the truth. Been a thorn my whole life it seems. Some nameless 17er goes off against us in the game and crushes his career single game stats. In every sport.

We have to have others step up. Josh is going to get blanketed. They will force us to get production from others.

Epps scored 27 vs Texas. He just had an off night vs OU. He is Robin this season and has to have some good nights for us to be successful

Going to Rupp when Cats are coming off not only 1 loss but 0-2 In SEC. The will take out their frustrations on our Dogs unfortunately. Prob get all the calls as well. Not to mention the RAT that will go for 30.

And Bama at the Hump will be tough as well. We just don't match up with them and their style of play.

This. Was at the OK game. He makes hustle plays and plays good "D", but we are playing 4-on-5 on "O" when he is a starter or getting too many minutes. JMO.
