Bad day for our net... down to #40. Vandy's net combined with lots of our previous opponents losing wasn't good.
This week...
At #45 Florida

Agree, something seems odd though. We are one of only 3 SEC teams with 5 Quad 1 & 2 wins. We are 2-3 in quad 1 games and 3-? in quad 2.Quote:

Maybe one of these go our way today
Northwestern and Washington State losing didn't help at all. Georgia Tech lost yesterday and have now lost 6 of their last 7.
I personally think we miss out on the tournament this year. We play Auburn twice, still have Bama and Kentucky again, and we are too inconsistent offensively to count any other conference games as wins.
February is very favorable for us. Right now, bracket matrix has us in 77/78Quote:

Our guards better shoot better than 7-28 like they did against Vandy
Hubbard is in a slump 3/14 yesterday and 1/11 Wednesday night. Hes better than this, so I'm not too concerned YETQuote:

Hubbard needs to distribute a little more. Taking too many 15+ foot jumpers and not great 3 point shots. He had 3 assists yesterday which is tied for his 2nd highest. Needs to continue working to distribute
Vandy so bad we beat them by 13 and drop 7 spots.Quote:

Kinda like studying baseball RPI the first week of March.Quote:

Found the reason we dropped so much... north Texas dropped 15 spots today. Dang
I miss the days when we could just look at won/loss and conference records lol! To complicated now!Quote:

If South Carolina hangs on and beats Kentucky (it's 33-25 at the half), I suppose that would be a better loss for us?
Can't hurt. Uk is gonna for sure be a quad one at end of the year. Msstate7 will keep us posted I knowQuote:

What is contributing to this lack of overall talent in the ACC?
Big games for us tonight besides ours...
Tulane (-6.5) at UTSA
Illinois (-2.5) at NW
Utah at wash st (-1.5)
#42 (down 2 spots)
Big games for us tonight...
SMU (-1.5) at north Texas
Arizona st at Oregon (-8.5)
Tulane loss was bad. UTSA has a net in the 270sQuote:

I guess I just never learn but I really didn't think we'd have to sweat out selection Sunday this year.Quote:

This. We can?t afford another home loss because frankly you can?t say we?ll win a road game to make up for it.Quote:

They are experienced and have as much size and even better athletes than us, plus they can score and defend. Auburn 75-67
I'm beginning to wonder if we even accept the upcoming NIT bid...............
