Well we are only 10ish ranks behind them in your algorithm but they?re beating us like we are 200 behind them.. I?ll hang up and listen.Quote:

Damn, those are some great looking games.
A win is a win and a loss is a loss. How much did SCar beat our women's by in the natty we lost to them? Don't remember do ya? It was a double digit loss so we must have been terrible to just beat UConn in OT by your logic.Quote:

I know the SEC is good but come on man, we should at least be competitive, my goodness this is embarrassing. Yes all of those teams are good but to be getting beaten as bad as we have in some of those games is plain ridiculous. Losing to Oklahoma didn't help eitherQuote:

Ok and 2 of the data points are this month + we beat Georgia at Georgia which #3 couldn't do tonight this month so is that not a 3rd data point?Quote:

We're gonna make the dance. We've set a record for wins vs. AP top 25 teams. We're 7-8 vs. Q1. We have one horrendous loss to Butler this year back in November. Everything else is typical for a tournament team.
We have a real chance at closing out 3-0 into the SECT. Find your rhythm into March and all of a sudden you're cinderella. Open shots just gotta fall and all of a sudden we're in the sweet 16.
Bama plays at Tennessee on Saturday. They MIGHT make 5 threes.
111 points allowed. <smh>
You guys can fluff this up all you want, but we just gave up 22 threes and 111 points.
It's incredibly difficult to play defense when breathing is a foul on you but moving draymonds and holds aren't offensive fouls. The refs got so in the zone of not calling jersey tugs against bama on O that they forgot how blatant it looks to not call it on D.Quote:

At least their run in football is over. Welfare state gonna learn that letting real moneymaking states spend money gets them looking out of their tax bracket real fast.
And we definitely legitly lost 24-0 @ Bama in football in 2018 and should have been embarrassed by that. Nothing unscrupulous there.Quote:

We got smoked. We sucked. With that said, this is their 15th game this season to go over 90 points. It's their 5th sec game to over 100. They entered tonight's game avg'n 92.8 per game in February. They can score.Quote:

I expect to beat the teams in the right column. (OM wins are great but my hate for them expects wins)Quote:

I mean by algorithms we should have lost to Aggy but beat kenneth pomegranate by ~20. This week we lost to Kendrick Pompeii by ~20.Quote:

Would you have traded 25 of our points against Aggy to tonight to make both losses look respectable?Quote:

Again, big whoop if that?s the goal is just to make it. I?m not gonna high five for making the tournament knowing we will crap the bed and not even be a factor in it.Quote:

If you want us competing for a natty in MBK, you probably need to up your NIL bc our talent level isn't close to the elite in the secQuote:

We've only made the tournament 12 times(since the field expanded past 25 teams), 13 after this year. So Chris Jans, who's been here for 3 years will account for almost 25% of our tournament appearances in school history.Quote:

Also just for reference since some think we're a "basketball power". We have 6 SEC Regular season championships since 1960. LSU has 8. I don't think anyone thinks LSU is a basketball power.
Also some food for thought for the Jans is mid crowd.
Kelvin Sampson Years 1-3 at Houston: 56-40(.583 winning percentage)
Kelvin Sampson Since at Houston: 232-43(.844 winning percentage)
Jans Years 1-3 at State: 61-36 (.629 winning percentage)
Jans will be just fine if he stays here. We need to be figuring out how to keep him, not constantly running him down. We were lucky as hell to hire him.

I never expected to win yesterday. They did precisely what I did expect.
I think Jans is a good coach who struggles with offense. Something that he will have to fix to be successful no matter where he is at.
My expectations are to be let down by this basketball team. Plain and simple.
Celebrating finishing the year with a shot at not even being ranked in the top 30. Woo!Quote:

That's just depressing man. Like enjoy being in the tournament. Whether we're knocked out by 1 PM on Thursday or not, we got there. We didn't from 2010-2019. Or from 1964-1991. And again from 97-02. Enjoy actually having a team to root for when that bracket is revealed on Selection Sunday.Quote:

Haven't been able to say that in 20 years.
And half the ****in idiots here are gonna be disappointed if we get bounced in the second round. Learn to enjoy the ride.
If you need to win the natty - play a video game.
No one said all or nothing. We will see how they do but this team isn?t fun to watch at all.Quote:
