Must win tonight
A loss tonight would change everything. Remember 12 years ago when a home loss to Georgia killed our season and Stansbury's career.
100% must win tonight.
Yep. Our record isn't great. We are in NCAA consideration because of who we have played. The next 3 games don't help the strength of schedule or Quad opportunities. So they have to be WINS.Quote:

What is the status of Hubbard and DJ?
Hubbard is good to go, he came back in the other night. DJ is probably out 2 weeks.Quote:

We have 9 games remaining. The only Quad 1 games will be Auburn, Kentucky (maybe), and Texas A&M (maybe because it's on the road).
So now it's time to pile up wins. We started off 3-6. Now we need to go 6-3.
After Georgia and Missouri, we don't play for 7 days (against Arkansas). There is no midweek game next week. So maybe DJ won't miss as many games.Quote:

Dang shame that dj got hurt right before this stretch or winnable games. Oh well, hopefully Murphy, Scott, and/or jones step up. Be great if one steps up and can hit some outside shots to really open it up for toluQuote:

6-3 we are in. I think if we go 5-4, we are still probably in. But I just don't want to chance it.Quote:

There was some good movement for us last night...
NW up to #55 from #60. This is close to becoming a Q1 win. They host #100 Penn state Sunday.
North Texas up to #77 from #86. This is close to becoming a Q2 win. They travel to #45 SMU Sunday.
Tonight's games...
Arizona state at Colorado (-15.5)
Washington st (-8.5) at Oregon st
Rutgers is #98, so be pulling for them to get to #75 for a Q2 win.
aTm lost 5 spots after winning at mizzou last night. Not sure what their opponents did, but that's concerning
Yikes. That is kinda sucky. I know they are really bad but that is a tough reward for winning on the road.Quote:
