Being 3-6 in the SEC right now has a lot to do with us being on bubble also

Must win tonight

[Quaoarsking]

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.

That 2012 Georgia game started the collapse but we still almost saved it. And then lost to them again in the first round of the SEC Tourney. That one was for sure the nail in the coffin.

[Captain Falcon]

Yes, goes without saying tonight (and the two after it) are must win. Three straight Q3 games, gotta have all three of them.

What is the status of Hubbard and DJ?

[StarkVegasSteve]

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.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

I believe we are the only team in the country that played 8 Quad 1 games in the first 9 conference games. All of our conference games were Quad 1 except for Vandy. Obviously, the reason South Carolina, Ole Miss, and Florida were Quad 1 is because they were on the road.

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.

Yep, 6-3 and we in. 5-4 and we got to win 1-2 in SECT for shot.

[confucius say]

Analytics have us favored in the next four. At least 65-35 in all four. Then the fifth at LSU is 50-50.

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 tolu

[Coach34]

Yep, 6-3 and we in. 5-4 and we got to win 1-2 in SECT for shot.

Disagree. I think 8 wins gets us in. We go 9-9? We'll be a damn 7-8 seed

Play both bigs together some. Work Hi/lo in the paint with them and make the other 3 stay behind the arc. That will give teams problems

I think we will start Hubbard, Moore, Jones, Cam, Tolu tonight. And I think Jones give you another shooter and better offense than DJ.

But I think Hubbard, Moore, Cam, Murphy, Tolu could be your best offensive grouping of Murphy picks up where he left off.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Yep, 6-3 and we in. 5-4 and we got to win 1-2 in SECT for shot.

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.

#44 (no change)

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.

If that's the case we'd likely fall 15-20 spots with a loss
