    The nice thing about this thread is if it happens you can come back and say you called it but if it doesn't no one is going to remember it.

    I suspect we are one of the top 2 or 3 teams other coaches are comfortable playing right now.

    We have nothing to lose, are playing MUCH better as of late, and it can be challenging to get your kids up to play a team with an overall losing record. Add to that we have Howland, and I can see the our opponent's coaches getting very concerned.

    The key is winning tonight and Saturday. Starting to play Thursday instead of Wednesday could be huge.

    I don't think so. I could see us winning 2 days in a row, but ware's legs will be gassed on day 3. We don't have the front court depth

    Let's put it this way. I don't see a team in this tournament we can't beat. So I agree that with some seniors potentially playing their last game plus the momentum we've gathered that we could do it. I doubt anyone will see us in the tournament and be excited they drew us.

    To have any chance we would almost have to get out of playing the first day. I just don't see any team EVER winning 5 days in a row against quality competition when the other team is still relatively fresh. The fatigue is just too much.

    I'm not gonna crow about it if it happens because others have alluded to it already. It's not totally out there.

    However, I do think we have a real chance at winning the sec tourney.

    Confidence is one of the biggest things in life and our team has to be riding high with it right now.

    This is the most excited I've been about basketball in years!!!

    As long as we dont play Kentucky we will be ok. Winning tomorrow night would be huge and give us a chance at a much better seed. However, we dont want to be the 8-9 seed and have to play Kentucky

    The only way that has a snowball's chance of happening is if we somehow get a by for the first round.

    We may have a shot at it. Gotta play awfully good for 4 or so games in a row.

    Sounds nice but we can't win 4/5 games in a row without considerable rest in between. We have Gavin Ware and Aric Holman only in the front court. No need to comment on any other reasons why we won't win the SECT. That one is enough.

    I'm actually going to the game tomorrow night. A bear friend invited me. Not good news for us and we usually lose when I attend. Oh well......

    They're really good at offensive rebounding and we aren't good at defensive rebounding. I'm not real confident in this game.

    We have a much better shot at the NCAA Tourney than the NIT at this point....that's for sure.
