Yes, basketball IQ is also a part of TO's that are bad. I hope Zya can learn as she is a freshman. Still, none would start on any other SEC team and there are currently no other options. So you play with the hand you are dealt and hope they can stop it with the "dumb" TOs. All that being said they are a #16 team and control their destiny to host with 5 games left all against teams ranked below us in the NET/RPI or whatever metric you want to use. Even if we drop 1 game their is a good chance we are #4 and playing on day 3 of the SEC tournament.
Kentucky still has to play the top 3 teams in the conf and Tennessee. Alabama has Tennessee, OU & LSU left. Ole Miss has yet to play South Carolina, LSU & Tennessee. We are projected to win the remaining games...but the toughest may be this weekend as missouri has been playing much better. Lost to LSU & Texas by 9 and Tennessee by 5.
The other part of SEC play i can't stand is the officiating. As physical as they say the conference is...they reward flopping WAY TOO much. Raegan leads the team in TOs because of charge calls or posts just falling down. Sahara is #2 in TO's mostly due to the Charge calls. Throw in the flops on screens...and you have 4+ TOs a game on flops. silly, but we have to adjust.
