FL is good but TN looked every bit as bad as we looked against AL. It can happen. Clean up D and rebounding and it can be a huge swing for us. Hopefully, offense is cooking tomorrow. Feels like a must win.

Side note. I didn’t realize Caleb Grill was at Mizzou now. Good player but haircut is even worse than the one he had at IA St.

Isn’t this Caleb grills 3rd team?

 

[opsooner]

He’s been there for a while. This is at least his second season with them, maybe his third.

As for the Tennessee comparison, it’s apples to oranges. I’m sure that if Rick Barnes had a history of losing at least 10 games per season in conference, their fans would be concerned, too. There’s a difference between having several complete meltdowns a year, like we have under Moser, and having an occasional clunker in the middle of winning a dozen or so conference games.

Well, I agree if you are comparing history and overall season. I don’t know how/if we are going to bounce back after our bad loss. I certainly hope that bad loss is not an omen from past few seasons. I think our offense can be significantly better than we showed at Bama, even against other elite teams. I am just not sure about our D. Hoping new players and coaches can correct a lot of it but we shall see.

I don’t know. I lost track of him and I hate Mizzou so I never watch them. I recall he got dismissed from IA St at one point but never thought about him again until I spotted that haircut while flipping to Mizzou/LSU once Texas/Auburn went to half.

Our offense vs Bama wasn't that bad. Shots just didn't fall the first half. Defense on the other hand...

 

[opsooner]

Yep. They stunk.

Texas is getting blasted by Auburn. Auburn is really good but Texas looks awful as a basketball team.

Might be good that we play them twice

Was just thinking that. Mizzou is better, but I don't hate playing them twice, either. Split with A&M, sweep both of them and you can see a way to 9 SEC wins.

 

[NickZepp]

Watching the other SEC teams like Miss State, Auburn, Kentucky, Tenn etc. 8 or 9 wins is a really good year this year in conference. Even 7 is solid IMO.

 

[NickZepp]

Our scheduled from Feb 4-Mar 5 is gonna be the crucial part of our schedule now. If we find 4 wins+ in those 9 games that would be amazing.

 

[mict085]

We better beat aTm and Georgia or it’s gonna get ugly.

 

[red recluse]

automatic ncaa tourney berths should be awarded to any team that wins a road game in this conference.

 

[OklaSooners]

Today, Louisville beat Clemson, Arizona beat #21 West Virginia, Oklahoma State beat K-State and Michigan i#22 UCLA.

I bet Texas wishes they had us on the schedule 10 times.

 

[Moneyball]

This Auburn melt down is absolutely insane.

Had the game in the bag up 8 with 2 mins left. Then their best player gets a tech arguing fouls. Now it’s a 3 point game with 30 seconds left.

 

[opsooner]

Auburn has great athletes but they are not the most polished team I have ever seen. That ending reminded me of the OU women’s game at TN. But a road win is a good thing no matter how you get it.

Georgia at Georgia is not going to be a must win.

 

[NickZepp]

Georgia at Georgia is not going to be a must win.

Georgia just blew out Kentucky at home. That won't be easy.

Need to win 3 of the 4 with 3 games being in Norman.

Need to at least 1-2 in the 3 game stretch after that.

Need to find a way to win 4 of the last 10 games in conference after that. That will give us 8 wins which should be enough to make the NCAA Tournament. I think 7 should be enough in this conference but likely won't be.
