Even though Ark is 1-4 and Mizz is 2-3, I don’t think that we want Arkansas to pick up an SEC road win. But Mizz is losing and needs to go on an under 4:00 run.

Bama and Barn still face each other twice.

Bama closes out the season at Texas A&M. Unfortunately they don’t play in Tuscaloosa this year.

TxAM doesn’t come to the TBA. TN goes to College Station on Tuesday 2/21.

1-5. I guess Musselman won’t be getting many votes for the SEC COY.

Arkansas has never made the tournament after starting 1-5 or worse in conference play, either in the SWC or SEC.

Their next two games are Ole Miss and LSU, both at home. Suffice it to say they need to win both of those or the path to an at-large becomes treacherous.

Like, is Texas A&M good? I have legit no idea. 5-0 in conference play, but haven’t beaten a single team I would consider good. Their non-conference schedule and resume is incredibly weak. But, 5-0 is 5-0.

#48 on KenPom, #33 on Torvik…didn’t beat a single Top 150 team in OOC and in conference the best team they’ve played is Florida, in other words they haven’t beaten a NCAAT team yet. 3 or next 4 are @UK, @Aub & @Ark, let’s see where they are after that stretch.

They did best Missouri fairly handily, so that’s a solid win as well. But, I agree the next stretch of games for them is super important.

Musselman was coronated too early as the Prince of SEC basketball, in my opinion. They’ve had injuries, and yes, it makes a difference. However, Brazile transferred from Mizzou when Mizzou was not very good. To me, his strategy is “drive downhill and draw the foul or make the high-percentage” shot. I believe opponents have figured it out. They have this year, anyway.

Xavier and Texas losing this week means if we take care of business Saturday we’ll probably move up to #7. I’d like to see us inch back into that Top 5 by the time Alabama rolls around.

At the point late in the season just after we beat Auburn 67-62 last year, we were 21-7 and ranked 5th. We’ve lost 3 games…3. Long way to go, and the injury bug is trying to bite us, but we shall see.

I’m guessing someone else will drop a game as well…Kansas won’t fall below us with their 1 loss this week but a 2nd loss this week and I would think they will. Win Saturday and I would think we are back to 5/6.
