We're currently 27th.

Obviously going to finish higher after the next 3.

That ranking is odd to me. Non conference SOS is 17 yet the conference brought it down. The SEC is the best conference.

We have 14th SOS on KenPom and will probably finish top 10. We will end up with 9 top 50 KenPom games within the conference. 14 overall.

What’s taking away from what the players accomplished is the poor officiating product they put out there. Call it one way in the first half and different in the second. It’s mind boggling how poor it is. Then, Bruce gets a technical on a call that was correct. But Bruce complained earlier and then got 2 picky fouls called on us. THAT is what makes the game not watchable. But I’ve been saying it for 15 years. The conferences can make adjustments, but they refuse to do it.

Humans will never be good at reffing. It's at every...single...level...of...every...single...sport. Fans of every team on earth repeat the same.

Folks can keep accepting that, like they have since the beginning of sports, or push for real change...


In the meantime, I'll give credit to players for winning, not because of the refs. It takes away from the players tonight and they don't deserve that.

You answered your own question. We're about to (just did) play the other best teams in the league. Add in 4 top 25 teams and we'll be higher.

The question is where we currently stood, in reference to Purdue assumingly, who is top 5 SOS.

But you can attempt to fix it, or they can just put their heads in the sand. It’s like the conferences don’t care about it. Frankly, it’s about money, and they don’t want to spend it.

The players are getting huge praise. These aren’t two mutually exclusive discussions. I prefer working toward improvement when something is bad, but the conference doesn’t.

I will not be shocked or disappointed with a loss to Bama. Not rooting or calling for one, but prepping my tender hearted brethern in case it doesn't go as well on the road.

1-1 in these two upcoming road games would be pretty good. But obviously we bring the same effort we had tonight we can go 3-0 and end the debate.

If I foul you 50 times and they call 10 of them and you foul me 10 times and they call 12 of them, are you ok with that?

Only thing I know is if Refs call every foul on both teams It turns into a 3 hour ball game every time..
A foul probably is committed by every team every possession of the game.
Not getting caught Is the goal..
