Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

We can win the SEC if we can win out. Only one game behind Auburn and we own the tie breaker. Just need Auburn to lose one.

They go to Miss St...who is tough at home. That's our shot.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Yes...but it was still a garbage call.

Agree

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Also...another thought I have been having for while..if JJJ was a consistent scorer, he would be in Grant W SEC player of the year contention.

I wish he would really focus on that this offseason.

 

[Devo182]

According to KenPom this team is a 17 point favorite against UGA. A 7 point favorite against Arky

People didn't believe the analytics and Vegas spreads vs UK and Aub at home.

Maybe they'll start believing now. We can play and beat absolutely anyone on our home court.

This is my brother, he lost his battle with cancer a few hours ago. This picture was taken in 1968 when he was flying a Huey "slick" and dropping LERPs and extracting them out of Bien Hoa, South Vietnam. On one of his missions he extracted a platoon under fire and lost 2 feet of his rotor blade and still got everyone home, received several medals for heroism.

He had no regrets, he lived a good full life. But the old guy you shuffling into Walmart, this is what he may have looked like 50 or 60 years ago. I will miss his humor and his fearlessness.

Thank you for taking the time to post this…I won’t forget your words.

so sorry for your loss

i dont think there's any comparison

this is the best sec has never been

Easily

I think Kentucky, Auburn, Tennessee and Arkansas are all final four level and could win it all.

YES THE VOLS BABY

Our defense is absolutely incredible.

but our offense isnt. Arkansas and Auburn are good.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I agree that our guys have good basketball IQ and can adjust as the game flows, but they don't always do it----check the Arkansas game with the charges.

They adjusted, but just had a bad shooting night. They were getting really good looks outside, but couldn't knock them down. There is no adjusting from that, once the refs forced us to be one dimensional, and we just had an off night in that one dimension..it was over.

Been to St. Mary’s a few years ago. Caught a basketball game. Their gym reminded me of a high school gym. On the positive side, the campus and its setting were awesome.

That Saint Marys team is an NCAA tournament team as well…. I was looking at RPI and ours is up to number 5 m….. that’s really strong.

We just beat AU..smh..

 

[Jackcrevol]

We just beat AU..smh..

We play exceptional at home.

We play average on road. We will have to seriously find some O on road in Tourney.

Who wants to help get it cleaned up for the adventure!?!

Me and the wife have gotten close to buying a pusher a couple of times. Got cold feet both times, mostly because of storage concerns. Maybe someday.

What's more impressive for basketball, outside of accomplishing both . . . SEC regular season champs or SEC tournament champs?

Don’t get to take the home crowd with us…… we have to be get better away from home.

Regular season….. people don’t care about the tournament as much except for fans.

 

[Jackcrevol]

If THIS team can somehow snag a share of the Championship. That will be remarkeable.

 

[voltn21]

Yes regular season is more impressive to me but winning the tournament would be awesome. I admit I just started following basketball the past few years but I don’t ever remember us winning the SEC tournament.

winning the tourney carries a lot of weight

Never been by that campus but drove by Pepperdine one year and that campus and surrounding scenery is gorgeous.

That's because 1979 was the last time UT won the SEC Tournament

Defense is exceptional everywhere. This a really good basketball team...period.

They have shown they certainly can be...but he's right.we lack offensive consistency and that will make it hard to trust us in the tourney.

But we're capable of beating....anyone.
