Everyone gets excited about winning...but we win at home most of all the time.
What does this team need to do to get an AWAY game win?
We always come up short. Is CCM under the Buzzball spell?

we have got to take care of the basketball, keep the turnovers down, get into our offense, and run the ball through the posts.

If we win all of our home games and win one, yes one away game, we will have 18 wins and should be a bubble team. With a win or two in the S.E.C. tourney and our two quality wins against Florida & UConn, we should get in the NCAA. We may end up being "one and done" but at least we got in.
Key to it is winning an away game and all of our home games.

Listen it's called inexperience, with piss poor senior leadership. Martin can coach! He's smart enough to know we suck on offense so bad that we have to play great defense to keep teams in games of 50-52 or 60-62. We are a year older and a few shooters away from being a 20 game win team. Josh, McRae, Golden, Maymon, and Stokes is a great start. If we can land 2 more huge freshman like a Charles Mitchell we will be heading in a very bright direction.

Less than 0.5% chance we make the NCAA tourney without winning the SEC tourney. Have you seen our RPI (140) compared to the rest of the SEC? No way they take 8 SEC teams this year. With our remaining schedule that number won't change drastically. :loco: GBO

They've gotten better since those games, not too mention they are both worse than those teams (except Oakland).

This, I don't understand how people can't see that we are improving every game. Our defense can keep us in most games.

im going to reserve judgment until after our next home game. if we win vs sc at home and then beat fl on the road we can start talking about us making a little run, but im waiting until after florida before i say anything about any of this.

Halfcourt defense is good but against faster teams transition defense is not good. Game in and game out, we don't have the offense to keep up with that.

18 wins do not get this team in. Not with our RPI.
