Figured out the home/away issue, south Carolina is at home not the road, so the home/away is set.

Still not sure what the deal is with ole miss and memphis on back to back days.

I'm definitely attending the Mizzou game (fb and bb), looking forward to it. How did yall get the schedule? Has the bb conf. schedule been set already?

The SEC lost a ton of solid players and the league in general should be down next year.

Kentucky has to reload and are a wait and see at this point

Candy lost Taylor and Jenkins

Bama lost green

Miss State lost everyone

I think Missouri lost some of those dangerous 3 pt shooters

Florida lost Walker and Beal

These are just the ones I can think of of the top of my head so the conference should be ripe for the picking

I agree that the SEC will be down next year, but that's based on the lack of depth that it'll have, not a supposed lack of quality teams at the top. Kentucky will come back to earth a bit, but they'll still be competing, along with Florida, Tennessee, Missouri, and Alabama. Arkansas and Ole Miss should be decent as well. But past that, there's not much...

I really like yalls site since you seem to be just as interested in Basketball as football (1 thing I dislike about SEC is the lack of enthusiasm about Bball). And I hope you allow me the opportunity to keep posting, as I am trying to learn as much as I can about this league. I can't start new posts since I am a noob, but I would like to find some full game video of the Vols (as well as bama) since I get the feeling Mizzou, TN, ky, Floriduh and the gumps will be in good competition for 1,2,3 in this league. I would like to know yalls opinion.

For Mizzou, yes, we lost 2 very good players in Marcus Denmon and Kim English. Denmon of course was an all american and English will be in the NBA for a while. Our best player from the year before is back, Laurence bowers (who played for the same team Hubbs and Nichols play for now, I think), he is from Memphis.
From what our Mizzou guy on rivals has said, Jabari Brown (#19 recruit in 2011) is even better than Denmon or English shooting wise. And far and above more athletic than Kim English. Phil Pressey will be the best PG in the country next year. I like what I've heard about Earnest Ross, you guys might know more about him than I, since he played at Auburn. I expect Oriakhi to be much better in our system than that broken thing UCONN called a team last year. He has impressed so far. One of our freshman has really impressed as well, 6'11 Stefan Jankovich, who might even play the 3! Defense will be much more of a focus than last year. We only had 7 guys (thats a pg and a C coming off the bench) so we couldnt afford foul trouble, thus us allowing teams to shoot better fg% than usual.

Don't get the wrong idea, MarineInMo. People here in Knoxville are as apathetic about basketball as anywhere else besides Lexington. You will come to see that there are only a handful of posters that show a genuine interest and active following. Not saying that other posters don't care, but we regularly have our own fans talk smack about basketball on our own board.

Looks like you will do fine here. Just don't act like our bad Memphis posters, and you'll be gravy.

I was just going off the fact that this board is the only one that has more than 1 post per day about basketball in the entire league. I have "family" who went to Memphis/ I don't claim them for reasons you probably understand.

The season tix came out with schedule, so that told me home games. We know the 4 home/away SEC teams plus our rival. So all I had to do was see what SEC teams were left and they were the away games.

We've known the OOC games for awhile now.

Welcome aboard Marine. There are a select few of us that post with regularity in the bball side. Don't get me wrong, I love UT football, but basketball is my favoorite sport and the atmosphere in TBA is electric at times. Plus, my son loves going to bball games, but isn't as entertained at Neyland. We still go to both, but I only miss bball games if I am stuck in the office. I'll watch half the football home games at home though. They blocked our web access at work and I hate posting mobile so I am not as active on here as I used to be, but I read and keep up daily.

I'm not sold on Virginia at this point. I think we will win as of right now.

Just saw We are playing them in a home and home series...Good...I hope We destroy them both games...Had a grudge against those guys since the early 80's when they got lucky and beat us with Ralph Sampson.
