Toughest finishing schedule in country?!?

[VolCalls]

It is a tough schedule down the stretch, which makes taking care of business tonight really important. I don't see Mizzou having much of a crowd at all. This is as close to a layup as it gets on the road in the SEC.

Did you talk to the team in the locker room before the game? Because they’re sure playing like they’re looking ahead,

Rated Toughest to Less Tough


1. Bama has been realy good at home, so they actualy concern me the most. Plus the game will have large SEC season implications at that point. May be playing for 1st place.

2. Kentucky scares me 2nd most becuase it took a really good shooting performance to beat them at Rupp. On any given night they can score 90+ regardless of where they are at. On the contrary, there have been stretches where we go cold, and thats all it could take if UK is on.

3. Auburn - I think they are a good team, but a bit overrated. They only have 2 Quad 1 wins and don't play well on the road, especially against formidable opponents. With that said, Pearl's teams seem to get the best of Barne's teams. We normally struggle to defend the 3 and rebound. Perhaps we are more suited to keep up in a higher scoring game if it comes to that.

4. South Carolina - They do concern me, after all they did beat us at home. But I think the pressure of higher expectations is affecting their team right now. I also think our team will be locked in to avenge the home loss. Also there could possibility be an opportunity win the conference at this point in the year. So no overlooking this game this time around.

Though losing to UK hurts, many fans in here would have been content to finishing this 4 game stretch, 3-1. As I thought, UK concerned me, even though they were a home game. They have consistent scorers who can shoot it well in any gym. They always had the potential to punch back multiple times. Yet, even with UK going 51.7% from 3 and 88.9% from the FT Line, we had a chance to tie it at the end.
