Been overrated all year - not a top 10 team. Our soft early schedule including the SEC first half is why we’ve been ranked so high. Now that the schedule has toughened up we are losing some games. We will be a 3-4 seed like last year and lose in the second round again.

Be mad but don’t be stupid. This team has wins over the top 2 teams in the Big12 -almost universally recognized as the best conference in America. Not playing well right now sure, but let’s take the crazy meter down a few notches.

Maybe, but we were playing well against whoever was in front of us. We are in a bad stretch. I think we have been a bit rattled on the road and have come up against teams playing above their usual selves in their gym. Sure, we have proven we aren't a top 5 team. But we also aren't as bad as we've been recently. Just gotta gain our confidence back.

Yup been saying that. We have to have to emphasize offense too.

A few weeks ago fans were saying that maybe we were peaking at the wrong time. Well going on that thought process this is a good thing. Play like💩now and start peaking in March. 🤣

My eyes glaze over everytime these randos mention Alabama's win over Vandy at home(after getting destroyed @ unranked, 1 game above .500 Oklahoma. Congrats on watching SportsCenter that day Champ!

It's almost like it's difficult winning on the road in conference.

Lol. Are fans really ignoring the fact that we easily beat Kansas on a neutral court, walloped Texas at home less than 2 weeks ago, AND went toe to toe with top 5 Arizona in their gym (likely the most hostile place we will play all year). What would your idea of a “tough” schedule look like? I’m VERY curious to hear.

Agree the team was overrated. That’s going to get corrected soon. The real problem is that the talent on the roster is overrated. Barnes just hasn’t recruited well enough to take the next step. Now teams like bama, Arkansas are going to pass us by.

That's part of it. They don't have elite players anywhere..Big's aren't special, guards are subpar. The big thing I see with this team is they don't play smart..

In the first half of the SEC we played Ole Miss, Miss State twice, home against Vandy, SC, LSU. The bottom of the conference. Big difference from Auburn twice, KY twice, Vandy on the road, Alabama, Florida on the road. The back half of the schedule has exposed us.

You totally ignored his entire statement. You are just typing to type at this point. Embarrassing.
