    I think UK is a stronger team, but they’re both good. I was hoping for 3 of 5 down the stretch, but we already hit that. At least 1 of 2 to finish, please. Of course, really want to beat FU and a Vandy loss would be bad. So let’s go 5-0 to finish.

    Sure seems like we could lose round 1 of the NCAAT the way we play sloppy.

    We could but have to take the good with the bad at this point....it’s who we are

    sometimes it’s missing the alley oop and sometimes it’s the no look off the backboard assist to seal the game late

    Youre confused. Dominance in basketball is measured in wins. Not margin of victory. This teams as dominant as you may ever see here.

    I think we're pretty close. We're undefeated on the sec road, in first place and beat the 2 teams tied with us.

    This team will make some noise.

    I wonder what Wade thought of it. Probably not happy. I didn't til I remembered who we were playing.

    I've been watching them some, Tigers are solid, if they finish the season as a 3 or 4 seed, you'll cruise through the first round,.. second round is different, LSU will be up against a better team who has already won in the tournament's bright lights, Tigers will have to play well then,.. win that game and you're sweet 16

    I don't think we will play sloppy but we sure seem to play like thugs and they need to knock it off!
    Seems like every game lately we have someone out there playing hockey and it's a really bad look.

    I think part of the NET ranking is literally margin of decision, and the better teams are able to distance themselves. We are averaging about +12 relative to opponents margin of victory, which seems decent. Bama is a solid opponent too, so I’ll walk back the criticism a little.
