somehow (for now) a Quad 1 game.

71 as of this minute. They are hosting Ole Miss this weekend which would give them a likely Q3 win so they may stay in the top 75 (LSU following MS.)

Mizzou beats the Vols... and OU beats auburn (pretty easily). auburn has to be on the danger bubble at this point but they are lucky that OU was somehow (for now) a Quad 1 game.

BTW, just noticed. On SECsports.com there's an interview with Wague following their win. I looked at the box score. Over 1/3rd of the points came from ...

I had it on a 2nd screen, no sound (until the baseball game ended)... my thought watching it was Wague won the "hard hat". Looking at his line, that seems to confirm. And I don't care enough to look it up, but auburn's 3 point defense the last few games "feels" like it may be horrid.

Dawns on me ...

I've pointed to Pope at UK after their loss to AU a few times recently. If it wasn't for that game, AU would be on a seven game losing streak and as I see it looking at losing two of their last three.

That would be bubble burst.

Think this helps us when it comes to seeding purpose for the SECT. Just handle business the rest of the way.

They were 318th in three-point defense. Avery's teams were notorious for leaving guys wide open and not closing out. SP doesn't have a clue how to coach D.

Yes, and no. They won't get above a #2 seed unless Florida stumbles and loses three of its next four. (Ain't happening.)

UT's loss won't mean anything if Bama loses tonight. They'll both have the same record with UT holding the tiebreaker. Barring a collapse a win tonight should assure the Tide of a top four seed and the susequent two bye dates.

(A win tonight and then a win Saturday against UT? Now we're having a discussion with tiebreakers.)

 

[Bammerboy321]

Texas-Florida right now. Think this could be a sneaky good game.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Man Golden and his assistants get after their players hard when Florida is on D. I miss seeing that here when Henry and Hodgson were on the bench.

 

[Bammerboy321]

UConn is taking it to St Johns.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Texas is giving UF all they can handle. Down 61-59

 

[Bammerboy321]

Death, taxes, and Golden's adjustments to blow teams out late. God oh mighty their defense shut down Texas

How messed up is it that a double digit loss team makes any post season tourney. I guess it is common in CBB.

Their SOS may pull them over the line. Which personally, I wouldn’t have an issue with since I think SOS should be heavily weighted in all sports when it comes to postseason selections. But we are also seeing a rare case with them that it’s a team that has gotten worse as the year wore on (other than that UF win). And they’ve gotten worse without injuries or things that usually impact such. They’ve just flat out fallen apart.
