6-0 for the road teams shook up some things in the tourney outlook. While the Tide are close, they need some help to get to Friday.

All Times Eastern.

Separating the wheat from the chaff:

---

---

Ole Miss has lost seven in a row.
UofSC has lost six in a row.
A&M has lost four in a row.
Auburn has lost four in a row.
LSU has lost three ...

In the remaining six games analytics favor us in all but one Vegas should favor us in all but one I think we most likely finish 4-2 hopefully we can get healthy.

KP has Bama finishing with one loss to Tennessee. I'm thinking a win against UArk should be enough to put Bama in the other bracket (opposite UF.)

 

[mando]

This team still has core D and inside issues. Maybe getting healthy will help some but not sure anything is going to close that gap with the elite teams.

 

[TerryP]

IF KP is right on his predictions for the next six games the SEC finishes like this:

 

[TerryP]

I don't think anyone had UGA over UK at Rupp last night. SECN reports it is the first time since 2009 they've won there.

 

[TerryP]

When looking at tonight a win and I can see as many as three, maybe four, tied with the same record. A win gives Bama a good chance to move to 2nd.

Wild upset considering how well UK was playing. They play at auburn next. Could be facing a three game losing streak.

The game with Tennessee is going to be fun. I haven't been to the site to see how it all "computes" today. That was a BIG win.

Is this right? I mean didn't UT beat Bama at home? So shouldn't UT be in the second spot?

They just didn’t sort the tie breakers (yet) in this graphic, but yes.

Tennessee only upper half to play.
Rest. Uga. Au. Msu. Lsu all Lowers
Go 4-1. Should be fine for 2/3 seed.

Poor shooting night means an L. Hard to shoot 80% much like they did in the 2nd half against Ark. Wtih the D it took that kind of shooting which is just not sustainable and still almost lost.

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.
