I agree with you Pio, as I always do.

Georgia and Bama both got really big wins last night.... keeps us in the discussion of the NCAA Tournament. I still think both can only absorb around 5 more losses if they want a bid. That's going to be tough.
Bama's NET is up to #44 which is high enough to make the Tournament. However I think its going to be really tough to overcome the fact they have four losses to teams that currently project to fall outside the Field: #63 Rhode Island, #67 Iowa State, #119 North Carolina, and #141 Penn. They just got their first win over a projected at-large Tournament team. It's going to take more of those.
Georgia's NET is only #55. We need to get that up. The good news is we only have one loss to a team currently outside the Field: #61 Arizona State. And that win at #28 Memphis is going to help us down the road.
It's going to be fun to watch.

Worried about direction we're headed, and you go "But you're 4-0 in the conference", we pulled some nailbiters out against A&M, MSU and Arkansas. Winning is winning but we're in a really bad spot right now roster wise.
Marlon Taylor didn't travel to A&M, guess he will be out a while, our best defender. No idea when he will be back but when he played this year it was rough it looked like on him.
Charles Manning got hurt pretty bad at A&M, he is out about a month they said with surgery coming up now.
James Bishop has failed to appear in any of the last 5 games despite being a rotation guy the first 11 games and nobody knows why (injury/suspension).
That's almost our entire actual bench. So we're lucky in the respect our starting group remains in tact, but we literally have 1 guy to bring off the bench now in Andre Hyatt who is supposed to be a 3 point shooter but is 6 for 30 on the season from 3 ( ). We will be playing Marshall Graves, a former walk on guard a good bit as well as Courtese Cooper, who has no business playing in SEC games as well as our rotation guys right now.
We play @ Ole Miss this weekend, we could definitely lose.

Like I said, 2-4 can be switched easily. I think Kentucky and Arkansas are better but LSU has proved more recently.

Watching AU last night, they looked horrible and poorly coached.

They are slightly overrated. Very weak schedule. Still the best in the SEC.

Pearl put a lot of good, not great teams on the schedule. It's smart scheduling. It looks good on paper. With FSU and Butler already being there. We face Auburn and Baylor as well these next few games. Four teams that should be in the AP top ten as of next week pending crazy upsets over the weekend are on our schedule now.

Sure. Give me a few minutes to switch accounts.

LSU isn't the second best team. LOLOLOL.

I know what you mean. Arkansas has a good team but not a deep team. If we get an injury to a key player we are going to be hard pressed to find someone to make up his minutes and points.
Still, if you had told me we'd have one conference loss at this point, a close one on the road to LSU, I'd have been over the moon before the season started.

There we go, I had forgotten my password to my Pio account. Had to reset the account and everything.
