We're at 14-3. There are 14 games left and we need 7 more wins to get to 21 to increase our chances of getting to the NCAAT.

Where are the 7 wins at? I personally think we have a chance to win all of them if we're lucky, but that's just me.
 
With our weaker OOC schedule, I think we need to finish at least 10-8 in conference play. Or, if we go 9-9, win a game or 2 in the SEC tournament. Right now, we are 1-2 in quad 1 games. We have to get a couple more of those wins because it's very possible that the Grand Canyon win drops to a quad 2 game if they lose a game or 2 in their conference.
 
I think Lamont coaches the guys to not foul on defense and rely on their shooting, but that bites us against tough opponents.

UGA played faster trying to get into the paint on offense than they have under their two previous head coaches.

I think the team has had the same negative tendencies in games as Frank's teams have had, but Lamont tends to rope things in a lot quicker than Frank did, if it all towards the end of his time here.

The UGA loss last night drained our coaches, players, and fans alike and today I have been tired, but still hopeful for the rest of the season.

I also think it would help out greatly if Mack were able to find the next gear in his game in the paint. It's almost a waste of time to pass him the ball in the paint because he turns it over too much. Hopefully we get Stute and his veteran leadership back soon.
 
Based on NET rankings, the most likely wins to get to 9 are
@Arkansas
Vs Missouri
@Georgia
Vs Ole Miss
Vs Vanderbilt
Vs LSU
Vs Florida

Some of the bottom-feeders have the potential to be trap games for us. We may lose some we should have won, but I think we will also get a couple of upsets to offset that.

The moon is cheese. I don't know.
 
The remaining games with a different perspective after the UK win.

We play Auburn and see the Vols twice, so there's enough meat in the remaining schedule to elevate us in NCAAT discussions if we continue to get the wins.

The mid-week SEC home games are pretty good this year, too.
 
Lot of basketball left, the next 6 weeks will be interesting. Need to win the home games, and I'd really like to get the revenge win against GA on their gym floor..

I like that since you posted this, we are undefeated. would love to see us get about 8 or 9 more.
 
Auburn and Tennessee are mortal.

If we continue to play well and win, we theoretically could have a shot at the regular season championship.

The portal has added some positive and negative dynamics to the league that weren't there before.
