It's a damn gauntlet. The last 3 games are going to be crucial. We have to beat Mizzou Saturday regardless if we win or lose Wednesday.

Give me 6-5 to finish 10-8 in the SEC.

final conference record 11-7

 

[msualohadog]

Worry games are vs Mizzou, @ Georgia, and vs Texas A&M. We need to win these three. A win @ Ole Miss would be gravy.

 

[Seinfeld]

7-4 feels like the ceiling, but I’d take 6-5 in a heartbeat.

I’d feel so much better if we could somehow snag a win against Bama, UF, or A&M because at some point, we’re gonna end up dropping a game or two that we probably should’ve won

 

[615dawg]

This is our only midweek home game followed by weekend home game. Need to try to find a way to go 2-0 this week and go 1-1 the other weeks we have two games. It will come down to at Georgia whether we finish with 10 or 11 wins, which is a top 4 seed either way.

 

[Dogdazey]

5-6 to put us 9-9 in conference.

 

[POTUS]

If Hubbard's offense improves back toward last year: 7-4 or even better

If it stays how it's been so far: 5-6 or worse

 

[ZombieKissinger]

I still think we’re in the tournament even in the 3-4 win range, but 6-7 wins would give us a real seed advantage. I have us at 5 wins but hope we get more

 

[dorndawg]

7-4 is there for the taking.

 

[patdog]

If Hubbard's offense improves back toward last year: 7-4 or even better

If it stays how it's been so far: 5-6 or worse

Hubbard is basically the same player he was last year. A bit better in assist-turnover ratio though.

[columbiadawg2]

I say 5-6 but could see literally any game going the other way depending on how we play. All are winnable but any of them could be losses as well.

That surprises me, but can we see conference only last year vs. this year?

ETA: I did my own research and I may be off but I believe in conference Hubbard shot 39.2% last year and is shooting 29.8% this year. Haven't done 3PT, that's just FG%.

ETA#2: Here it is conference only: FG% dropped almost 10 points from 39.2% to 29.8%, whereas 3P% dropped almost 12 points from 36.5% to 24.6%. He's slightly improved in turnovers from 16 in 12 games last year to 8 in 7 games so far this year. But I think it's safe to say he is not the same offensively.

Can't get copy paste to give me anything readable, but in SEC play, he's down from 35% to 30% for both 2 and 3 point attempts. That translates to 12 fewer points over 7 games, so about 2 points per game. Of course, the conference is tougher, so hard to say if this is a slump or just better defenses, lack of a point guard, and lack of a dominating inside scorer this year.

His offense cannot improve without designed plays to get him open. As long as h continues to press and force things, he may end up being a detriment rather than a positive. We cannot have a "shooter" continue to shoot 4-15. We cannot afford that many misses from one guy!

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

All these March Madness gurus seem to think 3 more wins we are a lock for the tournament. After that you’re playing for better seeding. I would love to see them finish with 10 or 11 wins.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

The only definite loss is at Bama especially if Sears doesn't play Wednesday. I think we go 6-5 maybe 7-4 to get to 10-8 possibly 11-7 overall. 11-7 in the SEC would probably get us a 4 seed maybe a 3.
There are some critical toss-up games remaining though - Missouri, @ Georgia, Florida, @ Ole Miss, A & M.
We should be solid favorites @ Oklahoma, LSU, Texas, & @ UPIG.
We need to win those 4 plus 2-3 of the toss up games.
I think the back end of our schedule is not as strong as the front end despite already playing USCE twice.

 

[DAWGSANDSAINTS]

I think we can win 7 of those.
I can also see us losing 7 but 6-5 would probably put us as a 4 seed somewhere.

35	27.7	38.5	35.5	85.3	2.2	1.7	0.1	0.7	1.4	1.2	17.1

The problem is that he started this season above last year but has been below last year's points and % since his slump started. So what will he do in remaining part of the season.

 

[AttalaDawg72]

I really want to see us win some games in the NCAA tournament so bad. I’m so sick of one-and-done seasons.

8 quad-1 games in a row. Sheesh.

That’s the big question. Is this just a long slump. Or is this just who he is when he doesn’t have a point guard to feed him or a dominant inside player that teams have to double team.

We also need Cam to turn things around. In the four games since Kentucky, he's just been bad.

8-24 from the floor (5-6 against Ole Miss)
0-6 from three
0-4 free throws
20 turnovers
26 rebounds (11 against Ole Miss)

I think we get them in a close one this week at Starkville. It is crazy to think the national title is going to be impacted in the state of Alabama between Bama and Auburn this year.

 

[mcfly.sixpack]

8 quad-1 games in a row. Sheesh.

We’re the only school in the conference thus far to play @Auburn and @Tennessee both of which were on the quick turnaround Tuesday. Now that Vandy is ranked, 6/8 games in January were vs AP top 25 teams, the only two were both games vs USC with one of those on the the road. We have played as hard of a conference schedule so far as anyone in any conference in the country.
