How many still think Bama and Kentucky are wins

[hogsanity]

After watching Bama shut down young and seeing their PG thats going to be a though game and Kent is starting to figure things out but still not a good shooting team many nights.

[hawginbigd1]

The way this team has played the last 3 weeks if you mark a W down on any game the rest of the season your glasses are a little too red!

[porkinsons disease]

regular season,sec tourney, or elite 8?

[cardsNhogs]

Agree

[elksnort]

They are not playing near their potential. 

But this is not CMA's fault. At least this what I'm told.

Alabama has had their moments and Kentucky is not great

[Hawg Red]

I don't see any sure Ws or Ls left on the schedule. Just taking it a game at a time. We've won 3 in a row and that has me happy. Barford had a really bad game and the officiating was exceptionally horrible. I'm not worried about close wins. I've been that person before and it's pointless. We are winning. We can beat Alabama and Kentucky for sure. We can also lose to them. We'll see what happens. At A&M next.

[20gauge]

Every game we play the rest of the year will be just like what we have been seeing. It will do we make just enough plays for them to be wins. Or if the other team misses 3 point blank attempts at the end like tonight. Not a gimme game the rest of the way.

I'll take every win we can get. I think this team ends up around .500 in league, 1 game in the SEC tourney and probably the same result in the NCAA.

[rtr]

Every game is different, just have to keep winning close games.

[20gauge]

Bama seems to be a bad match up for us. The Sexton kid is the real deal.

I'd say you are about right.
I guess it's nice to not play very well and still win.

[jabber71]

So Arkansas beat OU who are better the us which means we were lucky. Then Alabama beats OU which means Alabama is better the us. Then we beat OSU who beat OU which means we are no good. Is that what your trying to say?

[Dropkick]

No. But when people were making their predictions last week for the rest of the season many were marking bama and ky as wins. Just wonder if they still feel that way. The hog win over ou was perhaps the best game the hogs have played start to finish against a quality opponent this season.

[jgphillips3]

Who the hell thought they were gimme's to begin with?  If you mark the schedule, you can find reasons to argue for win or lose but only a blind optimist is marking anything a guaranteed W right now.  Also, only a negative asshat would be marking them all L's.  I think most of us know we will have some hard fought wins and some tough losses coming.

When did people get so f'ng scared to just play the schedule and see what happens?? So the Albama that just got whipped by Ole Miss and beat the same Oklahoma team on their home court that we beat on a neutral court is scary now??? I never had them penciled in to beat Bama and I predicted Bama would beat OU. But it wouldn't surprise me if we beat them by 12 or lost by 12. That is what happens in good leagues.

[rtr]

I'll step out on the limb and say we win both.

[sadhogfan]

Gotta hate those though games.

[Dominicanhog]

I'll take 1-1...

[Dirty]

We held him under 30, so what's the big deal?

[Danny J]

I'll take 1-1...

with one small caveat...that the first 1 in the 1-1 is against UK...

[Hogsfan1981]

Logic of most people yes...but when you type it out they can't respond to it. Because at face value it looks retarded.

Bottom line is basketball this year is not so top heavy. No world beaters in the top 50 teams.

Any team can beat another team on any given night...from #1 to #50.

Top 25 has changed out more than any other year I can remember. Every team has bad night and great nights. We will need some more great nights.

Just keep improving. As for people on here complaining...just let them. Won't change anything.

I didn't have much hope for this season. I have been surprised with the team toughing out some close games.


I like this team. What you have is a bunch of football fans coming over...living and dying with every win/loss. Passionate but misguided.

I'm not sure what you mean by "still think."

If you don't respect the level of talent at UK, you're an idiot. But they're young and inconsistent, so it's defknitely winnable.

As for Bama, they've got the best player on the SEC, so if anyone thinks that one is an automatic win, they're not paying attention.

Two very tough teams. In order to win, we'll need to run the halfcourt offense through Gafford, play great defense on Sexton, and get some bench production.

[GoHogs1091]

Kentucky is mediocre because John Calipari is a mediocre Coach.

The future of SEC basketball is the following.

Ben Howland
Avery Johnson
Will Wade

I didn't put Bruce Pearl with the above because Pearl will probably get into some sort of NCAA trouble.

I never counted either one of those games as sure wins.  You would be crazy to.  But I do think we can win them.

Mr Mediocre just got the W @ #7 WVU.. with 5 freshman no less..  What's Wade done besides our game?  Howland is as big a cheater as Pearl and Avery wins a nice game and loses the next, he hasn't gotten anywhere yet... Calapari and UK will always be our bell cow ..Pearl, Martin and Anderson will win more than your 3....

Howland doesn't have to cheat.  He has put a ton of players into the NBA.  High School talent looks for a Coach who can get them into the NBA.

Wade has been recruiting very well so far at LSU.  We saw first hand his coaching when he totally out-coached Anderson in Bud Walton.

Avery Johnson has turned into a good in-game bench Coach.

The rest of the SEC basketball coaching is blah.

We will beat KY but lose @ AL

It's about time for A & M to come out of their daze and catch fire again....smdh

Ben Howland....one of the biggest D bags in basketball.....got his ass run from UCLA because the whole program was emabarassing the school, grades, pos players, zero attention to detail by the coach. Now he's 45-39 at MSU and 15-28 in the league while cheating his ass off and you are seriously calling him the future of this league. Put the bottle down and go to bed man.

Anderson is 1-3 against Howland, and that was with Howland rebuilding their program.

Howland is going to have a loaded experienced team next season.

Q. Weatherspoon   4 Star   All-SEC
N. Weatherspoon   4 Star  (it seems like 1 of the services had him ranked as a 5 Star)
Peters   4 Star
Carter   4 Star
Wright   4 Star
Herard   4 Star
Holman   4 Star
Ado   4 Star
Perry   5 Star
Woodard   4 Star
Stewart   4 Star

And MSU will finish behind us in the standings this year but I guess Ben will have that moral victory of a winning record against MA.

Howland always takes the fast forty to the ole woodshed.  And in a big way too.

[Razorback_Mack]

Howland always takes the fast forty to the woodshed.

Winning by 3 at home is the woodshed? Wow...what a concept.

Yes, they are misguided.  They should skip this pile of mediocre and just get ready for Van Horn and the baseball season.  They will be a lot happier.  I don't anything against Anderson but I said he would do here what he did at Missouri. And so he has, but you can't blame a duck for being a duck.  You look at his record at Missouri and here and he now has long and easy to read track record.

[hogfanny]

I don't know but at least 12202 and countin   still think you suck!

Wow! Recruiting like that to Starkville might just get a look from the boys at the NCAA. .

[Kevin]

The NCAA is too busy in cya mode over Michigan state to care 

Did not watch Kentucky. Bama did look good yesterday. They have what gives the hogs fits, a good quick point guard

[razorpimp]

Only way this Hog team beats @Alabama is to not press/trap, play tight half court defense, probably match up zone.  I actually think the key to beating Alabama is to slow it down....which I have little faith CMA will do...cannot get into a run/gun with them

[Capt. Hamm]

This team can beat anyone on any given night. That said, they can also get beat by anyone too.

[Dominicanhog]

you can say the same about most teams...

[Hoggish1]

Unfortunately yesterdays KY win gave them an idea of what they need down the stretch.  Not good.  Alabama is getting good coaching to go with two or three really talented players.
