Saturday in SEC basketball

[Coach34]

State at Auburn- 6-5 Dawgs face a must-win against Barbee's Tigers. We dont need an RPI kick in the jimmy that losing would give us.

Tennessee @ Bammer- 6-5 Tenn has been on a roll. Must win for 5-6 Bammer. Bama has the 4th best RPI in the SEC, they cant afford to lose this game if they are going to make the NCAA's

Mississippi @ Kentucky- 5-6 Miss is about to get beatdown in Rupp. NIT aGAIN for Kennedy

Florida @ UPig- 5-6 UPig needs this win to keep their NCAA dreams alive. Would get a big boost with a win

LSU @ SC- 5-6 LSU has to win this game to stay in the SEC race for that 4th spot.


Very big Saturday in the SEC

Obviously we need a win at AU. OM losing would be a nail in their coffin. What do we need in the other games? Probably need Ark to lose?

They have a 132 RPI and a loss there would be absolutely the most devastating. Out of this slate, I don't think Florida/Arkansas game or the Bama/Tennessee game would make any real impact. LSU needs to win, though... Georgia lost to South Carolina... if LSU does, that's really going to a) hurt us even more and b) make me worry about playing @South Carolina.

It's about as big of a "must win" game as we've had all season. It sucks when you <span style="font-style: italic;">have</span> to win on the road. But that's what happens when you don't take care of your home court.

LSU was a bad loss... because we were up 17 points and went to sleep in the first half. However, Georgia had all the makings of a true trap game. I remember Coach34 saying this stretch would define our seeding, but I'm almost certain he was assuming we'd beat Georgia. We lost at home in a trap game and now all the momentum of this road stretch has been sucked out of us and we have to save our season on the road against a bad team (by the numbers) that almost beat us at home. I'll be honest... I'm worried sick about this game and will be glad when it's over. It will either set us up well for Kentucky and Bama next week and we can breath a little easier. Lose, we better have a good sell on selection Sunday.

I've been worried about losingat South Carolina ever since the Georgia game.Especially since our own coach thinks we're the underdogs in that game.

As bad as MSU is, look how bad all the other pretenders are.

I have seen better looking potential "dates" in a Sheep Pen.

Gosh We must be awful to be lumped in with that mass of cow dung.

Now....back to baseball for me.

 

[00Dawg]

You want the teams we play twice to win. However, that doesn't necessarily help our standing chances.

If they win against UT, theyll have some serious mojo on their side, just in time w/main 2 stars coming back, just in time for our game against them in ttown next Sat. That will be a very tough game for us. We could be battling with Bama for that 4th and final SEC slot come selection Sunday. With them finishing strong down the stretch & w/ us struggling... I could see the committee giving Bama the benefit of the doubt, since they had some suspensions that could have resulted in their struggles. So yeah, Ill be against Bama Sat for sure!

 

[drt7891]

but I have not expected us to win at Bama all year and still don't. We take care of business at Auburn, South Carolina, and Arkansas, we are in the tournament. Bama may get a higher seed, but them beating us won't keep us out.
