A 5 or a 6 seed means we get to start with an SEC bottom feeder and then only have a 3 or a 4 seed to deal with.. helping us avoid Bama or Tennessee (assuming those two teams are the top) until the semis or finals.

Anything lower and were not giving ourselves a good chance.

Going through both would be tough. Hopefully no matter what our seed us maybe UT or Bama get upset before we have to see them.

Really the last 5 games I'd like to see some separation between us and the other teams.

Like today we were expected to win by 2 and we won.......by 2. That really doesn't give me much confidence of winning 3 or 4 games in the SEC tournament.

I want to see us not only win these games but win by a greater amount to maybe show we are getting better here.

Which I think is likely. I think the top of the SEC is as weak as it's been in a while. Or at least ONE of the weaker years. Even when it's not us, you still had years with Florida and better Tennessee teams. The only team I don't think we can beat right now is Alabama.. but then again, we're getting better, and beating a team 3 times in a row isn't easy.

lol he also made the comment that he didn't know how Vegas could have us as a 2 point favorite today and it seems like Vegas is spot on again
The refs were spot on from what I saw..........I only watched the last 11-12 minutes.....but I saw enough to make me not tune back in for a while...........I get too mad over the bad calls.............

Disagree. No chance to get the rebound outside the 3 point line and shoot in 1.1 seconds.
Best chance was to hope UK did something stupid on the inbounds play. Fortunately we didnt.

You out two on the line , three around the circle , miss the FT high off the glass .. try to knock it out for a quick release .. or you have zero chance when you just throw it to the other end of the court like we did .. they went from a small chance to no chance imo

I would think the tip out to the 3 point line would eat up the 1 second. Also, doesn’t the ball have to hit the rim?

Sure does , but I'm 55 and haven't taken a shot in years and I guarantee you I can bounce one off the glass and draw iron and have the ball take a long bounce off

Congrats on the win. I thought after the fast start Auburn might do just enough, in the end, UK did just enough. Again, congrats on the win!
