What a double whammy...

Two consecutive road sec games. Two late comebacks from down double digits. Two terrible reffing jobs. Two heartbreaking losses that we should have won. Very discouraging. Make that a triple whammy. This effectively ends our NCAAT hopes. Or at least puts em in miracle status.

The most painful back to back losses, I can ever recall. Both to sec east, both on the road, both against black and gold. Both down double digits (12) with not much time left. Only to come back and take a lead in both. Both games, get hammered by officiating once we take the lead. Just wow. I wish I didn't give a ****. They both hurt bad.

I think we’re going to be really good next year as we figure out how to win games like the last two on the road, but it sure sucks right now.

Just need to get back on track Saturday against Ole Miss. Then we’ll see what happens against A&M on Tuesday. Historically Howland teams have played really well against them. Beat them last year and then lost twice by a total of three points two years ago when they won the SEC.

I think it’s importanf that we get to 9-9 at a minimum though. I’m not sure we are a lock for the NIT at 8-10.

The most painful

part to me is that they were just starting to win back the fair weather fans, and now the simplicity of these fans' minds combined with these games, will turn them right back away.

We probably went from having 8000 folks at the game Saturday to 6000.

I do think we’re good enough to make a deep run in the SEC Tourney. Seven of our eight losses are on the road, and all but two of them were close games. I think we could be dangerous on a neutral court. It all depends on matchups, though. Right now we would be in the 8 vs. 9 game against A&M and would have to play Auburn in the second game if we won. I’m not sure that’s a recipe for success for us.
