7 games left & we finally found our identity

[anon1787432961]

We win 5 of the next 7 and possibly 6.

A few takes.

1. Nick is the best guard defender in the country
2. We will out rebound every team we play other than Tenn
3. We will win the turnover/assist battle by 2 to 1 in every game
4. Just put $100 down that we go to the sweet 16. If we don't it was worth it.
5. The hump will continue to fill up more each game and Q needs a huge senior night thank you from all of us

Wont be shocked if we lose by 10+ at Bud Walton Saturday. This team has shown no consistency. One step forward and two back. Tonight was refreshing to see us play a good team and play hard for 40 minutes without lapses at the end of each half.

I've got tickets to the game in Knoxville. Hope you're on to something. Want to walk out of there proud of the team, win or lose.

Better late than never. State has a good team that’s still figuring out how to play together and maximize productivity. Making the tournament should be the goal, IMO, but like you, I could see this team getting hot and making a Sweet Sixteen run. I think that’s the ceiling, but what a foundation to build upon.

Yes.

I think we pull out a win Saturday. Hopefully they believe they can.

this is going to be a tough game for sure. Arkansas is no joke, and it’s a road game in a place we struggle to win at. It’s the toughest game out of the next 4. If we win the next 4 we should be safely in the NCAAT. If we drop one, then I feel like we have to win at @AU or @UT. I feel like @AU and @UT aren’t impossible task, and we could maybe seal one of those.

While I understand the skepticism, I think we’ve shown much more consistency during the last 2-3 weeks than fans are giving the team credit for. During the last week, we’ve played 2 of the 3 SEC teams that have clearly separated themselves from the rest of the pack, and we went toe to toe with both.

A month ago, we lost to the same Kentucky team by 20 pts, and we also played horribly against Bama. I fully agree that we need to see some games on the road before getting too excited, but I think we’ve started seeing much more consistent play as soon as Howland made roster adjustments to get Woodard/Perry more PT

Wrong....we still have a home game against a bad A&M team after Auburn and UT. We need 4 more wins and should have 4 already out there on the schedule in UGA, Mizzou, A&M, and at home against USC without even considering the Arkansas game. We beat Arkansas on Saturday, and you can probably forget about us being anywhere near the bubble from here on out.

This is true. I am not ready to say we've turned a corner yet but we've at least got the wheel turning.

I'd bet the hell out of State +10 on Saturday, I image it will be close to a pk either way. I think its highly unlikely we get beat that bad. Arkansas has played better their last 5 and I still can't believe they beat LSU in BR (they shot 55% from 3). As long as State shows up and Arkansas doesn't shoot 55% from 3 we should win.
