WVU won't be a cupcake. Doubt we lose to Auburn, UF or Arkansas. WVU, maybe A&M, and a couple we weren't supposed to lose (UT, someone else?).
There is a decent chance we'd be underdogs @UT if we played tomorrow.
The SEC schedule lacks opportunities for an easy game or a night off. Any of the teams are capable of knocking us off, especially on the road. Ole Miss, for example, is currently the worst team in the SEC and they're close to Vermont, a team that played us close in Rupp.
A tougher than usual SEC schedule yields more chances for quality wins, but at the expense of our winrate. We can be strong and a real tourney threat even with 6-7 losses in conference play.
