2-2. I hope I'm wrong but I can't shake years worth of evidence of us getting to this point only to then having a head scratching loss and be back at square one.

I feel fairly confident we beat A&M, and I tend to think we lose to Florida. I can't make up on my mind on the Vandy and Ole Miss games so I'll say we split those two.

2-2. Lose to Vandy to blow the momentum. Win the next two to get everybody’s hopes up, then lose to Ole Miss to deflate them again.

3-1. I was initially worried about being able to handle Ole Miss' 1-3-1 press, but after watching Molinar and D. Smith on the court at the the same time against Missouri, not so much worried about that one. For some reason, I think we slip up against Vandy.

2-2. UF and Mississippi. Ben can't ever seem to beat Mississippi when he needs to

4-0 and everyone was 100% behind Howland all along and knew he was going to get it going**

I am cautiously optimistic that 4-0 will happen too.

And I've always thought BH would just keep it treading, not get it going.

4-0 is doable and Should happen.
In MSU fashion we go 1-3.
Realistically tho if we go 3-1 that is acceptable and again, probably most realistic.

I say 3-1.
I see mcdawg22 has already kind of beat me to this, but I had already answered it in my head, so here goes:

Win the next three. Fanbase is ready to buy back in. Lose to OM because they're red hot and we can't make anything. Fanbase blames streetball and a lack of hustle.

I haven’t watched y’all play, so what is your post defense like? Because we can’t shoot worth a ****. We are pretty good defensively, and can score in the paint, but if y’all can take that away (and I’m assuming you can with Ado), then all you will have to do is make a few shots.

I’m disappointed in where we are so far, in year 3 of Kermit, I won’t lie about it. I also think we’ve got a lot of potential, but we sure aren’t reaching it.

Don’t worry, we will help one of your random scrubs have a career day shooting the three. I’m still mad about the Blake Hinson game two years ago.

Haha, that was literally the only game he ever had. If it makes you feel better, I think it inflated his head so much he shot us out of about 3 games after that.

Defensive breakdowns and leaving some of our shooters open could wind up being a dominant defensive plan. We may get going at some point, but we haven’t yet.

4-0

Howland learned in the U.K. OT fiasco that he needed more guard play. D Smith needs more minutes and we are better when he plays more.


I’m an eternal optimist.

After watching Florida get smoked at home by Kentucky today, that game looks much more winnable next Saturday.
