Maybe/Hopefully I'm not alone but I was bitterly disappointed in our loss at Clemson.
We were ranked 4th, I bought in that we were all the way back and past getting beat on the road by an unranked team. Because that is what I wanted to believe...... but there are going to be plenty of places in this year's SEC like it.
I bought in too soon. We are still two studs away from being there. Two guys that just take #4 and his 20 rebounds and zero fouls line and say "No, little boy, not tonight"
Still, it was just a 4 point loss and all is not lost...... just gonna be a lot tougher than I was hoping/dreaming for.
Using the small sample size of Pope's one season in the Big12, they finished like 3-6 on the road and exact opposite 7-2 at home.... something like that. Also, the red line was below 33% from 3.... loss........ above 33% from 3.... win
So we need to turn Rupp into an absolute GD Fortress...... beating Arkansas, Auburn, Bama and UT there.... and steal one or two on the road..... we will get upset on the road again.
I think that can be done
