UT down 21-0 in the 1st quarter gives me great joy.

Please go ahead and beat the everloving shit out of Tennessee. That will make me feel a little better.
Looking at the boxscore, after a 20 point beatdown, I was surprised at how close the stats were. Just a horrendous shooting night. I'm not a basketball, but it LOOKS, to my untrained eye, that we're trying, more and more, to beat our guys off the dribble, especially down low. We don't have those horses. Defense? We're going to have to start zoning a LOT more, and make teams beat us from three.

I'm not going to freak out about a loss 4 days before Christmas in NYC. Those dudes looked like they were mentally already on the plane to see the family.
Biggest worry is we have to get backup point sorted out. We need Kerr back ASAP or Chandler to start picking up at least some real minutes at guard to lessen the burden on Lamont having to play every single minute of every game. I'm not super pumped about the play of Amari Williams of late, either.
Moving on.

There have been a number of warning signs that a performance like last night was coming. For a veteran team, it's disappointing how disengaged they were. Basically already had their minds on the plane ride home for eggnog and cookies.
I think this game is an anomaly in the grand scheme. But it might be a seed line hit come March. 3-2 against P5 (+Gonzaga) OOC teams with wins against Duke and the Zags will be nice for the resume, but the losses to Clemson and OSU really sting. I think 11-12 SEC wins still gets us a 2 seed. But damn, that's going to be a gauntlet.

The SEC schedule this year is going to resemble an SEC football schedule - heavyweight matchups every week.
I've read that UK supposedly has the toughest remaining schedule in the country, but I was curious so I looked closer. Right now, there's probably a Big 5 group of SEC teams (which could easily change, and quickly).
But among the current "Big 5":
UK has 5 home and 4 road games vs ranked teams.
Auburn, Bama and Florida also have 5 home, 4 road games vs ranked teams, while UT has 3 home, 6 away.
UK, UT and Bama each have 6 games vs the "Big 5", while Auburn and UF each have 5.
Not to say that other teams won't have major impact: they almost certainly will.
Gonna be a gauntlet.
