Mizzou at Arkansas should be good. Calipari knows that a win over them would help their case lots.
What sucks is our SEC record is so bad that all those high ranking teams we beat and have tie breaker over we can't even likely catch so in a game of Tenn vs A&M I have no idea who to root for I normally root against the team we have a chance of catching in the standings but with our schedule and injuries and current record it feels like we have so little chance to catch the teams like Tennessee, A&M and Florida all teams we hold tie breaker over.
Why does Game Day even bother to pick games they all picked the favorite except 1 out of like 19 picks combined
Let the chips fall where they may. I’ve found my rooting doesn’t work much anyway.😜
Well, we hold the tiebreaker over Tennessee. Just one loss separates us in the loss column. So A&M holding serve at home would seem to benefit us there. Ole Miss has some tough games left on the schedule. If Vanderbilt can hold serve at home and get up as high as they got for UT and UK, then there is another small help. With Ole miss, games against Auburn, Tennessee and Florida, they could lose more as well.
Not much chance of seeing us run off an undefeated conference slate the remainder of the way, but stranger things have happened.
As long as we finish with one or two more losses, we can maintain a pretty high national seeding for the NCAA tournament. It has been a great year for basketball up and down with the quality of the conference this year, and I have no regrets the SEC is so tough this year. If we finish strong and win some of the big games, we will maintain our #3 projected seeding. Even dropping to a #4 would not be such a bad thing this year. I'll take our chances
We can still make a lot of noise, if Pope's Patchwork Rollercoaster Cats can get on a real ROLL ...
starting today would be nice... we shall see.
Go Big Blue !
One would think Oregon will have trouble at the Kohl Center today
Wisconsin 14
Oregon 15
first half, 11:50 togo

Ironically though A&M losing gives Kentucky a better shot of passing them up for the NCAA tournament seed. It is a push/pull thing.
Tennessee is like #5 overall and A&M might be like #8 or #9 overall.
Strange how bad Tennessee was from 3 in our 2 games when most other teams tear us apart from 3 and today Tennessee stroking that 3 ball with high %.
Chaz was 0/7 in our last game vs us and 5/5 today

dUKe, in their previous FIFTEEN games, have only had 3 quad one games, heading into the Ilinois game.
just sayin' ... I have a strong suspicion that playing the weak ACC schedule is going to come back to bite the blue devils
behind come March.
Another thought :
If winning quad one games is an important metric, then winning those games have to hold more weight than losing on the road IN YOUR OWN CONFERENCE. Losing on the road to Clemson also looks to be push on consideration this year for Kentucky.
I guess I've just got blue tinted goggles on, but of Kentucky's losses, only the Ohio State game and the Arkansas loss looks to me to be to teams that WILL NOT make the NCAA tournament.
... and Arkansas and OSU could still make it in. Teams get sky high to play us, as we all know. Considering that, I'm alright with everything we have gone thru in this rollercoaster year.

Texas A&M 32
Tennessee 31
3:42.
A&M got off to a good start, I don't think the Vols have led in this one yet, but it is tight. Looks to be tight throughout

Check the defensive “effort” of Fla state. Absolutely zero pressure on the ball… no hands up.. just jogging around
Yep must be nice to walk your way into a #1 seed with such a weak schedule. Kentucky has a habit of beating teams that end up as #1 seeds. Duke this year, Kansas a couple years back by 19 in their house and went on to win the title.
Lanier with a tough 2 ...
and the Vols head into the locker room at halftime with a 36 - 32 lead.....

I gotta think that the former PAC 12 teams that have to play road games (either in the Big ten or Big 12 this year ) are at a marked disadvantage having to travel so far for their road games in conference.
just seems to me that such a LONG trip to go on the road (wherever) is adding another layer of difficulty.

Really interested to see how our 7-10 guys keep developing. While I don’t think our chances are great getting a W tonight, you never know. When you have players like Brea, Almonor, even Noah and Perry, we could get hot. Williams is playing like Bill Walton. Oweh is gonna Oweh.
Other games that interest me are Mizz @ Arkansas (Mizz only a 1.5 pt fav), and Duke and Illinois (Duke is a 9.5 pt fav). Wait what???????? **9.5** Really??
This might be the easiest money made, and no I’m not a gambler. They really like them some Duke. Their best defender is still out, and Illinois is needing a good win bad, and it AIN’T @ Duke.

How are refs this bad ? Live it looked off Wisky on the replay CLEARLY off Wisky and the refs still gave Wisky the ball then on the inbounds it goes right off Wisky again and out of bounds....some say that BALL DONT LIE.
