Closing w 5 Quad 1 games in a row

Tenn (9), @FL (54), KY (3), LSU (16), @Tenn (9)–

About the toughest closing stretch I can remember. We could range from going 5-0 and ending up a 2 seed to going 0-5 and ending up on the bubble.

2-3 probably keeps us about at our current 6-7 seed line.

Should be fun!

We jumped to #30 in NET this morning after beating Misery. Florida dropped from #49 to #54 after losing to the Ags but that’s still Q1 for a road game. OU dropped to #39 but that’s still Q1 for neutral site.

Vandy remains at #76; #75 would make them Q2. Unfortunately they play at Auburn tonight but maybe the boost in SOS would move them up. Hofstra is actually on a bit of a hot streak and has climbed into the top 100, so they’re no longer a Q3 loss for neutral site, although the NCAA is still treating NLR as a home game.

Rick Barnes says vols have the toughest 5 game schedule that’s left and two of those teams are georgia and mizzou which are bottom rung schools. WHAT’S he thinking??? GHG!

Of course he was. It just amazes me how some coaches will ooh nm. No need in opening a can of worms.

On the SEC network last night they said the hogs have the toughest 5 game stretch to close the regular season in
D-1 basketball! So I will trust run over Rick Barnes. Of course he is looking at the 2 games he plays our hogs too!

If ever there were a road game, this is it. Awful venue. Awful history. Awful travel for our team. Why do we do this?

The hogs haven’t ever played worth a hoot in NLR! Heck get the old Pune Bluff Convention Center up and running and play there at least there’s some next history there. Maybe invite North Carolina again!

Ask LDHog how I feel about playing in LR. The very thought of it makes my blood boil.

Home games should be played in the Bud!
