Is 11-6 (23-8) enough to get us in or will we need to win 1 or 2 in Fort Worth? Guess it will depend on who we beat and who we lose to. Not many chances for good wins but certainly ample opportunities for more bad losses like UGA

Losing 6 more? Pfft. Right now, we would be favored in all but 3 games the rest of the season.

And it wasn't a bad loss. It was a game we shoulda won - but not a bad loss. There are 7 teams ranked ahead of us with worse losses than this. Heck, UK has 2 losses that are much worse.

You want to talk about lack of opportunities for big wins, yes, they're limited right now. But let's be real, this isn't a bad loss.

Are you always this pessimistic, or is it just basic trolling?

I watch enough college basketball to know we will lose a handful more games. Going to lose a few of the road games at WS, Houston, SMU, UConn, Cincy and we aren't so great that we can expect to walk all over Tulsa, UCF, USF, and Tulane at their places. We have lost at all 4 recently. Also, in case you missed it- this past Saturday, a not so great Georgia team walked into FEF and beat us, so we are more than capable of losing at home to teams we should beat.

So basic trolling it is.

In case you missed it, we were without our #2 guy.

We won at UTK in a packed hostile arena when they were at full strength and not what they are now. Say what you want about that team but there won't be many road games in conference that will be tougher than that environment. At Wichita is really the only exception.

Every advanced metric out there says we're favored in all but 2-3 games down the stretch. But since you watch college bb, I guess you know better.

Lol

Teams literally lose on the road to lesser teams every single night. There’s actually a nice chunk of $ to be made if you know what you’re doing. But whatever floats your boat.
