Omnibus Thread on SEC Tournament...

[TIDE-HSV]

I hear ya but I think there are many players who will stay their entire college career and not as many who will leave early. And if they do - so be it. It was meant to be.

I'm 65 and because I was around in the "old days" when money didn't permeate our sports as much, it's hard sometimes for me to be flexible in my thinking about how our world is changing and it's just a matter of each player taking their piece of the pie like everyone else seems to be.

Back to Kira.....IMHO because of his natural talent, he could be an NBA starter tonight. With each subsequent year in the pros with the right mentoring his potential could be limitless.

I'd like to see him come back just from a selfish POV because he's so good for our sport and I know it would make many of my friends here happy. He'll just have to make that decision just as Tua did and many before.

I think, in the end, the $$ will talk. However, there's a better than average chance that he stays. I understand the parents are solid and are not the helicopter parents we're accustomed to seeing with young star players...

Thrashed the Viles on their home court.

Bruce must really hate UT. They haven't beaten us in a while.

Down goes UF after a monster comeback from UK. We're the two seed.

We blew it big time. Credit to the Cats.....

10+, top 4, dancing with the S16 as our ceiling.

Pretty good prognostication. Think we'll be a 5 seed though and probably a popular pick for a 12-5 upset.

Samir doing what he did gives me hope though. He keeps playing like that, we may go deeper than the second week.

Tough loss. Cats were a steamroller though.

AUDub you are going win SECT again.

We can beat anyone, and dodging UK until Sunday is huge.

But I doubt it. We're also one of those teams than can lose to anyone.

To say SEC basketball this season is crazy is an understatement.

To say SEC basketball this season is crazy is an understatement.

The fact that was the best we've looked all year is promising. Maybe we're peaking again at the right time.

Either way I'm glad we've got Bruce. 20 win seasons were a rarity for us, and now we're 3 for our last 3, with every plaudit out there except for the NC.

and we stink.

You're thin and got screwed by injury. Give Oats time.

 

[BAMAVILLE]

and we stink.

I want the mlingerfelt back that was optimistic when we were winning lol

 

[mlingerfelt31]

I am back lol I never seen a poor performance on a game like that yesterday.

 

[BamaMike05]

Is there a bigger fan of Bruce Pearl than Bruce Pearl?

The NCAA seems to follow him everywhere he goes, so maybe they are his biggest fans?! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I feel you, I'm trusting it will get better

 

[mlingerfelt31]

I feel better our baseball is 15-1 right now in CBB in his 3rd year ranked 25.

You know, I would gladly "settle" for that.

 

[BamaMoon]

I'd take the Bama team that played Auburn in our regular-season games this year in the SECT...preferably the team from 1-15.

 

[AUDub]

Welp, might as well look on to next season.

And we're losing practically everything. I don't expect too much and it is very difficult to prognosticate. Bruce isn't above having a rebuilding year, even with the addition of Sharife Cooper and (maybe) Jalen Green.

If we somehow land Greg Brown, though, we're an automatic contender again.
