Title: I see a fairly easy path to the elite 8 Post by: Volznut on March 18, 2019, 05:09:46 EDT Forget the Auburn game - bad game, we have not played like that all year, especially turnovers, and won't again.
Colgate - They're not going to fare well, we are superior athletically and should dominate in the paint. They will hit a few 3s but as long as we take care of the ball we win easily. Second round - I see a matchup vs Iowa or Cinci. We would destroy Iowa, and Cincy will present more of a challenge, but I see us winning that one by 7-10 points Sweet 16 - I see us facing Villanova or Purdue. Villanova is good but they're not what they were last year. Purdue has a very good point guard, but otherwise we match up well. We would be favored against either one. Elite 8 - If UVA gets this far (not sure they will) they don't scare me much. Which #1 would you rather face? There really isn't another team that scares me on that side either.

And I would rather face Gonzaga than Virginia if we're going to get a 1-seed in the Elite Eight. But aside from that, I think it's a pretty good draw.
Lost in the disaster of yesterday was the re-emergence of Lamonte Turner. It sure looks like that game-winning shot against UK gave him his mojo back. If that's the case, this team is primed for a deep run.

If that's the case, this team is primed for a deep run. He actually played very well vs MSU as well. However, we have to hang on to the ball. That AU game was decided with turnovers Title: Re: I see a fairly easy path to the elite 8 Post by: FLVOL on March 18, 2019, 10:48:17 EDT However, we have to hang on to the ball. That AU game was decided with turnovers There were so many turnovers, I thought Gerald Riggs took up round ball Title: Re: I see a fairly easy path to the elite 8 Post by: Tnphil on March 18, 2019, 11:33:54 EDT Grant stood around....AS had what, 3-4 points? Turner scored well but didn't play much defense and had some TOs. This team needs to show they can play back to back good games which they have been Jekyll and Hyde on doing that for the past 2 months.
Cincy is under seeded IMO....If we meet them it will be a dogfight.

Title: Re: I see a fairly easy path to the elite 8 Post by: volsboy on March 21, 2019, 04:25:28 EDT It does look that way, but I also thought we had a pretty positive path to the regular season and tourney SEC championships. That didn't materialize. They just have to take these one game at a time and face each one of them with max intensity. No let downs.
Title: Re: I see a fairly easy path to the elite 8 Post by: Tnphil on March 21, 2019, 06:14:47 EDT The last 2 1/2 weeks of the season we played at 2 seed KY and played 2 seed KY at home.....We played 5 seed Miss State....played at 8 seed Ole Miss....Played at 3 seed LSU......played at 5 seed Auburn. Name another SEC team that did that over that time....Hell, name another team in the country that played that schedule and seeds the last 2 weeks of the season.

All 5 of our losses came to 5 seeds or higher. Title: Re: I see a fairly easy path to the elite 8 Post by: BanditVol on March 21, 2019, 09:28:33 EDT We got this
