We?ve reached a soft stretch in our schedule

We need to sweep these six games. Because the closing stretch is murderous, and will determine our postseason seeds:

AU
@bammer
@SC
UK

If we win the next 6 and then close 2-2, we should be in good shape.

We owe SC, and I don't fear UK in .... Food City Whateveritscallednow ....  then again, UK has beaten us in Knoxville more than once after losing in Rupp, and they were missing a key player Saturday.  Still I like our chances.

 I also like our chances vs. Auburn at home.

We NEVER play well in bball in Tuskalooser, and this bammer team is really good.  That one will be tough for sure.

I could see 3-1 in that stretch. 

I know we play Junior at their place, but we didn't have our best game, and IMO they played as well as they could.  Their absolute best, maybe peak performance of the year vs. not our best effort and it was still close.

What do I mean by played their best?  They were 6-12 from 3 point range in the second half.  That isn't going to happen too often, even if a few of them were lapses on defense.  I'm not sure wide open players can consistently hit 50% from 3-point land...there is a reason its worth three, literally the average is always around 30% or so nationally for all teams.   And if it creeps up past that, they move the line farther out.
