Moved up to 11...that seems about right to me.

Another overtime win at Arky.
79-76.

We are way too sporadic.

20-2. Great road win against a guy who dropped 40 on em'. I'll take that every night.

Nothing sporadic about a road win against a quality team.

Did I hear right that that was our 5th win in the last 30 years in Fayettenam? Is that right?

You heard it right. Our record in Bud Walton is abysmal....of course it is almost everywhere also.

YUGE win! Gotta win on Saturday now to have a chance at a regular season title.

Win is a win, especially on the road.

True. But man, those road wins are getting ugly!

3 OT wins this season already!

That's some quality character-building. It'll pay dividends in March.

This is such a scrappy team, for lack of a better term. There's no one that stands out to where you think, "Well, if this guy gets hot, he can carry us." Samir Doubt Me is the most productive overall, but he's wildly inconsistent. Okoro looks NBA ready one game, then like a true freshman the next. Wiley frustrates you because he looks like he just can't get over the hump and realize all that potential that goes with a 6'11" 250 pound frame. But he gives you enough. Same with so many players on this team. I guess it's kind of the sum of all parts. It works. And it works to the tune of 20-2.

Last night was huge IMO. Just as big as taking down UK. If you had said we go on the road to Arky and they have a guy go ape shit crazy for 40, I'd have said, okay 19-3. Let's get ready for the Fighting Basketball Burrows this weekend.

It's is also big because the next 2 are at home vs LSU and bama. I like our chances.

I do too. This is kind a moment where you say, "Okay, if you da' real deal, handle yo' bidnezz". Take these two down and you start getting peeps like Joe Linardi(sp?) talking about AU as a 1 or 2 seed.

I agree with the esteemed counselor. I'll give you the OM game was U.G.L.Y. But this one had a very different feel.

You know what's fun to me?

We're not sitting here in the middle of the season wondering if we have an outside shot of making the tournament. We're not talking about bubbles.

We're talking seeds and I like it.
