So, I know on the Boogs site Matt posted about Kempom has us going 13 - 5 in SEC play. I could see this happening. I think we have a 99% chance to win home games. We just look so much better at home than road or neutral site games. This would put us at 24 - 7 which would put us at a 3 or 4 seed in dance more than likely. I predict more of a 14 - 4. Until we get rotation down, I could see us struggle in some road games.

I'm hoping that with a pretty veteran squad that we'll be better during sec play in road games. All those guys besides doughty should have played in almost all those arenas before so it won't be totally unfamiliar territory for them. IDK, just being hopeful. I don't think 13-5 will win the regular season again this year though

I think UT maybe the best team and think 15 could win the SEC. I think we finish 2nd behind Vols. I hope I am wrong. I do think we will beat them at home.
 
I’ll just go full boog and say 15-3. Definitely expect to win out at the Clam.

I do think it helps all our guys have played games in SEC venues and won in most of them.

Shouldn’t have to deal with some BS like we did at NC St not getting a shoot around and playing with some fugged up ball. Not gonna play anyone remotely on par with Duke.

The scientists at TR have us as a pretty decisive favorite in every game except @ UK and @MSU:

I think Wiley is the key. I hope we are working hard this week on our post feeds as Wiley can feast in almost every match-up this year. At home, we may not need him at all in most games, but on the road, make him our first option and I think it will yield good results. Getting off to a good start on offense with him will get our shooters open looks that we are more likely to knock down once the flow of the game has been established.

On record, I think 15-3 is attainable. That would assume losses @UK and @MSU along with one more road game along the way. UT is pretty good and could be capable of going 16-2. I def don't see them losing 4 games in conference play. Would be nice if a couple of teams jumped on them early as was the case last year when they dropped a few in the first half of the schedule.
 
16-2. Bruce is making the HYG throw up in trash cans this week and the boys will be extra hungry. Unfinished business about to be finished.
That would be an incredible run. Certainly have the talent to do it. Just have to put it all together. I sound like a broken record but I think there will be a direct correlation between our road record and the amount we commit to leaning on Austin. Dude can average 20+ per game on the road in the SEC if we give him the opportunity to ball out.
