Billy Donovan really should get that lip herpes looked at.

The Tigers seem out of sync even though they offset a 3 game losing streak with a 3 game winning streak after beating Vandy in CoMo last night. They are now tied for 4th in the SEC with a 7-6 record, and are 19-7 overall. They have work to do if they want an at large bid to the NCAAs. Here's what is left:

at Bama
at UGA
vs Miss St
vs aTm
at Tennessee
at SEC tournament

if they don't make the tourney it will only be because they will have lost games they should win. At least 3-2 then a game or two in the SEC and they are easily in.

[StL Dan]

I agree.

Of the next 5, they should win their two home games and win at 'bama. Winning at UGA and TN will be difficult, at best. That home loss to UGA in CoMo early in the season doesn't look nearly as bad now as it did then.

I was at the game last night. Was hoping to see Jabari Brown light it up so that was a little disappointing. Although I guess the more eggs he lays down the stretch the more likely we get to see him again next year.

Torren Jones really impressed me. He didn't fill up the stat sheet, but he has some talent and absolutely plays his ass off. I'd like to see him get more minutes. I think him, Wes Clark and JW3 could be a really good core by their junior and senior years.

The SEC has really been struggling in basketball these past few seasons. I feel like three or four teams will get into the tournament, but after Florida and Kentucky it's been a big bowl of meh for the most part. Looking at their remaining schedules, it seems like Missouri and Tennessee should be in good shape by the time they play in Knoxville, but both teams (especially UT) have been a little prone to inexplicable losses, so I guess you never know.

I'll definitely be in attendance for the game here next month.

Yeah, I might not be so eager to get to that Mizzou/Tennessee game. I think the bracketology folks still have them pegged as 11 seeds, but they're both trying really hard to miss the cut.

[StL Dan]

Missouri will probably beat Miss St and aTm by 15 to 20 points apiece in CoMo, then go to Knoxville and lose by 20.

I haven't followed closely, so I want to ask this to those of you who have.

What are the impressions of Haith after almost three full seasons? I'm talking everything from in-game decisions, recruiting...everything that goes into it.
