Good slate - how we feeling about these matchups?

#24 Kentucky vs #5 Alabama

#29 Florida vs #232 Vanderbilt

#68 Ole Miss vs #57 South Carolina

#6 Tennessee vs #49 Texas A&M

#120 Arkansas vs #147 Missouri

#95 Georgia vs #7 Auburn

#85 LSU vs #36 Mississippi State

Bama always has it rough in Rupp...but the game that's interesting is Tennessee and A&M.
Vols have to keep pace.

Ole Miss/Carolina and LSU/State are really interesting games. Feels like a must win for Ole Miss and would be a huge road win for State to give themselves a little more room to breath seed line wise.

Do we know if Wrightsell will be back by Saturday?

Strong slate of games. Does Kentucky show up and play angry? Do they fold because they’ve essentially been eliminated from the conference championship picture? Which Bama shows up?

Gonna be a fun day.

Georgia has been competitive in every home game this year, leading in the 2nd half against UF, Bama, and TENN.

However, I think Auburn will absolutely crunch us. We are abused by solid bigs

It seemed like Kentucky's defense had turned the corner some last few weeks. Their athleticism could run Alabama off the 3, which has been how they have gotten beat in the past

I don't know about that. After holding Kentucky to 70 points but still losing by 11 at home, I don't know what to expect.

LSU seemed to space them out really well last night in the 2nd half. They are playing harder and with more attention to detail, but they do still tend to struggle with switches. On the other hand, they are really long and Sears has struggled mightily against rim protectors like they have on his drives.

Also, been really impressed with LSU in SEC play. McMahon has done a really good job. They play really hard and run good stuff on offense, especially when Cook isn't playing as the ball seems to stick to him when he plays and the ball movement slows way down. Great scorer and shooter, but offense seems to go from smooth 4 out stuff to more iso ball when he is running PG.
