I'll be rooting for the good guys every game, as always, but this is not a top 25 team.  I can't predict what NET will say about our cupcake schedule coming up, but come on.

I like your music takes but you know fuck all about basketball. 

This team is kinda nasty and absolutely a SS contender. 

We'll see if they get there.

It is hardly a cupcake schedule. Seven of the eight remaining games are against Kenpom top-50 teams including #6 Alabama. Just about every game is against the equivalent of a tourney team. Most D1 teams don't face a stretch of games that hard all year.  It just seems easy compared to the brutal early schedule.

Net and KenPom are ranking us appropriately. We can beat anyone. We only lost by 5 to #1 Auburn and by 4 to #4 Tennessee. We should have beaten Ole Miss on the road. We can be frustrating AF, but will be a very hard out for whoever plays us. And we are getting better.

Oh come on, you know what I meant.  Our remaining conference schedule is (conference standings):  #14, #8, #2, #9, #16, #14, #13, #10, #12

(God forbid I got one of those wrong.)

I don't know if we're a top 25 team but in the last 4 games we've played #22 Missouri (won by 8), #13 A&M (won by 1), #23 Ole Miss on the road (lost by 3), LSU (won by 31).

We are certainly playing like a top 25 caliber-ish team recently.

Oh, I understand.  I'm just going on the eye test as someone who has paid close attention to this program for 40 years.  I'm no expert, though, but man we look rough at times.
