We need to find a way to win the next two games.

Definitely good to get a win. When we shoot 60% (9-15) from the 3 and 15-17 at the line, we should have a chance for a win. Especially true when the opposition goes 5-15 at the line.

Kentucky and Florida.... that's gonna be tough, I think most of us would be thrilled with a split.

If we're ever going to beat UK, this is the time. I'll believe it when I see it.

It was nice to get a win, so the question is what is sustainable and what was fluky?

We only attempted 15 3's, and at least 10 of them were taken by guys who have proven themselves to be good shooters. I'm still not sold on Wheeler, Camara, or Fagan as 3-point threats, but generally, the shot selection was good, and I hope this is sustainable.

The free throw shooting was good. 88% may not be sustainable, but 70% as a team is.

Ole Miss inability to hit a 3 or a free throw in the first half felt a little fluky and kept us in the game. I'm not sure we can count on a gift like that from many other teams on the schedule.

I remain bearish about this team's prospects. I can only find 3 or 4 more winnable games on the schedule (Ole Miss, A&M, and Vandy...maybe South Carolina?). Hope I'm wrong!

I said we needed to beat Kentucky and Florida. Would like to get another win Saturday.
