I guess they were a bit upset about letting that game go to Florida.   :lol2:


Nice win.  But any win is a nice win in basketball. 

That was a MUST win.  We had a tough 4-game stretch to start SEC play.  If we can take 1 out of the next 2 (@UK and vs. Aub), I'll be satisfied with a 2-2 start.

Great job it sounds. I would love to see the next 2 come up W's. RTR!

I watched most of that game.  That is the best we have looked in years.  I'm almost ready to get back on the train.  :lol2:

Aight SC don't jump on to fasty. lol, RTR!

 :behave:

Wow.  I figured that might be the most basketball you've watched in years.   :lol:

The improvement this year is noticeable.  I figured this year would be a wash with a new coach... but I'm already anticipating next year's season.

Do I need to break this back out?

You might need this.   :lol:
