One thing that I have come to appreciate these last few games is that are rotation is very deep.  In past years I would cringe every time we rotated in some bench players.  Now it doesn't matter, the bench guys usually make a pretty good contribution when they are on the floor.

True dat, but we need Hale to get back to 100%.

Bingo! To do damage in the SEC & NCAA Tourney we need him, big time. His ball handling, size, and shooting are critical.

If you mean injuries, I'm not so sure that's his problem.

I think he means back in all ways, like confidence, mental toughness, health, playing ability, & attitude. That's how I see it. Hope you are at the MSU game Saturday to give us more insight into how he "looks."

Unless the team implodes, which doesn't seem likely as they're getting better every game, we're in already. A strong finish and a good showing in the SEC tourney and we're a 10 seed, maybe even a 9.

I really think if we finish extra strong, say 20-10, & win 2 in SEC Tourney, we can be a 7 seed. The 8/9 seed is a trap, if you win, then you face the #1 Seed. I would rather be a 10 or 11 seed than an 8/9.

No doubt about it. The stronger our finish the better our seeding. In your scenario we would finish 22-11. The committee looks at your overall body of work but also looks at how you are playing at the end of the season heading into Tournament time. We would finish 11-2 with losses to Kentucky and on Saturday to a good team in the SEC semi-final. That could push us higher than a 7 IMO.

It is great to even be having these discussions in CAJ first year that everyone wrote off as a rebuilding year.

No doubt he has set the bar high, CNS style, now comes the hard part of sustaining what he has started. I have no doubts of him accomplishing that either.

With CAJ's pedigree and a full year of recruiting under his belt, I guarantee there are some recruits taking notice.

I read that sentence 3 times looking for Brosky's sarcasm.  NONE.

Chech is still new at this. Only took me twice.

I wonder if our mindset is going to be to play hard for 40 minutes against Miss St.? If we can win aghainst them we are having a record worth the seeding thoughts of some of the others. I still right now can not see us above a #12 seed as yet. I would like to see where some of the others thing we could be a bit higher. RTR!
