Now that we’ve had a large enough sample size that no one can question this... This team is just head and shoulders better than the rest of this conference. I’d be extremely disappointed if we didn’t run through this SBC tournament. It would have to be considered a colossal upset if we didn’t.

When this group decides they’re done with you, they drop the hammer like no team we’ve had here in a LOOOONG time.

These are the good ole days, so let’s enjoy it.

You are right about that MAT. This is a special year and we can't expect this every season. These guys just broke the school record for wins in a season. Seems like every game they set some type of record. Next one will be for the undefeated home season. Don't we have the 2nd longest home winning streak in the nation at this stage? This team may be setting the stage though for sustained excellence long term. They are providing great memories for us aren't they?

25 from the bench.

Miller, Broussard, Aucoin and Stalcup all tacet.

We’re saving him for Kentucky, Bill 😂

Think there is a good chance he is a starter come Saturday night.

[zephyr]

And, now he's in

And that's why we haven't played him as much.

Correct. Great year. All this while looking pedestrian at times and still whooping people. Impressive in its own right.

Stove is an absolute beast. After taking the court after the injury, Marlin was staring him down pointing at his head telling him to play smart. The guy immediately stands tall in the paint and takes a charge.

Marlin said after the game the decision to play Stove in the second half was because the trainer wanted him out on the court to run up and down a little bit.

It's a high ankle sprain. Those are painful as hell. Marlin said it was a significant injury and he might not be able to go on Saturday.

Rest for him is of the utmost importance but it would be nice if he could get out on the court just to start the game tomorrow. If he's too sore, we should obviously just get him some treatment and rest for next weekend.

High ankle. Damn. That could nag him for weeks. I say sit him until the SBC final, depending on matchups.

Let Ced jack some shots up for a week.
