Going with 9 since Shorter doesn't count.

In an ideal world, we should and hopefully will win all the non uga, VCU, Tenn, PSU games but I recognize that may not happen. Think we can win 2 of those 4 as well. Worst case scenario I'd say 7-5, best case 10-2

9

I think we win at Rocky Top

I was counting Shorter in my 9, but either UT or UGA.
6-10 seems like a good range, probably towards the higher end?

How much having Heath back is a question.My guess ,not too much.

Just so we keep things in perspective, Miss State lost by 25 tonight.

Lol here we go

I am not sure what this means, except to show the game tonight will be much tougher. Ohio beat Sam Houston by 21. Sam Houston beat Southern by 8 last night. The game flow was very much like our game Monday with one exception: Southern hit threes in the final minutes to cut the lead from 17.

I think it is safe to say we are moving up the food chain tonight. tougher competition - legit mid major team. I think they are even favored last time I looked. All the shiny new toys look good so far but tonight we get a chance to see what happens when we get punched and don't simply have more talent. Can we still run uptempo, can we defend a legit 3 point threat, was rebounding simply long rebounds or do we have a real issue, can we shoot or drive when Lammers gets taken away. Lot of things I want to see.

FWIW a win makes everyone a lot happier (obviously) but a loss doesn't necessarily mean the coaching is now bad or we won't win even one game in the ACC or anything like that. Win or lose this year is still a "low expectation year".
