never gave up. Not sure where the 3 point shooting came from but that was awesome. Myers was great, Silva bounced back, Booker hit the clutch fouls shots, and almost everyone that played had some big baskets. Not giving up was the main thing. Very impressive, especially considering the revenge factor and that Florida just beat Kentucky at Rupp.
Be honest - did ANYBODY think we would go to Florida & win? I think not. Great win! Down 11 &

Wonderful win and I'll say straight up I didn't expect it. And excuse me, but I understand even less how we lost at home to Tennessee.
Pretty simple, we own the gators 
Yet some posters wanted to run Frank out of town a couple of weeks ago. A win over UK and at UF in the last week, and played ranked UT close at home. I bet they feel dumb now.
It was as simple as Silva getting ib foul trouble early vs Ut and us missing a few shots down ghe stretch that went down tonight!
This. Silva had 6 against UT. If he has his normal 16 we win. I think he was "worn down" from the uk game still
There is nothing to be ashamed of by losing to Tennessee.
Ding ding ding. That is the right answer. Had we made our free throws against UT and we would have won that game too.
No more predictions this year!
Just time to watch things unfold & Silva impose his will

Is Martin an effective BB coach? Hell yeah. All you nay sayers on this board will jump all over him when we lose games. Therefore, all you nay sayers kiss my big white axx. Wow that felt great. Go Cocks! D. Weaver
If we can find a way to whip Texas Tech that does a lot for national recognition since it’s a multi conference showdown.
That would be 3? wins over top 25 schools. Hold serve at home and win 1-2 more on the road we should have have enough juice after last year to get a bid in the big dance.

Myers won the game IMO but I think I saw a glimpse of Kotsar coming out of his brief slump. That means big things down the road.
Really enjoyed watching this win.
If Kotsar ever turns into the player he shows "flashes" of, wow. He looked like a "point forward" a few times last night the way he was scoring, passing, even handling the ball
They still love hall of fame coach Gregg Marshall
No, but a team that can achieve the two most recent wins shouldn't lose to Tennessee at home in front of 18,000. Hey, I used to say and think the same things about some of the losses the McGuire teams took. And it was a valid question then also.
11 games left & we see UF & UT again. Pulling 7 of these will not be easy and that is :
20 & 11 (double digit losses makes me nervous given our selection history)
Conference wise I would love 11 & 7 way more than 10 & 8, likely the difference between a 4th place & 6/7th (danger bubble zone).
Easy Answer, win 8 or more and leave them no way out.
If we finish with 19 wins or (hate to say 18) we will need a DEEP run in the SEC to get the selection committee attention.
20-11 makes us more appetizing after last year's run than we would be if it hadn't happened.
I agree, but I'm so nervous the committee won't care a shot glass worth about last year. I TOTALLY want to be wrong, but the blue bloods even in an off year seem to get the gift 8 seed. After the screw job in 2016, I firmly believe we have to remove all doubt and take it on numbers, RPI, and win a few SEC tourney games.
Always remember the selection committee hates us, this I'm sure of.
It's not black and white. Some teams aren't good matchups, some players aren't hitting shots, etc. They easily could have won that game and lost to Florida.

It amazes me how a few "fans" will always find something to complain about, even after a win. SMH. They must be real treats around the homestead.
Great win last night! I was nervous down the stretch.

I didn't think we'd win. Didn't watch the game, tbh.
Of course, I'm one that just sits back, and let's the season unfold as it may.

I acknowledge the matchup factor. But we'll quite possibly need to beat them sometime.
Last year was good in terms of credibility. People know what we are: blue collar, well-coached, not extremely talented.
Honestly, I did see this coming. I've been wrong plenty of times. But this one, I got right. Was thinking it based on our last game with them.
True but I am fearful those people aren’t in abundance on the selection committee
Mods can this be pinned?
Consistent inconsistency.
We also got blown out by Mizzou who just got blown out by Auburn.
Tennessee is a good basketball team. Those types of games can go either way. Gotta make free throws. We hit those and we win. Very important in games like that.
Not fact. I was impressed when we beat Duke in the regional finals and Florida in the Elite Eight last season. I was impressed when we beat UK last Tuesday night. A game which I attended. I was impressed when we came back to beat Michigan in the Outback Bowl. I was even impressed, if surprised, when we beat UF on the road last night. So your statement is manifestly untrue.
Mizzou would be a real factor in the SEC had Porter, Jr. not gone down in the first game. But that's the way the mop flops. Pretty amazed at Auburn.
