I've got a column on the front. Keegan's got a postgame story coming. We've got a photo gallery that I can't get to publish so I'll try again after this.
*You ride or die with Blake Harris. You have to. He's the only point guard who POTENTIALLY has the upside to get you where you want to go.
*They need more out of Kevin Puryear OR Jontay Porter. Not both of them. But one of them has to do something.
*They have to get better at getting the ball to Jeremiah Tilmon, or anyone inside. Credit Illinois because the entire game plan was to take away paint touches, but you should get more than one in a half by accident.
*Not time to jump off a cliff, but this should wake us all up. Can they be a tournament team? Sure. Are they now? Not sure.
*It's no fun to lose this game, I know. But I picked this team 10-3/11-2 in the non-conference season WITH Michael Porter Jr. The fact that they're 10-3 without him is encouraging.
*So what's it take to dance? To come to the SEC Tournament in March and not have to win a game, I think you've got to go 11-7 in league play. Can this team do that? I think it can. But it won't be easy.
*They've got 11 days off. We don't. Will preview the Texas Bowl and head to Houston on Tuesday morning.
