We’re getting ready to go into our first conference game and there’s already so much this team has accomplished. Saturday, we’ll start our journey to the SEC regular season and SEC tournament Championships.
Earlier this season, we redeemed ourselves against North Carolina, Connecticut and Louisville. Our next mile stone will require a bit more perseverance and toughness. Kentucky always brings out the best in their opponents and Saturday will be no different.
What is differnt? This is the first time in a long time that I actually think teams fear playing us. We definitely lost our swagger and teams actually go into games believing they can win. That’s a far cry from the way things used to be.
If you’re not familiar of how dominate we’ve been in the past, just take a look at the table below. See how many more wins we have? It’s not like we we’re just a little better….we’re A LOT BETTER!

So just remember…this season is about more than winning some games. It’s about redemption. It’s about setting things right in the world. And it’s about making sure our opponents understand that their chances to win the conference are officially over. So now… let the beat downs begin!
And here’s just a little motivation for today’s game. Remeber the tornado tourny and the loss to Georgia?
