At 12-5, 3-1, I’m not sure they aren’t the second or third best team in the conference this year. If they beat us tonight I’ll be even more confident saying that. They are quick and athletic and have 2 really good post players, which means we do not match up well against them. They lead the nation in blocked shots. They are the youngest team in the conference, and have 8 freshmen and sophomores who average over 10 minutes a game. But they start a senior and two juniors. Plus they have one of the best coaches in the conference in Joni Taylor despite this being just her 4th year.

The 55-41 throttling they gave us in the SEC tournament is still fresh in my mind I guess. Their 12-5 record is deceiving, having led in all 5 losses. They had a second half lead against a top 10 Maryland team, and led Miss State on the road with just 6 minutes to go in the game. Then came back from a 17 point deficit to beat Tennessee last Sunday.

They also have a very favorable schedule, with 6 games left still against Florida, Alabama, and Arkansas, plus one with Ole Miss. After tonight their only tough remaining road game is at SC, and they get Kentucky and TAMU at home. They only play Miss St and Tennessee once and those are out of the way.

It’s going to take our best effort to win tonight and, as usual, someone other than Sophie and Amber needs to step up and score. With road games following at SC and Kentucky, tonight is where the season could start slipping away. Really critical game.
