re: How much CBB have you watched so far(other than LSU)

You obviously haven’t watched any basketball. Arkansas is middle of the pack this year at best

Agreed. Arkansas does not belong in the top group right now. There is talent there and Muss is a good coach; so they’ll likely come around at some point; but they aren’t playing great right now.

If I had to place teams right now, I’d do it in tiers:

Tier 1 - the most complete teams
Bama and Auburn, unfortunately, right now. LSU out largely because half court offense is struggling. However, I’ll say that Auburn is not a stellar shooting team either at this moment.

Tier 2 - Good teams, great on one side, but struggling on another.
LSU, UK, and TN
These 3 are all good on D, with LSU and TN being elite at the moment. But all 3 have struggles on offense, especially shooting the ball. UK’s offense right now is largely built on offensive rebounding. Shut that down and you shut them down.

Tier 3 - Talent and coaching, but inconsistent.
Ark, Miss. St., UF in this category. Have had bright moments, but far too inconsistent and not really great at any one thing.

Tier 4 - rest of the pack
A&M (still good defensively, but horrible offense), Ole Miss, Vandy, Mizzou, UGA, SC
