I'll bring up the point that we have played the following road games thus far:

@Arkansas
@Alabama
@Florida
@Mississippi State
@Vandy

All of those are pretty good teams. What we have left on the road is:

@South Carolina
@Ole Miss
@Auburn


Now, If I had shown you those 8 games prior to the SEC season starting, how would you rank them in terms of the likelihood that we would win them?

I'd almost guarantee that the three we have upcoming would be the top 3 in some order


I thought before the season Ole Miss was supposed to be better than Arkansas. Nevertheless, yes, I understand the toughest road games are behind us, but we haven't really shown any ability even to be competitive on the road, save for one game in Starkville when we shot unusually well from 3-pt range. Of course, the sad thing about unusually good shooting is that it's...unusual.

But do keep in mind that I did say going 3-2 in the last 5 games is a reasonable expectation, even though it requires winning a road SEC game. Beating anyone, even a bad SEC team, on the road would be breaking new ground for this team. But then so is winning 5 SEC games in one season, I guess.

We played pretty well at Arkansas and at Vandy as well, the scores may not show it as much, but both of those games were close games (we were within 4 of Vandy with under 4:00 to go).
