re: Is today’s basketball game the biggest one in years

I'm kinda surprised that most of the people here are downplaying the overall importance of the game tonight when it actually is more than just another SEC wednesday game. So I'll make it clear for anyone that bothers with actually understanding the stakes at the point....

First off, you lose this game and Bama has a 2 game lead in the loss column and then you are looking at a stretch of the schedule that could literally end your season in a hurry if you let it...Lose to bama and then you'll walk into Rupp with all the pressure to win on you against a UK team that has a bunch of five star 18 years old children that could absolutely put one game together and just use the pure talent they have and if you let that game slip away then you are now three games back with a game vs. Texas A&M at home needing to win because you have to face two ranked teams in a row after that...Texas Tech who is the 12th ranked team overall and then the second game against Bama that would most likely still be in the top of the SEC and playing to get the best seed possible and at the same time LSU at the worst possible case could be coming in 1-3 in their last 4 games and would be in a spot where if they didn't win the rematch then it's over for them as an at large team. No more real chances for any real good wins on the schedule that would remain.

I realize that this is just one game being played and I'm playing worst case scenario here...But look you lose this game and watch how the whole season you have in mind could end up falling apart quickly if you aren't careful
