Even without Maten & Harris. They're no more talented than we are, and have benefited from a weaker schedule: they didn't play anyone of note non-con, and played a weaker SEC schedule. They played both LSU & Mizzou - the bottom two teams in the conference - twice, as well as A&M who is bottom half. Of the top 6 teams in conference, they only played Florida twice. They also played Vandy twice and split with them.

Certainly no gimme, and we're gonna have to play one of our better games. But we took UK to the wire, and beat Bama on the road without Maten & Harris, so we can get her done at Arky.

If we can beat Aub & Ark, and a couple other things fall our way (most of which are likely), we can get a 5 or 6 seed in the SEC Tourney. That would be a much easier row to hoe than a 7, 8 or 9 seed.
