Looks like they finally got smart and are doing the Senior Night stuff after the game instead of before it.

Never been good to put the emotional stuff for players right before the game at risk of destroying their concentration and focus.
 
I went to the game and, of course, the victory was all due to my efforts and mine alone. LOL

Two slices of pizza, a Coke, AND ice cream, but still no dang NIL money. Fire Tanner. LOL

The same number of fans in the stands as for the MSST game. Coaches, players, and fans equally engaged as in that game as well.

An electric atmosphere the whole game.

Wildens was playing soft in the paint probably to protect the cut on his forehead. I presume he may have needed stitches for that one, but I haven't watched the Bama game yet and probably won't, so I don't know.

I stayed for the Senior Night stuff after the game was over. Lots of mutual admiration and respect between the parents, players, and Frank judging by the looks on their faces on the Jumbotron. It was undoubtedly a good emotional boost for the team after a tough season.

Frank's teams have always played better later in the season after the parents come to town. I believe the emotional boost from last night's game will give the team a chance to upset Auburn and do some damage in the SECT. We'll see what happens.
 
Here are the current SEC standings after last night's games:

You have to think AUB, Bama and ARK will beat LSU, MSST and TAMU and give us some more separation in the standings.

I still think we can find that extra gear to beat teams like Auburn and others because that's what Frank's 2016-17 Final Four team did late in the season.

A&M beat Bama, setting up a 3-way tie for 5th (in which case we'd get the 7 seed in the SECT). Everything is still very much up in the air though. Best case scenario is us, Kentucky, and LSU winning this weekend, giving us sole possession of 5th place. I think the most likely scenario to end the year is Bama 5th (by beating LSU) and us in a 3-way tie for 6th. It would be us (lose to Auburn), Florida (lose to Kentucky) and the winner of the A&M - Miss St game. I don't think it matters who wins A&M - Miss St as I think tiebreakers in both cases put us at the 8 seed.

Everybody knows we would have beat SC State and been at 19-11 at this point, too.

I believe we were picked to finish, what, #13 or 14 in the pre-season polls.

Ending up a middle-seed in the SECT with basically a new group of players in a new system is still a great coaching job, though.

I still think the team may find a way to improve and beat Auburn, but we'll see.

I watched the last few minutes of the LSU/ARK game last night and it was a great finish.
