The Sooners are reeling and in need of a big win. Hopefully their spirit is almost broken with Kentucky coming to town soon.

The Gators keep moving up the rankings. They have a ceiling that's lower than Auburn and some of the other top teams Clayton is probably a 2nd Round pick and they don't have a Broom or Flagg) and other top teams haven't taken a 20 point road loss to Tennessee, but they're definitely capable of reaching the Final Four.

They're currently #4 in KenPom's Adjusted O and #7 in KenPom's Adjusted D.

Duke (#2 & #4) and Houston (#10 & #3) are the only other teams who are top 10 in both. Not that KenPom is the end-all, be-all, but for reference, Auburn is currently #1 in AdjO and #14 in AdjD.

Three must-win games for UK if they are to be taken seriously for a postseason run: Vandy, Oklahoma, LSU. They will be underdogs in the other three.
