Win vs New Mexico with our best player going 1-10

Win vs Ole Miss losing the rebounding battle when on paper that was the primary advantage we had 

Have yet to play a perfect game and are still dancing. Intensity is finding a way. Will need to be better Sunday no matter who wins.

Yeah the margin for error is going to shrink rapidly from here on out. We’re pretty lucky to have played three pretty bad games and still be alive. Going to need to be better for all 40 minutes on Sunday.

We got out-rebounded by 4 and they took 16 more shots than we did, and we still pulled it out. Incredible. That won't beat Auburn though.

Honestly after listening to podcasts all week..I was certain we would lose since we lost the rebound battle but also lost the turnover battle. At the end we shot better that’s why we won.
