Young team still too.

Auburn has stunned me. *Never* would've expected them to be at one loss, even with their schedule, without Purefoy and Wiley. Three Tier A road wins and a double-digit home win over Arkansas.

People keep saying Florida will be better when Egbunu gets back, but (a) no one knows how effective he'll be, and (b) their problems aren't *really* Stone/Hayes. Their problem is style dictated by the height of their backcourt/wings-- they want to speed up and turn you over, but that style will give up a lot of open 3s-- teams shoot 40%+ from 3 in conference. They also can't dribble drive effectively for the same reason-- they are more jump-shot reliant/draw fewer fouls than anyone else in conference. Egbunu would help grab offensive boards... but he ain't solving those problems.

Can't believe how hard A&M is imploding. They have *so* much talent. Robert Williams, Miles Bridges, Bruce Brown, Allonzo Trier-- should've left last year.
