A lot of overlap between these two teams; with the advantage. Anthony Robinson ii was Tre Donaldson’s teammate in HS — Tre was one year older. Jai Lucas coached Mark Mitchell at Duke. And Marcus Allen played at Mizzou last year.
 
They started January by beating UF and Kentucky, but were really inconsistent after that. Lost to an Ole Miss team that we handled in non-conference, got destroyed on the road against Alabama and a bad South Carolina team, but then randomly beat Vanderbilt and Tennessee at home February. Haven't won a game since beating one of the worst teams in the SEC - Miss St. - in late February.
