All of that.
But, a win is a win; I'll take it.

we are 2 games away from our SEC schedule. We are going to get absolutely murdered if we continue to play like this
Posted on 12/23/14 at 9:20 pm to GenesChin
Yep. I bet the next practice is a bitch.

Make 'em all puke next practice.
There is absolutely no progress being made...and I thought they were turning the corner during the Xavier game.

If Reed continues to improve and we can consistently play like we did 2nd half vs Xavier, I see potential for 18-20 wins.
If we keep playing like we did tonight, I think we are hardpressed to get to 16 wins.

Updated OP With some stats

All points are true and I'm glad we have a coach that can state the obvious instead of coach-speaking his way around questions.
SEC play will be unpredictable. Most teams aren't any better than us (besides UK obviously) but we have no depth so we will get worn out constantly playing AQ teams

well we have a couple of what should be easy wins ahead to hopefully get some offensive rhythm before the SEC schedule.

We can't afford to get down 10 points in the second half to SEC teams. Our SEC slate is a little rough in terms of road/home too

Coach wasn't happy on the post game show with Bramlett. He said he felt like we lost the game and is frustrated with the inconsistency. Only bright spot was the way we competed in the 2nd half. Team will have 2 days off to go home before starting preperations for MTSU game on the 29th.

I am watching the UNLV vs UArizona game and I wish we could be at their level. It is such a different game.

IMO, we can get there if Pearl stays. He inherited a train wreck. Our talent sucks. He is trying to polish a turd right now. It will just take a few recruiting classes to get to where he wants us to be.

I agree. Other than that, we aren't bad.
