I’m only mad because of the damn rain of 3’s when State was in foul trouble. Just so dumb.
Pure coaching. Far from the 1st time we've done that this year.

Because we've lost too many of these type games. Dropping one or 2 might not be a big deal, but over the season they add up. It might not look like a big game right now, but at the end of the season we might think differently.


It's not that it isn't a big deal it's just not a game that should reasonably be melted over. State is a really solid team right now that was playing at home. Would have been an awesome game to steal but we were underdogs for a reason. The last 3 minutes were frustrating.

Just makes Tennessee a little bit bigger. If we give effort like we did these last 2 road games we got a shot.

We need to win a few of these games, yes. We won 1 on Saturday. We need to win 4 of the next 7 of these type games and we're in good shape. Big one Saturday.

I'm not pissed. My spirit broke against Mizzou. It's just frustration now

Exactly. Never been more mad than then. Tonight was close though.

Football loss to Clemson didn't even make me that mad

With our schedule, we shouldn't be put in this type of situation. It's ridiculous being in this situation

We've had some clunker losses that have hurt us, yea. But, all in all, expectations would probably a bit too high. I agree this team shouldn't be sweating Selection Sunday, but it also shouldn't be much more than a 6 or 7 seed imho.

UCF and Vanderbilt losses are the difference in where we are and that.

We have big wins, but not enough wins altogether.

We are NOT a good shooting team. So why in the hell do we keep getting teams in foul trouble, then settle back and start jacking up shots we couldn't hit in an empty gym? What the hell, Avery? You keep letting teams off the hook! Piss poor coaching. Drive, drive, drive, press the advantage. Why is that not the game plan? It's so obvious!

Not enough wins for what? As of right now we're in the NCAAT as a 9-10 seed.

These 2 games and the Ole Miss and Mizzou games stick with me. The Texas game does too, but just because we didn't want to be there.

Ole Miss was a tough road loss. It doesn't bother me.

Vanderbilt, Missouri and UCF bother me because we dicked around and still had opportunities to win.

Still, we're in good shape and have a chance to really boost ourselves on Saturday.

Ingram, to me, is the most disappointing. He's a veteran. The other two are freshmen. That doesn't excuse their piss poor play, but Ingram has no excuse.

Do we really have a shot Saturday? I'm asking... I know it's in Coleman which helps but isn't Tennessee a better version of Missou that will just physically grind us into the parquet?

I think Tennessee is just gonna grind us down. They are fundamentally better than us
