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?


Tennessee is a really good club. Williams is great in the paint but they aren't exactly a shrink the floor pound on you team.

It'll be tough. Going to have to play a very good game and do it for 2 halves.

Why are we acting like losing this game is some sort of travesty?

2 big ones coming up. Have to beat LSU, really need to beat Tennessee to feel good about things.


Because this is what this board does. Mississippi State is a tournament quality team. They were favored in this game. But obviously we lost because we "shite the bed" and are an NIT team.

It's a home conference game, so of course we have a shot. I don't think Tennessee is like Mizzou. Mizzou plays awful basketball. Tennessee is probably the cleanest offensive team in the SEC.

I agree with your previous posts George, but I'd be lying if I said I don't have a bad feeling. UT may be the best team we've played. It's gonna be very hard to win 4 of these last 7.

Even 3+1 in the tournament will be tough.

It's amazing how bad we are shooting wise. I get the frustration over them not attacking the basket, but good God can we not just make a few shots?

We shot around 13% from 3 tonight.

I do not feel good about Saturday.

LSU, Arkansas and Florida all at home are big time must wins. However, I don't think you can trust us to win all 3. That means we really need to win 2 of the others, probably, meaning 2 of @ UK, @ A&M, @ AU and Tennessee.

Honestly, I think @ UK might be the most stealable other game. I think that's a pretty decent matchup for us.

Alabama was simply awful shooting the ball on Tuesday night. The Crimson Tide shot 37 percent (18-49) from the floor and 14 percent (3-22) from the three-point line.

Alabama went cold at the worst possible time, not scoring for a stretch of 2:16 as the game entered crunch time. During that time, Alabama made 1-of-9 field goal attempts. That’s not going to get it done against anyone in a close game on the road.

I guess we should be excited about this performance

No one, but people think we shouldn't be critical.
If that isn't "shitting the bed" then I don't know what is.

Aren't gonna win many games shooting like that. Why did Ingram only play 12 minutes? I know foul trouble got him out early in the 1st half. Was it that way all game? Was he in when we were settling for jump shots at the end of the game?

If our season comes down to going into Rupp and stealing a win we are pretty much fricked.

I don't feel like the criticism has been unjustly handed out. It annoys me when people try to act like being frustrated and pissed off is a bad thing. Mediocre isn't good and when people are happy with that, then that's a problem.

I'm not mad at the Miss St. game and I understand that they are a decent team. I'm pissed at our program. We should want the same kind of success in basketball that we want from football. Hallelujah and holy shite, where's the Tylenol

He was out of sorts most of the game.

State also did a nice job of collapsing on drives and not overpursing from the backside. Really limited our normal drive and dump stuff.

And, we missed a lot of the open corner 3 looks we got.

Oh I know, I respect it when you get heated. That's what fans who want and expect better should always do
