I really wish this team had a player like Chris Hines.

We aren't winning.

Time to overreact!

We are missing our second highest scorer and only interior presence.



has nothing to do with having and executing a plan. We knew he wasn't playing, plan for it. We've done this for years though. It's street ball. 2 guys playing and 3 standing around watching. The tactical acumen of the head coach is lacking, that or his ability to teach it to his players. This isn't the NBA where you have superstars on the court that can routinely make difficult shots, or where you can just isolate a guy and let him work. You need a tactical plan at this level. Grant couldn't do it and Avery can't either

Memphis whooping Cincinatti at halftime. Would move our win against them from Q3 to Q2

I'm fine with just playing the bench guys and getting them some experience against some good players. I don't want to risk another injury and we can use the rest. Let's just get ready for Thursday. As much as I would like to win the SEC Tournament, it would hurt us more than help us at this point.

So why are we playing street ball that relies on beating a guy man-to-man? You see lesser teams beat greater teams every march. Butler went to a national championship game. We need to make ourselves more difficult to defend through ball movement. Pay attention to our half court offense. We might as well be cemented to the floor

Your expectations aren't realistic. That is a very talented team which is using their interior presence and length to hurt us.

We don't have much of an interior presence without Hall. Some of those drives they made would have been blocked shots. Some of the drives we made would have been finishes.

We aren't deep.. especially with our big men. You can't lose a player like Hall playing your third game in three days and not expect to struggle.

Very unrealistic expectations.

Guys just aren't showing up today. That's why we're losing.

Did you see that block they just made? They don't have their big men missing so we lose two points there.

That has happened all first half. They are protecting their rim, we can't without Hall.

Second block at the rim as I type.

asking them to run a semblance of on offense is not unrealistic. I feel like I'm the only one watching this shite. I'm not bitching about missing shots, I'm bitching because we don't have a plan

We just got to the hoop twice and would have made 4 points but we get blocked by their big man.

They are allowed to have a ton of contact and have big men who are blocking our drives.

it drives me insane. We aren't talented enough to play that way, but we continue to play that way
