Hall is rested and ready. Avery's biggest coaching job is to get these guys to not come out and not play like they are scared to death. They cant come out and miss 10 (or 19) straight shots and have any hope of winning. And that is the problem with playing a bunch of freshmen. Will they freeze up under the big lights.

Hall is on the court in his practice gear right now. Who knows?

Mike Davis evens up his tourney record at 8-8. That's pretty good. Good win!

Avery with some gamesmanship about Halls injury. I like it.

The team acted like, in typical freshmen fashion, they had won the SEC Tournament after they got into the NCAAT.

I've said it a few times this year but in their warm ups against Texas, they were fricking off and shooting shots from the bench, etc.

This team has had focus and motivation issues all year it seems. The lack of getting the team focused is Avery's biggest challenge this year and I think he has done a mediocre job at getting the team focused.

I HOPE that the team is locked in and focused for the tournament.

You'd be surprised. UCLA just had a starter benched due to being late to the team bus, All Pac-12 Freshman team and 2nd leading scorer.

St. Bonnie won the game.

If you could pick one guy that would have the most benefit to the team if he stepped up big in the tourney, who would it be?


Also, who do you expect to step up their game in the tourney?

John Petty. If he is On we can beat Anyone.

I expect Herb to up his game on the offensive end.

John Petty. If he steps up and spreads the floor, we are hard to beat.

Donta taking shots/being aggressive, Sexton driving and Petty hitting the 3s.

Or they lost to a far more talented and rested team
