LOL, the team’s psyche will be fine in about a week. Their jump shots will still need work.

Pretty good season. Enjoyed the highs. Looking forward to see some of these guys develope. Better seeding and we could made it a little bit further.

I am disappointed, a bit, that we have so many starters on the bench with so many minutes left.

Glad that Schaeffer came in but felt like some of the starters should have the accountability to finish what they start. It's the last game of the season, I personally wouldn't wanted to finish like that and would have still wanted to compete.

That was impressive.

We didn't play well and Nova is elite. Kept playing hard though.

Huge off-season to improve and get better

Now that is officially the offseason. Avery needs to find a better offense to run. We will not get anywhere with the high ball screen every single time down the floor

I think we've gotta land a grad transfer who can contribute. I think it'll take more than just the guys returning to have a solid year and improve on being a 9 seed. I don't want it to get stagnant like it did for Grant after one appearance.

Well for the participants in the Brick Laying Championships

Bryce Brown clinches it with 7 missed 3FG in game 1 vs 6 missed 3FG for Petty in Games 1 & 2

A grad transfer who can reliably hit spot up 3s or a great rebounder like Bola would help us immensely next season.

Story of the season was Schaffer's 3 and everybody on the bench sulking while Sexton was up willing the shot to go in. Gonna miss him.

Disappointing half of basketball to close out the season, but a better effort might not have mattered with how Villanova was shooting. Thought our defense was adequate, but our offense was MIA. Solid first half.

Yea, we badly need a Kassius Robertson

Those don't grow on trees though.

However, we kind of already have one in Mack.

Mack can shoot, but unless Petty figures out how to hit his shot consistently we still won't be a good shooting team. Especially considering how many minutes Ingram and Key are still likely to receive next season.

Overall expectations were met imo.Highs n lows were kinda fun i guess.

Hopefully im wrong about Avery and.... we come out next year older with a good offense and ball movement leadership can hit ft's and open shots.I dont think thats asking for too much lol.

Roll tide !

These 4 (Hall, Ingram, Jones, Petty) had a combined 11 points, 13 rebs, 4 Ast, 7 TOs.

Yikes.

Nova is gonna be fricked if those threes stop falling. They are the definition of live and die by the three.

We were way out matched. We're just way too inconsistent. I hope this improves next year. Given that most players should be returning, no excuses.

Yea next year is a big year. We'll have program players without a lottery kid and some experience.

Big year in figuring out whether we are a consistent tournament team or not.

Oh well, hope for the best.

In the SEC this year, Frank Booker, 3Gor, Kassius and James Daniel all were grad transfers who hit 40 3FG + shot 37%+


There are plenty of great 3FG shooters in grad transfer market
