I may be wrong but I don’t see us doing much this year in league play . If we are hot from 3 we are fine but we do not have one guy who can get on the block and get us a bucket when threes are not falling ... it is all 3s and put backs

It’s baffling that Bruner doesn’t play 32+ minutes a game unless he can’t get into shape. He’s a high level passer, adequate rebounder, and immeasurably better than anyone else we can put in the post.


I don't really understand much at all about our lineup constructions or rotations. It's all very "blindfolded monkey throws poop at a dartboard".

I think the generous explanation is he's trying stuff in non-conference play and the rotations will be tightened up starting vs Ole Miss.

The other explanation is we're fricked.

Bruner 30+. No need for Rojas and Reese with regular minutes. Ellis, Primo, and somebody else (Reese, Rojas, Gary, etc.) off the bench get substantial minutes. Maybe 9 guys on certain nights, but rarely 10. It's all fairly simple really.

For supposedly being so in love with analytics and regurgitating kenpom, HD Intelligence, etc., you’d think his lineup and minutes allocations wouldn’t be head scratching so often.

I'd be trying harder to convince myself of this if the stupid lineup decisions were limited to games like tonight and JSU. He does dumb shite like playing Quinerly and Shack together and allowing Reese on the floor against the good teams we play too though.

We don't have anyone with any insider information around these parts?

What did Petty and Rojas do?

Alabama’s John Petty and James Rojas didn’t play Tuesday because of a coach’s decision, Nate Oats said. “I’m going to leave it at that,” he said.

I heard that he told Oats that Hall is better.

I know the official company line. I was hoping the rumor mill turned up what actually happened to create such coach’s decision.

My thoughts - Primo and Ellis need to get 25 minutes each. Ellis does a lot of things well. His shot is smooth and with more minutes I think he only gets more comfortable. He can get in the lane but looks to dish first but also can finish. Primo had some early TO's but I think with more time and maturity he will be a stud. Shack needs to just plant himself at the 3Pt line. He is deadly from there but completely clueless when he goes into the lane. More times than not it's a TO or offensive foul. And if he gets fouled his FT percentage in 3 of the last 4 games has been 50% or lower. We are still the worst fast break team in college basketball. Gary has potential - is at least active. Reese is useless and should get 0 minutes. Agree with Cobra on Releford disagree with Mistaken on Wimp. Loved him as a coach but he is equally bad a color commentating. If this was a normal SEC league (and who knows at this point) this team is bottom third from what I have seen 8 games in.

This deserves its own thread, IMO.

Our women would kill the men in a free throw shooting contest.

SO what is going on? Someone started a cryptic thread on the rant indicating some kind of controversy with Oates.

So for real though, what the frick happened with Petty and Rojas? I've seen the rumors, but given the current climate I really see no way the rest of the team would have been willing to play for Oats last night if there was any truth to them.

Allegedly he's another Gregg Marshall, Petty got fed up with it and tried to Sprewell his arse.

I agree. If they were true 100% none of the other players would have played.


I think Petty was loafing at practice, Oats got on him about it and that led to an argument.
