Defense definitely needs to step up big time in the second half

To be fair, they've hit some very contested shots, but in general I agree that our defense has to be much better than it has been this year. Particularly defending the 3-pt line.

Our team is not very athletic. It was plain to see I. The first few games. We have two guys who aren’t starting sec caliber guards in our starting five.

I got the piece of shite app working just in time to see OSU go on a run before the half.

Rylan's performances to date this year has been incredibly disappointing.

There’s not much adjusting for Oats when it comes to defense. It’s all about personnel. Either we have the dudes and a rim protector or we don’t.

You can’t win in this system if you don’t have players that can defend 1on1.

It’s still early. It’s basketball. Things can change.

Just watching the game and observing. Don't see anyone saying we're gonna lose 20 games or anything.

We got a good team but we have some who over do it.

Sears overdo it a lot. If he just slow down and let the game come to him...he'll score thirty.

Lol. If you consider Griffen a guard, sure. Whoever your 2nd guard is, he's pretty close to a lock for an All-SEC team...

Rylen is who he is. I don’t think he will ever be a scorer. Memphis has the two players we needed to be a great team on their roster. We only have two guys who can create and that’s a problem.

Sure wish Bediako would have given us one more year. He would have been dominant this year. He was really coming on.

We look like a middle of the road sec team so far.

Just wanna say so far we look a lot more like the 135th defense than the 27th defense

Not a good recipe in college ball to be bad as bad as we are at defending guards

To be fair, that’s what we were projected as. I think some of you need to slow down. This is still a good team. And I think we come back and win this game tonight. But we also aren’t last year’s team, not by a long shot.

Yeah, that decision really screwed us. Our weak spot is 100% the 5 spot.

I hope we're at least looking into Sherrell's ability to reclassify and joining us next semester like Cosby did. Unlike Cosby, we could REALLY use him. We need a legitimate rim protector.
