re: Tide Hoops | 31-6 (16-2)

Texas A&M having Jimbo in their university commercial after this past football season is one of the most embarrassing things in the whole conference.

You good!! I'm still excited honestly even after the loss because our FRESHMAN have an opportunity to learn from these situations and games.

We have a special group and they just have to keep growing!!

I wish we would have won but it’s silly to be upset about the loss.

And at this point I’m just looking for things that give us insight into things that are relevant during the tourney.

I love watching us playing slightly above average teams and obliterating them but we know the team can do that.

I enjoyed watching the guys having to deal with this type of opponent I’m the desperate situation that Tenn was in coming in.

Yep. When it was evident it was bad JQ early on, he needed to sit on the bench like he did against Auburn. I’d rather lose with Griffen and Burnett getting more minutes than seeing bad JQ be who he is. Now it’s a completely different story when JQ is on but he’s the easiest player to tell when he’s going to play well or not.

Griffin got beat few times also reason he was taken out.

1st team to 40 may win this Arky/A&M game.

I get that but JQ turned it over I want to say 3 times in 4 or 5 possessions in the first half and was still out there. 2 were on inbounds passes and one when he just jumped in the air turned and threw blindly directly to a UT player. I'm just saying if you are going to have a quick hook over bad play, then be consistent.

Every loss we’ve had the same way. We get bullied. That’s our kryptonite. I feel we have to find a way to tough these wins out when we don’t have open threes. Sometimes we become too reliant on them and pass up easy drives for three balls. Especially miller and Griffen tonight.

Coaching. Tonight was not Nate’s best coaching job but I know it has to be hard coaching a group of freshman against a team of veteran floppers. We needed toughness tonight and Oats played the wrong big men. Some games we need Pringle to calm us down and get rebounds. Every time he got in tonight positive things happened but Oats has him on such a tight leash. It’s amazing Clowney can brick threes and get rebounds snatched from him but Oats allows him to stay in.

WE NEED TOUGHNESS!!!!

All of our goals are in front of us let’s regroup and get ready for some revenge on the bulldogs.

Pringle brings it and he needs to play period like I wonder how many offensive rebounds Tennessee got when he was in?

I disagree just a little...

He struggles against decent defenders because he has no RIGHT HAND.
