I've wondered this as well

To me it's more of a lack of an awareness than being soft. There are times where he'll grab the rebound and go right up with no sense that there's a guy right behind him (that's usually a couple inches taller). And it inevitably gets blocked.

Just take a breath and pump fake.

That said he made a shot over two guys in the second half, and it was a more unlikely two points than a Riley Norris floater in the lane. No clue how he made it.

when our non bigs are close to the basket they chose to come down with the offensive rebound and try to take it back up. What happened to tipping the ball when you are facing the backboard area. I saw a lot of opportunities to do this.

Ingram was 1 of 9 from the field? and 0-6 inside the 3 point arc?
Hate to single out one, since we were pretty crappy across the board shooting 33%

I'm happy we won, I'm just surprised at How well they did in the paint. Especially, since we started with our big lineup.

Tough arse win tonight against a decent ballclub in a game where we didn't play our best.

They went up by 1 and we went on something like a 14-2 run to close down the game. That's having some nuts right there.

Love the way these guys get after it. I don't expect a win there, but we can go in and frustrate Arkansas. They are mentally weak and teetering (as usual). Win that game and we're 100% alive for everything.

If we could find a way to beat Auburn and somehow split the road games with Arkansas and South Carolina..........

A Saturday afternoon CBS game against Kentucky at 15-8 (8-3) and probably somewhere around 50-60 in the RPI?

My gosh - give me that.

Very possible. It's in their hands. Up to the team what they want out of this season

Great win. Didn't rebound well, but we shot FTs like I've never seen before. We needed that win. Hopefully we can take the next two. That will set us up nicely down the stretch.

So far in conference we've won two games then lost one. If that trend continues, we'd go

Feb. 1 @ Arkansas L
Feb. 4 Auburn W
Feb. 7 @ South Carolina W
Feb. 11 Kentucky L
Feb. 15 @ Missouri W
Feb. 18 LSU W
Feb. 23 Georgia L
Feb. 25 @ Texas A&M W
Mar. 1 Ole Miss W
Mar. 4 @ Tennessee L

That doesn't seem unrealistic to me. We'd finish 19-11 (12-6)

All the hate I've given Norris, and he pulls off 5 straight games with double digits

Keep Kingsley in check and don't let Hannahs have open looks from 3 and we've got a good shot I'd say.
