we just have to win our games.



If they play like they have the last two games we wont need to stress over it. Someone has got to start making shots other than O .

They do. The stat from last night should prove that to the team. When Obasahan is heavily relied on, Bama is 6-7. On the other hand, when he's scored like less than 15 I think it was the statistic, Bama is 7-1

These guys should have plenty of motivation in these last 3 games. Auburn: it's a revenge game and it's auburn. Arkansas: Arkansas isn't a team to take lightly and it's also senior day. Georgia: if we win the previous 2, this game will be for a shot at the NCAA tourney. That's enough motivation right there.

I definitely don't think it's a lack of motivation though they played scared against UK. I just think everyone besides Retin has lost their confidence the past two games, especially Edwards. We've got to have him hit shots.

I think we all saw this coming. Kentucky took out some frustration on Alabama at Rupp Arena tonight to the tune of a 78-53 win. The Tide were coming off a home loss to Mississippi State and hoped to bounce back from that tonight, but they never had a chance. This isn't a fatal loss for Alabama, but they have Auburn and Arkansas at home next, and losing those could be fatal to their tournament hopes.


That's what Palm wrote last night

I'm being pessimistic, but I also read somewhere, that Kansas and Baylor were still a possibility. I hope he sticks because he will shine in this system.

Agree. We can play good basketball when some combination of Arthur, Norris and Hale are making outside shots. It clears things for Retin, forces defenses to jump out, and just helps up score more.

If all 3 are struggling we are a pretty bad team.

Idk what's happened to everyone except Retin. We went from shooting pretty decent to shooting airballs half the time. It's so stressful watching that

Good scouting is whats happening. Teams have realized that you let Retin get his and you stay man up on the rest of the team. We don't have anybody else that can create their own shot. Edwards and Riley both need to catch and shoot. Kessens can't finish at the rim (too weak) and Coleman won't even try to finish at the rim in a half court set.
I still find it strange that we came out of the half last night and went to Jimmy as a priority on the offensive end. He's just so unskilled that I think we have a 30% chance at best of him scoring in a 1 on 1 in the post.

You also forgot that CAJ's son will be eligible to play. He's a PG is he not?


Haha nope, I didn't forget about Averys son. I'm not trying to hate, but I was only listing the positive things we have going on next season.

He's not very good :)

There was a big 2.5 point swing in the line a couple hours ago though, so Nova might roll them again.

Crazy things are happening in the SEC tonight: Auburn-69 Georgia-59 5:22 left in the game. A&M only up 65-63 over Miss State with 1:32 left.

Some people had Georgia as a bubble team, kind of far off the bubble like LSU, but they lost to Auburn so that's good
