I think the scouting report is out on us, we can’t shoot consistently. There is no Bruce Brown on this team. We made it to #1 and expectations got a little ahead of themselves. We are a really good basketball team that is better than most expected, but we aren’t great. We are in the mix with KY, Tenn, and Ark. which is pretty darn good. Get hot in tournament and you never know, but not a sure bet final four team

Yep, and even more troubling is they can sag off our guards and clog the lane which eliminates like 60% of Kessler's opportunities on the lobs and drive and dish. The only guy who can get in consistently is KD but he's so out of control half the time he can't find the pass or get the shot up.

Yeah the lobs haven’t been there at all. We don’t need WG and KD and Flan/Cambridge to be flamethrowers out there but they’ve gotta be north of 30% and they haven’t been

Offense was way more free flowing when Zep was looking for his shot against Ole Miss. We have a problem with Wendell trying to do too much scoring and Zep not doing enough.

Our guards have been getting heat, and rightfully so, but what about the bench? We have gotten nothing offensively from Williams, Cambridge, or Cardwell. All have regressed along with the guards.

If KD would just pass the ball we'd improve greatly. If my memory is correct there were other guys standing there waiting for easy buckets. I heard one of the announcers call him selfish again. I think this is something correctable if Bruce will get after it.

100% if we can hit some shots from 3 with some level of consistency it opens everything up and teams have to respect it. Another good thing we have going for us is that it’s not uncommon for teams to struggle shooting early in tourney play, especially when you get in a big arena and depth perception becomes totally different. Walker should be big early on while guys adjust.

I was hopeful that would be a wake up call for him. He was a solid scorer at CoC.

I’m optimistic about our postseason chances because this team has several absolute dogs. Just hopeful Bruce can channel it into controlled competitive chaos and smart shot selection

Texas Tech loses on the road to TCU. So Tech, Auburn, UK, and Purdue have all lost on the road today. Arizona and Kansas still to go

The most reasonable posters are not sad about the loss. More sad that some players appear that they can’t be counted on. We have possibly already peaked.

Scouting reports are going to be made in the tournament for Jabari, Kessler, and KD and someone else will have to grind out of a stalemated game. In all of our losses we needed that extra and didn’t get it.

And stop bashing Randy. The mofo has already bought tickets to the final four.

Pearl said the same thing. The bench did nothing. Greene got 5 but shot terribly.

He said they need more from others named Kessler Jabari or KD.

If Colorado could pull this upset against Arizona it has to help Auburn. It'd mean 6 Top 10 teams have loss today with Gonzaga still to play against a quality team on the road.

Auburns loss to Tennessee would not be the worst loss of all those. Probably even the 'best' loss.

Kentucky, Auburn, Arky, and UT are 64-1 at home this year. None of the 4 have beaten the other at their place
