I never said he sucked. I said he would never be great. And if you go back and look I said we should utilize him in games like this.

Also I'll add that when Bryce is off...he is really off, and this was one of those nights. He was really hurting us in the first half with carelessness and turnovers (3 points tonight).

He needs to quit beating himself up about it and realize he can help in other ways beside scoring.

Meh it’s December. Thankfully basketball isnt football.
They looked like hard boiled arse tonight though.

Not just the first half.

To Bruce's credit, he didn't get a LOT of minutes in the 2nd half, but in those minutes he did get he was just as damaging.

Harper is gonna have his hands full Saturday. Ja Morant is the real deal.

8-1 with the loss being to bammer. They haven’t beat anyone though. Morant is a projected lottery pick.

If we spread the damn ball out and utilize all of our weapons, we'll beat them by 30. Fernee Mac with no points isn't acceptable. Bruce with only 3 isn't acceptable. Chuma needs to/should be in double figures each game.

Hell I’ll just take 30% from three and 8-9 turnovers at this point.

Every team lays a turd every now and then. We'll be fine. Lots of good coaching tape to watch and improve. Probably gonna help us in the long run.

Agree. This isn't football and a lot of fans are approaching our basketball team with the same mentality we had this football season.

The sky isn't falling. We're going to be okay.

Bad shooting night coupled with uncharacteristic turnovers.

We are still a tournament team.

Teams have learned to faceguard Bryce, he then gets frustrated. Should have played Wiley a little more.

This team’s ceiling is still higher than last years. We just have a lot to figure out. But certainly our best 3 players can’t continue to put up stinkers like they did tonight (Okeke, Harper, Brown)

Auburn played as badly as I have seen. Yet, still in it until the bitter end.

I am sure Pearl will have the team prepared in the future.

Wiley should definitely play more. He is great on the glass and blocking shots and his offense will continue to improve. If he becomes more of a scoring presence down low, it will free up the outside and hopefully cut down on the number of contested 3's we jack up.

So why did we not get a shootaround? I never heard the story.

I believe NC State's fall/winter graduation was yesterday and they used the arena for the ceremony.

Do we expect Purifoy to come on and be who we think he is? Haven't seen much from him yet. and yes I know it's only been a couple games

It has been 2 years since he has played a healthy competitive basketball game


Wouldn't be shocking if he was rusty well into SEC play
