Bruce doesn’t deserve criticism over his gameday coaching. But his recruiting and offseason decisions can be scrutinized. I just wonder why he didn’t go get another GT besides the high flyer that we missed out on.

I wonder if he’s thinking forward enough to be capable of coaching one and dones to be honest.

I would argue that the team isn't capable of handling success and publicity. Lot of distractions with visits to tnt and bachelor stuff.

This could be true, but I just more to the argument that they just don’t shoot the ball well.

The 3 isn’t our strong suit. I think we are reeling because that skillset left last year.

Lack of shooting all season and it appears this team has just ran out of gas. Not sure if it is mental or physical. The early season win streak trying to keep it going and playing tight at end of games. Then in conf games every game has been a grind. It looks like it’s taken it’s toll on the team

That’s a reasonable take. To add to that, we have already played 30 minutes of OT. Add 10 more and that’s a whole extra game.

It’s mental. We weren’t a great shooting team, but you don’t go 5-43 over a two game stretch no matter how bad you are. That is historically bad shooting. The team just has a mental block right now. I think fatigue can be part of it.

In my amateur opinion, this team just needs a break. Anyone that plays golf knows how this goes. Your game is just off and out of whack. The harder you work at it, the worse it seems to get. Take a little time off from playing and let everything realign itself, and you’re back to your normal self.

I aint mad at that. We have players like Jaylin and Cambridge that need development for the following years when our potential isn’t capped.

Dude took a season and a half break from basketabll and last season was barely a rotational player until the end of the season.

If you think he hasn’t hit a physical wall at this point, then I don’t know what you’re watching. No different than the rookie wall in football. It happens.

Jaylin, Turbo, Stretch... just get them some quality minutes now since our starters are tapped.

Auburn v Tennessee SEC championship game highlights.

Never forget that we can lose by 40 to Tennessee but their fans would trade theirs for ours any day of the week.
