Winning should be the message

When your team has a habit of pretending they’re at Rucker Park when they go up you probably need to send a humbling message.

Lior guarding the top scorer in the SEC is inexcusable

No argument here. I get it happening once off a switch, but zero reason to allow him to be in the position for it to happen again.

I hated seeing our guys take so many bad 3's when they were cold as ice. Guys choked in the clutch.

It was like 5 or 6 unnecessary gimme points. I imagine Bruce was trying to leave Lior in until the tv timeout but it jump started their counter!

An early Jan loss is probably better than a Mar loss. We will learn from this and adjust and get better.

Lior shouldn’t play unless we are up late. It’s obvious to everyone.

They made their foul shots down the stretch.

We did not have a good first half. Too many empty trips.

Next game.

Hit those two and we actually have a shot on the last possession

That’s the difference in the game. Bruce never seems to be able to find a guard that can consistently hit the 3.

a true big man performance.

He showed toughness and skill.

JWill showed up late too. It is nice to know he can do that in tight games. Wish he hit that FT.


****unless his man was Nelson******

Sure. Against Miss State: Not our rival.

I still don’t mind it if you’re trying to give CBM a breather and you want a shooter on the wing that the defense has to respect, but you’ve got to have a plan to hide him on defense. The worst part is that this was a team you could have pretty easily hid him on. Have him guard the 3 man and if they try and run a screen you just tell everyone we aren’t switching. The only other thing I could think of is if we were afraid of being able to fight through the screen. If you fail or are slow then you’re giving Sears an uncontested 3.

Sucks losing to Bama at any time, but we need a game like this. We could have totally mailed it in at the half but we fought back. No reason we don't beat them double digits at home or anywhere else.

Exactly as advertised….they suck when the three’s aren’t falling. Zero inside game. So, they play street ball.

We let the crowd get in our head. We’ll return the favor when we get them in our house.

I Liked the description of the airplane hanger earlier.

Yup. We didn’t play that tenacious style we’ve played all year the last 4 min of 1st half at all and it cost us the game

The first half turnovers and Aden going 0-7 tonight was hard to watch.

Especially since so many of the turnovers were unforced. Just simple pitch and catch.
