We're barely squeaking by mid-majors. They gotta get better quick!

Most games are going to be close with the lack of offense. Defense should keep us in most thought. We are screwed if a team is hot though.

It's all in the basketball thread. Our D is great, our O is shaky and disappears entirely sometimes.

We have the same below average guards we had last season.

The team won't improve much until we upgrade the backcourt.

Like an ineffective gang we got no shooters.

Streaky at best and not good shot selection.

We replaced two first round draft picks with guys who are not yet NBA ready.

That matters.

We were all hoping we would add a great shooter but we didn’t.

True. Certainly not complaining about being undefeated.

Well our offense isn’t very good, but it’s not like St Louis is trash either.

KenPom:

Offensive efficiency ranking: 59
Defensive efficiency ranking: 4

Should tell you all you need to know. We are basically LSU from last year. At this rate we will end up somewhere around 20 wins and an 8/9 seed.

We didn't have a great shooter last year either.
We still don't. You are correct.
That is what we were missing last year, and this year also.
Damn shame, as that is the one missing link from last year and this year being elite Final 4 contenders.

I trust Bruce and gang to make some adjustments to be more efficient scoring.

Maybe do a iso stack when Chance and play a little 2 on 2 with him and Cardwell with Chance driving to the basket.

Set back cut from under the basket back out to the 3 point line for Flanigan/JayWill/Yohan.

I've liked the cutting from the outside in our flex cut but we have to finish on our bunnies.

To much open offense late in the shot clock. Seems if our first chance for an entry pass if it comes back out we get to Wen and then just run or open offense which is just standing in spacing. Bruce's open scheme is great when it's flowing and shots are falling but looks terrible when it isn't

Undefeated and we’re bitching again. Y’all don’t know shite. You aren’t coaches, most of you have never played organized basketball. It’s fluid boys, we are close on offense but settle expectations. Not every game will be a blow out or look good but we have shot at title again. Bruce and the boys are elite again and will probably win the SEC

I would place us at best currently 5th in the SEC. Maybe even 6th.

UK
UT
Bama
Arky

AU or aTm

We have an elite defense and elite depth but a poor offense currently. Problem is our depth is going to start dropping if Yohan and Chance can't figure out defense quickly. You'll basically eliminate them the opportunity of playing under 8 minutes to go in the game because seems we are going to play nail bitters against any team that's close to tournament level.

Just to show how poor our shooting has been Flanigan leads the team in 3pt % at 34.8.


Edit - My bad CMo leads the team at 50% but has only taken 8 3's

Westry had a knee scope.

When will he be full go?

I know he’s played a good bit, but he’s bound to improve with time.
