CEM shredded his team in the post game. Basically said they're not listening and there isn't an understanding of assignments on either side of the ball. Called out their effort. Didn't sound optimistic

Him and Jaylin Williams are the culture guys this team lacks. I hope Menfield can get there

He got angry at the media especially when they mentioned that this was the worst loss in BWA history.

I don’t think he was angry at the media, he hates losing and just came off the worst loss in BWA history. That was personal for him.

He was more pissed about how bad the team sucked today and the medias question like it was because of one or two things, he corrected them it was everything.

He was visually embarrassed learning it was the worst lost in BWA not just in his tenure but in program history.

Someone needs to make a hunter crying Jordan meme, it will be of plenty of use the next calander year, he made the classic AD mistake of expecting the basketball program to divert attention away from the failures of the football program.

Underrated hog. Miss guys like him that would dive on the floor and fight for loose balls. That’s the biggest thing I see missing from this team. Urgency and competitive spirit. Muss has had teams play some stinky stretches of basketball but they usually at least went down swinging.

I know it’s trite but we got punked on our home floor today. That’s NOT ok in a healthy program. It wasn’t Brandon Miller raining threes and just outclassing us. It was a good old fashioned bitch slapping in front of a packed BWA.

Menfield took questions in the presser... I wonder why muss threw him to the wolves. He was the best player today imho...

He too mentioned that we got "punked"! Dang

He was the only positive in the entire game. Probably knew he could handle a tough questions cause he came to play. If Muss really wanted to punish, he should have put Devo up there. 2 Points, 2 TO's and 3 fouls.

Has anyone mentioned that we suck recently?

I’m going 7-11 in conference.

They need to hire Kamani to teach these dudes how to rebound and fight for shots.

I saw today that when a shot was taken our guys were turning around and running off instead of trying to be in position. Weak as crap.

Wish we had a justin smith type of player. 10 points and 14 boards per night type of player.

Suck is generous.

Worst home loss at BWA in the history of the program on a Saturday with a massive selllout crowd. And we’ve had some TERRIBLE teams in the last 20 years.

Is that registering with everyone?

If this continues, it will definitely go down as the most despised team in my lifetime. At least Heath and Pelphreys bad teams had zero talent and worse coaching. This is just a bunch of effortless shite heads.

If the team continues to suck this bad and players like pinion, Fall and blocker don’t start getting more of a shot, I’m really going to have had it with Muss and his petulant bullshite.

Also didn’t watch, bet $50 on Auburn and played golf instead because I had a feeling.

I can understand having a bad shooting night. What I cant understand was the lack of effort.

That was the most embarrassing half of basketball I've ever seen at Bud Walton. Hopefully there is some arse chewing going on. Completely unacceptable.

Surely he will make it abundantly clear that sort of effort will end your basketball career whether it's in college or pros.

This crybaby diva shite can ruin a season. Hopefully these guys get their shite together or this season is a waste.

I still stand by what I said earlier. This team has enough talent to win each game they play.

Obviously their attitudes moving forward will dictate how this plays out.

As far as the coaching staff goes, they need to simplify things for some of our players on offense if they can't grasp some of the concepts they are trying to implement.

Tell the players you either give max effort when given opportunities, or stay on the bench.

They didn’t look much better when they did get in though. KD Johnson nearly broke Pinion’s ankles and made him look silly on defense but then missed a dunk.

I’d rather a kid that works hard and cares get his ankles broken than the same turd from wherever that doesn’t or Devo, the 4th year senior that still shows up late.

And regardless I’m not going to judge a kid that never gets to play. Impossible to get a feel for his place on the team or even his own ability with what Muss gives him.

Hes shown in multiple instances when given minutes he can have an impact. (Mizzou and Ole Miss last year)

Devos stat line from yesterday was just absurd. 0-4, 3 fouls, 2 TOs and 2 pts. LOL.

The offensive concepts are already simple, you can't dumb it down much more than it already is.

The problem is on the defensive end and comes down to a lack of effort. If no one can guard the man of front of them, the. It's time to switch it up to a match up zone or a 2-3 or 1-3-1, it doesn't get any simpler than that on that end of the court. It still requires effort however.

This roster is full of guys who quit when it isn't easy. Soft is the only way to describe them.

Baby shite soft. Brazile, Mitchell and Graham play like elephants that have seen a mouse.

Think Muss blew it bringing 2 of the above back and the way it’s looking, Devo.

Can’t sit well with the team when he shows up late, still plays 25 minutes and puts up such a god awful stat line.

Pretty obvious the locker room is garbage.

I'll give the unpopular opinion that we'll be okay still...

We lost just about as bad to Alabama at home in January last year.

I've seen this team beat pretty good Duke and Purdue teams, both of which have dominant big men.

Now the really unpopular opinion... the answer isn't going to come from playing Baye Fall, Blocker, or Pinion. Maybe more Blocker than Ellis, I could see that. But I think we have to ride with Menifield, Mark, Battle, Brazile (although I never want another 6'10 wing on the roster again), and Lawson.
