This team has too many flaws. Teams with big post players kill us.

Hoping we can win at least one game in the NCAA’s , looks doubtful but hope springs eternal.
Wrightsell disappointed me today, was expecting great things from him.

Ok, my honest thoughts are that the guard injuries to close out the year have our guys exhausted. Legs are just as important as eye discipline and form when it comes to shooting 3s. Our percentages have tanked because of the exhaustion. I told my dad pregame that I actually kinda wanted to lose tonight. We need the extra days of rest if we want any shot to make a tournament run. Get our legs and shot back.

We will see. But getting our legs and offensive firepower back is our only hope. This team just cannot defend. They don't communicate, they don't show consistent effort, and they just don't seem to understand defense. Its also the severe lack of high-end athletes. We don't have any hyper athletic dudes outside of Mo-D, and he can't shoot worth a lick.

I still like this team, but we are tired.

In the last 5 minutes of the first half, Florida went on a 21-2 run. We let a 10-0 run go before calling a TO. And we allowed the remaining 11-2 run to take place without calling another one.

Love Nate. We won the day by getting him locked up again. And you won't find me complain about anything else about him (okay maybe some occasional in-bounds problems). But for the love of God can we please be a little better with our timeout usage during runs? I get that he doesn't like how TOs slow down possessions, but letting these runs go have put us in some huge holes that completely change the outlook of these games.

Absolutely brutal luck in the draw. I would have rather played anyone else (UK, AU and UT included), as they have the perfect combination to have this roster in Hell, but we have to be better at the things we can control.

Golden has also given the blueprint to disrupt our offense in both of the last games. Play 2 bigs (which always leaves you with rim protection), switch everything, and don't leave perimeter players to help on drives. Leaves dump off passes wide open, but our bigs either can't catch the hot passes or don't gather and go up quick enough for it to matter.
