What really sucks is that we could have won last night's game. Statistically, we were about even in all categories except two: free throws and turnovers.

18 turnovers in one game is horrific. I like Dazon a lot, but this guy is sporadic with the ball and often doesn't pay attention where or who he's passing the ball to. I think for about 4-5 straight possessions, we turned the ball over in the final 4 minutes. We had absolutely no answer for their trap.

Don't even get me started on free throws. Know this- Florida and Alabama both attempted 32 free throws last night. Difference? Florida made 75%, Alabama made 50%. I had to double check to even see if we made 16 FTs. This has been a problem since Avery has been here and I even wonder if it ever gets addressed. He addressed rebounding obviously, because since the Texas game, we've out rebounded 8 straight opponents. What can't any of our fricking guards just go at least 50% from the line?

Starting to hope Ar'Mond also starts over Norris until Norris can fricking shoot. Norris is supposed to be a spot up shooter and be able to get rebounds. He had 2 rebounds last night and went 1-4 from the field. Ar'Mond in his last two games has shot 50% from beyond the arc, shot 4/6 from the charity stripe, and has 22 points. Norris hustles and that's good, but he really doesn't bring anything else to table other than that. He's one dimensional when he dribble and can't get beat a defender.
