When they play well, they are so good.

I don’t understand how they lost so many games. So much talent.

At times last night, they were sloppy with the ball, but when they are on point- I think they can beat Villanova.

Can they play 40 minutes 6 games in a row?

Hasn’t Auburn lost their last 3/4 game at the end of the season?

15 losses = 15 times agent/REC checks didn't clear.

They kinda remind me of us, can play pretty dang well but can be flat as a pancake at times. I wouldn’t say they give up, they’ve just been prone to have letdowns. Here’s to hoping we both quit that crap for the season.

True.

McLemore broke his leg and we cannot defend rim. We are a different team without him.

How has Kentucky lost 10 games?
I’m impressed with how the Wildcats are playing now.

Just look at their free throw shooting percentage and you'll find answers there.

Not that missing FTs cost them directly many games, it just shows how a team can be unpredictable in shooting.

Free throws amaze me.

These kids can make a contested floater, off balanced, scoop shot with english, but can’t stand 15 feet from the rim and make 75%.

VT was pitiful from the line last night.

Both teams shot hot in first half.

Petty had some horrible games and got benched. Also Sexton is a great guy but he has ties with numerous TO's. There are times he has more TO's then Assists.

Same way Pearl has been stinking up the place at AU the last few years . . . youth.

I think Bama really missed having Riley Norris this year as well.

I did not mean to offend others.

I see a team with talent, size, shooting and can’t reconcile the eye test with 15 losses.

Young team, tough schedule, pretty spotty upperclassmen leadership, a coach that had never dealt with a locker room filled with true freshmen before, streaky shooters.

It's crazy how we won a NCAA Tournament game when we weren't even in the tournament per Randy.

Impressive IMHO

You're correct...and nobody should be offended.
Alabama needs Petty's shot to open up the defense and take pressure off Sexton. Ingram, while he occasionally contributes, has no basketball I.Q. and can really go brain dead on the court. Key is simply worthless...I wish it wasn't so, but it's a fact that he has NO strong suit on the court and is a TOTAL liability. Finally, Jones is a work in progress. HE's got huge upside, but he's a freshman and usually plays like one (he's getting much better with experience). If he develops a mid range shot, he'll be somebody's nightmare....that's about it, in a nutshell.
The good, bad and ugly.

Bama is a young team that hasn't played every game with a sense of urgency; when they play with a sense of urgency they're pretty good.
