UGA is certainly not out of this by any stretch. Hopefully it makes them tougher mentally and they adjust. Again, if Cain can get his mojo back and we learn how to rebound again, we’ll be in position for postseason play.

The blue Cain fall off has been crazy. Literally he started his first 10 games as a fringe prospect and running around throwing dunks down.

I’m not expecting anything, that’s my point. Just can’t understand why others can’t see this team is trash and has been from the beginning of the season. Everyone gets worked up when they are beating all the directional tech schools thinking we are a legit tournament team. Don’t know why ya’ll fall for it ever single season. Watching UGA basketball is like Groundhog Day.

Team isn’t trash. They just aren’t as good as some thought they were. A lot of holes and inconsistencies. Looking at the schedule, it will be tough to break even at 4-4. Could easily be 2-6. I don’t know if 18 wins gets a high seed or not.

so you don't expect anything, yet lose your shite every time we lose. Something doesn't add up. Do you know what the phrase "fools gold" even means? If you were expecting nothing, you wouldn't be such a turd every time we lose.

an’t understand why others can’t see this team is trash


what exactly is yoru definition of trash? We've been ranked more to this point in the seaosn than almost any other UGA team the last 20 years. Last year we made the tournament and were 14-6 after 20 games, this year we're 2 games better. Maybe you shouldn't be so hyperbolic.

quote:

has been from the beginning of the season.


If you TRULY think that then you're kind of an idiot. At one point we were 16-3 and in 2nd place in the SEC so I would strongly disagree that we've been "trash since the beginning of the season". We've simply hit a skid, which most teams do.

quote:

thinking we are a legit tournament team.


what do you consider a non-legit tournament team? If you make the tournament, you're kinda by definition a legit tournament team. As of this minute we are still on track to make the tournament.

quote:

Who is falling for what? The ones that have followed the program for years don't expect shite. If you haven't noticed, these past few teams are a bit different than the "usual".

so why do you watch?

if we only win 2 more games all year I don't see how we make it at all. I THINK we will do more than that though. You ahve to think LSU and MSU are wins, despite both being on the road. If we lose those then we have no one to blame if we don't make it in. That's 18. I'll go ahead and chalk up UF, @UK, @VU as losses along with today.

So between @OU, Texas, SC, Bama we'd like to win a couple of those. @OU and SC at home are definitely winnable. That'd put us at 20 wins and in good shape. Get one of texas or bama both at home and we're cruising.

Jesus…we may not even make it to half. It’s time to blue cains arse on the bench. Shoot under 7% from three in conference play. He’s mathematically impossibly bad at this point.

It is hard to watch how bad our players are at shooting. I don’t see how they made it to a P4 level scholarship. Blue Cain looks like a 7th grader. Not even close to going in. How did this happen? Were they great in HS at shooting and just regressed? I see these other teams just draining 3s on us and wonder why there is such a stark difference. We go stretches where it legit looks like misses of middle school girls.

This is bad. like bad bad. Like rotate the line up. Do something. They are skull fricking you at home coach

You can’t win a game in the first half but you can lose it and your getting booed 5 minutes in

Between the 5 of them, our starters have scored 2 points in the first 8 minutes of the game. On pace to maybe or maybe not hit double digits.

Mike white is not an Xs and Os guy. We need someone else drawing our plays and let him recruit.

Haven’t seen defense this bad since the Crean era. Not sure why we can’t just calm TF down on defense and play zone. It’s hard to watch. Offensively, Smurf tries to do too much sometimes. Pass the fricking ball to open shooters. Keep shooting. Keep running. We might be ok if we come out swinging in the 2nd half. If A&M goes up 14 or more immediately, we’re toast.

Can’t make layups. Cant make put backs. Cant block out. Cant crash the boards. We just look like we have little to no body control. These are P4 players that play like out of control bulls in a china shop.

This is doable but we really struggle at smart possessions to capitalize on when you are shaving away or building a lead. We just don’t have any go to, safe, get a bucket offense. We need opportunity or a nice jump shot. I fear we are going to seesaw in the 5-12 point differential window the rest of the way unless we figure out how to get consecutive baskets.

Nice little run to make this a one possession game again. Dawgs doing a much better job on the boards today.

We just can’t get an offensive rebound! And then Cain misses a layup. And they drain another 3.
