Got to go 4-1 down the stretch with one of those wins being over Tennessee. Then grab at least 1 in the SEC Tourney. Outside of that? It's NIT

Not happening. Our defense has left the building. We win with defense

Howland needs to light into the guys for this lackadaisical defense -- I hate watching us give up 14 3's way more than I hated those 55-52 games.

100%

What in the world was Q thinking about to leave a shooter with the ball alone to go to his man with 2 seconds left? However, we put ourselves in the position to lose at the end in the last two games with a total lack of D on the three ball.

One of the dumber posts of the night and i didnt even read the first 14 pages ..

No need to get defensive.

[Coach34]

yep

It was terrible defense pretty much all night, and they got into a groove just like X. That?s why I would have fouled at the end. Everyone knew they were going to make it if they got the shot up.

It may have put us into OT, but we were playing better at the end of the game. The fouls are what let them hang around at the end. I will admit that it would be pretty unconventional though.

Small glimmer of hope is Texas A&M is hanging by a thread with only 7-8 scholarship players left. If and it's a big if we beat both the Aggies and Vols this loss on the road shouldn't be the reason we don't get in. As the announcers said tonight this is Vandy's 4th win in a row at home. They beat Bama and they really should have beat Kentucky too. Committee will know that. We have to win every regular season game left and 1 in the tourney and I think we'll get into the play in game.

You are right. It's a giant if for this team. Kind of like expecting Holloway to break one of those carriers up the middle 50 yards for a T.D. against bama.

We've given up 26 3's the last 2 games. I certainly think Howland deserves some of the blame. Because what we are doing on the perimeter is not working.

Damn right he does. Also, how do we as the team with everything to play for, not match the team?s intensity with nothing to play for? That is on howland just as much as the players

No Leadership... no Timmy Bowers, Darryl Wilson, Shane Power on this team....

I?ve watched the last shot 3 times and still...can not understand...why Q just switched off the shooter for no reason. Made zero sense. 2 gut wrenching loses back to back. Oh well.

Dude, we have beat 1 team on the road. That team has completely fell apart... they are garbage. We are more likely to go 1-4 than 4-1 imo.

What do you mean, "has fallen apart?". This team has seldom played a complete game the entire year. Now they can put up 80 points but give up 81 with 14 made 3's included. I doubt we have a winning record in the remaining games.

The team has completely fallen apart? We won 4 in a row before these last 2 close as can be close loses and we?ve totally fallen apart? Ok. That makes complete sense....

Well this sucks....but....at least we're caring again....

[Cooterpoot]

This team lacks talent, coaching, and some experience. It is what it is-mediocre.

That mediocrity you lament so much is also one of the youngest teams in the country...

We're getting there.

You obviously missed where I said we lack experience.

Talent and coaching??? Lol that?s a dumb statement. It?s maturity more then anything and we saw tonight that we still have a lot of work to do on the maturing part.
