I know Brandon Vincent was a starter but he knew his role. Stapleton could/should be our Brandon Vincent.
    He needs to watch old tapes of Vincent. Not that x would think he could learn anyrpthing from him. Vincent was 3 times the player.

    Most sec teams will punish you from 3 if you consistently give them open looks. I could have hit 5 of those 27 (maybe not haha)

    I have a question...
    Why is Howland so stubborn that he would not change defenses. Man to man was not working tonight. Why not a 3-2 zone and defend the perimeter. Why not some full court pressure against a team that can’t handle pressure. Why not try something else. I just don’t get it.

    Not that it matters to a lot of you but LaChance walked before hitting the 3.

    How do you forget how to play defense overnight? It’s like we can’t do 2 things good at the same time. When our defense is solid, we can’t hit the broadside of a barn. When we shoot well, we can’t defend worth a crap. Just clueless, low iq, dumb, selfish basketball, and I’ve had enough of it!

    Those numbers are misleading especially considering what they do at Memorial. They are horrid on the road and actually really good at home. This is their fourth win in a row at home including a win over TCU. By record they are one of the worst teams in the conference but at home they are a tough out.

    I think we go 3-2 and get to 9-9 in the conference. That will put us at 21-10 and should put us middle of the pack. No way in hell do they go 1-4 Msstate7. That is a dumb as hell prediction even for you.

    He shuffled his feet, the announcer initially said he/she said he did, but did not mention it again.

    I really wish Q would step up and be a vocal leader. And as good as Stapleton played in the last 10 minutes, his terrible attitude might have been more impactful on the final score.

    If you quote me, quote me right. I said 1-4 is more likely than 4-1

    Vandy has had the most mysterious home court advantage in the history of college hoops. I want an investigation.

    We are most likely to go 3-2 down the stretch though.

    You obviously missed where I said we lack experience.

    We?re short on talent too. No bench. Q, Holman, and Peters have played enough they aren?t young.

    We will blow out Ole Miss and South Carolina, that’s 2. We could easily win of the following: A&M, LSU, or Tennessee.

    Please stop with the we lack talent bullshit. It gets old. Our struggles have nothing to do with talent. It has to do with leadership and maturity. We start five four stars and have two four stars that come off the bench and Stapleton and Datcher are both three stars. We are actually in the top half of the conference in talent.
