Tolu over playing his hand a bit two trips. Two out of control plays. He needs to get on the low block and let it come to him, not try to dribble in to the post from 18 feet out.

And don't tell me it's because they play defense. They were abused by much better ball handlers who scored around the goal or from deep and out hustled them in both ends of the floor.

Yep, will likely be a midpack SEC team and be OK. Like I said, just glad we got the TN game because this opening 4 game stretch is brutal and we could have ended up being 0-4 quite easily. Also to add, so far I don't think our defense is as consistently good as it was last season. Maybe that's because SEC teams have now had a full season to adjust to Jans.

Put that on me.. 0-2 when a guard doesn?t score 20 hahahaha the ole number wheel got me.
Either don?t argue with my rhetoric just the numbers.
Get it right. It isn't hard.., we've played 3 games and won a huge one

Now if we start 1-3 in conference with yet again average to non existent guard play.. will you succumb to my clear and obvious knowledge of basketball 7?

One thing is for sure, we couldn't win at Lexington if our players lives depended on it.

You really ready to fire him? Jeez
Did not say I was ready to fire him. Just adding him to a long line of coaches who cannot beat Bama in a big game, a little game, or any a game that means something to taking the next step. This team isn't as tough as everybody makes them out to be. They get out rebounded by smaller teams. They cannot make free throws when it matters. They can't make layups or shots 3 feet from the goal when it matters. Usually when State teams lose by a few at home, they lose to that same team by 20+ on their court!
They are not tough. They are soft as baby poop!

You are overly sensitive about the loss.
You're not fired up enough yet to wanna fire Jans again so that's a positive ****

Sweet 16 ... mmm, don't know. Gotta finish at the rim better. Wouldn't mind a guard who plays shutdown D like Frazier or Wilson and can shoot like them too.
I've only watched 2 games all year of any hoops tho. USCe and tonight. I don't need to watch ... they lose every time I do. Having only watched 2 games I haven't seen anywheres near enough hoops to feel comfortable making a prediction, one way or the other.
ETA: Hitting FTs wouldn't hurt either.
