I don't understand why IJ was so important. Lamar was very disappointing to me over these past two games. If he doesn't turn it over at a rapid rate these last two games, we probably win the Alabama game.

I get that. I just don't understand why Peters turns it over so much.

It's his style of play. It's been pretty clear from day 1 that he goes way too fast and pushes it too much at times. Needs to learn to pick his spots better and let the game come to him more. It'll come.

It starts at the top. We ripped ray unmercifully and it was deserved. Howland isn't coaching any better than ray and has legit talent. He's half the man he used to be in my best STP voice

It takes a lot for me to get to this point, but I'm turning it off, I'm checking out of this thread, and I'll just be checking post-game scores for a while. If they are this out of it, there's no reason for me to be into it.

MarketingBully
02-04-2017, 03:52 PM
Howland needs to clean house in the offseason on players that have a shitty attitude and who are a cancer. You can tell some of the players are effecting this shit. He needs to dump them asap.

msstate7
02-04-2017, 03:52 PM
I'd have a lot more respect for howland if he'd bench every starter right now till the half. We aren't winning today and it's time to send a message. If they don't like it, send em packing. We obviously have a huge coaching problem or a terrible collection of players

Cloak
02-04-2017, 03:53 PM
Just comparing the way tennesee runs their offense shows the difference. They're constantly moving and creating space on the baseline. Our offense is basically "catch and shoot".

CadaverDawg
02-04-2017, 03:53 PM
This effort is awful. We don't pressure the ball, yet we cover no passing lanes....we are easily beaten off the dribble, and have no plan on offense. We are going in the wrong direction, and that's concerning.

Maybe we hit a freshman wall? I don't know. Hopefully more talented depth next year will allow us to keep our legs deeper into the year. We look like we have no gas in the tank

These individual players are by no means a "team". Something must be wrong in the locker room. They come out with no fire, no heart, no sense of urgency every game. One pass and someone throws up a three. No desire to play D. This is what you get with with a team of nearly all "AAU" mentality Freshmen with no talented upper classmen to lead. Q is himself a true Soph. They act like thay don't even like each other. You will see about half this class transfer after this "season" if anyone will have them. Howland better get his act together or someone else will be trying to rebuild our joke of a BB program again.

Red Sox Dawg

That call against Carter is what has ruined the college game. The Tennessee player was bumping Carter and the call was against Carter. Used to be a no call unless it was blatant, and the offensive player initiated the contact.

Liverpooldawg
02-04-2017, 04:22 PM
We shot 20% for the half. We are only down 12z. If Peters can come back in we still have a chance. The defense wasn't half bad.

Goldendawg
02-04-2017, 04:24 PM
Marketing Dawg, sorry I'm not an BB expert like you, but what I meant is that many on this young team could have used a red shirt year to learn how to play as a team, if we weren't a team mainly made of Freshmen and have little choice but to play them now.

MarketingBully
02-04-2017, 04:24 PM
So after being down 17-2 we are only down by 12. If we heat up from three and make them shoot perimeter shots, we can get back in this. But will our players give effort in the second half? Who the heck knows.

Carter is the only one I see that could use a redshirt year to get muscle on his 160 lb frame. The others (sans EJ Datcher) would be playing major minutes other places. Heck even Carter could have named any place he wanted to go. We are just an extremely young team and when you took IJ Glass out of the equation we lack leadership. Shit, Q has been the biggest disappointment here IMO because he hasn't led one bit.

Guys that are in the Top 150 prospects in BB are not looking to redshirt. About the only FR that probably could have been redshirted is Carter and that is only because he is so physically frail.

I can see three guys that won't start next year based on who we have coming in (Peters, Holman, and Herard). We will replace them with aggressive players like Nick, Brooks, and Ado. That is what this team needs bangers and all we have are softies.

It sucks watching what's happening right now, but we need to remember that we're right on Howland's career curve. Maybe part of his thing is breaking the players down to where they want to work. We hired Howland because of his proven process. Another year like this one next year, and we can start thinking the way you're posting.

Rick Ray's 3 teams were 255, 205, and 160 in KenPom ratings.

Ben Howland took over last year and we were 78. Then after losing all those seniors and replacing them with new players, we've only fallen to 103. I know we look bad today, but all the "Howlandz is worse than Ray!!!!1" meltdowns simply aren't backed up by statistics.

We're young. Everyone capable of rational thought knew we were going to have ups and downs. This current down is worse than everyone was expecting, but we're missing our only upperclassman and our best player is in a slump. If we could figure out how to avoid the slow starts we would really be ok.

Theres defiantly things we could be doing a lot better. Specifically our piss poor free throw shooting. But we'll be fine man

Some years ago, we came back from 21-0 down to Kentucky and won on a Mario Austin 3-pointer, I think in OT. It was Mario's first 3 in his college career as I recall.

Coach Howland is a great coach. We need to figure out why we start out so slow. Maybe we can figure out how we played our first two road games at LSU and at Arkansas. We didn't start out slow in those games. We should build off of this and beat Auburn then at home against a good South Carolina team.

I'm going to have to stop watching the games. I've missed every win but 3 and watched every loss. I turned this one off shortly after the beginning of the half when we went back down by 15 or so. I'm a jinx I guess.

I can't either, I had totally given up. We shot 31% from the field and less than 50% from the free throw line and still somehow won. We start off every game like crap but we certainly turned it on late in the 2nd half. Congrats Dogs!

This needs to be in big letters at the top of every game thread. It's hard to remember during a game. We have one upperclassman and he's injured right now, on top of that Q is in the worst funk of his career.

Well that didn't last long haha. I forced myself to watch the 2nd half, and wow. Biggest win in YEARS. Ready out, Peters and Q shoot 4-26, we miss 16 FTs...and win it after being 19 down.

How about Mario Kegler's intensity down the stretch? He, Stapleton, and Herard won that game for us, and Q came up big when we needed it. Wow. Wow wow wow. PLEASE let this spur us forward.

Oh yeah, I understand. The first half we just looked so blah but I think it had a lot to do with no leaders emerging to pick up the team. Stapleton, Kegler, and Herard deserve all the credit in the world because they looked like they were always trying out there. Kegler was the only starter IMO that played a great game the whole game through. We need leaders to emerge and we need to get confidence that even if Q has a bad game we can still win. We proved it today. This is the first win where Q and Peters didn't lead us in points. Big step forward IMO.

So is Q still learning how to play through the pain of his injury? There is a night and day difference between him before and after the injury.

MarketingBully

Kegler is an NBA player once he starts playing consistently. Peters is an NBA player once he starts playing consistently at the point. Nick will be an NBA player. Herard and Ado could possibly work their way into an NBA roster in a few years. This team and next year's team are loaded with talent albeit extremely young talent.

Oh yeah me included. I just wish we would play with effort for forty minutes. Hopefully a win like this will build confidence and we can finish strong down the stretch. I want us to hit 9-9 in the conference. If we can get to that point, everything else is golden.

This reminded me of that Vandy game last year in which we were down by 17. I am sure that thread is hilarious as well with stupid comments by me to boot. Yes, I was wrong. We just need to play with effort for 40 minutes and let chips fall where they may. We will get better. As a poster said earlier, we are a young team and consistency will come with age.
