Yep. Going back and watching it all he had to do was dunk it in or put it soft off the glass. Instead he tried to tip it in with one hand.Quote:

It was a talent deficiency and the committee knew it and put State right where the tram belonged. And State proved them right. Well on the Spring Football now.Quote:

Not necessarily. I like how Bama plays with their 5. Bediako is no threat to shoot a 3 but the other 4 are lethal. If we're going to continue to have a big man, which I imagine Jans will continue to utilize then we need to go to that type of offense.Quote:

LOL ... I was so mad at McNair for that dumbass shot that if Tolu hadn't been in foul trouble and I was coach ... I'd probably sat McNair down till the middle of next season sometime.Quote:

To take the next step we need 6-8 that don't suck. That doesn't sound like a huge jump, but right now it's the difference between us and a team like Bama.
Yep not a good stat.Quote:

I said it when it happened - the Tolu foul when he scored inside took 2 pts off board for us. A horrible call in one of many but that one took 2 pts off our side. That one play called correctly or just really a no call and we win.
I really didn't have much of a gripe with officiating except when Davis got called for 2 fouls back-to-back when we had his hand on the ball. Both shoulda been no calls/tie ups
Yes, bad calls and we had to sit Davis with those fouls for a few minutes, he was carrying us on offense plus. To me those were game changing moments, we were ahead and had a chance to extend each time.Quote:

But I like the potential from Murphy and Jones going into next year. Hope we keep them.Quote:

Horton (quit), Reed, McNair (we can replace his threes*), Stevenson (a couple of good games), when substituted together 2 to 3 at a time killed our offense and leads in several games.Quote:
