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.

If they called that I would have laughed.

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.

If we make our wide open dunks the last 2 games or don’t get technicals, you would be singing a different tune.

While you are right, I would still be very concerned with our defense. We are giving up WAY too many uncontested 3s. We got outrebounded by VANDY by 9. We are not playing well. I am concerned with how we are playing... mizzou blew a huge late lead and we got a total fluke run of X 3s to give us a shot tonight. Those 2 facts disguise somewhat that we have been pretty bad the last 2 games

We gave up 81 points tonight of which 42 were on made three's and we lost by one. We just don't get it on D anymore.

And the 2 games prior Bama 63 and Uga 57.

Mizzu had some of the same open shots against AM as they did against us and they weren’t making them .
Yes we didn’t defend well the last 2 games but mother **** people sometimes teams and players knock down shots

Shit, it literally comes down to two piss poor officiating calls. The phantom offensive foul on Peters to lose the Missouri game and the phantom foul on Stapleton that gave Vandy two more foul shots. I’ve looked at that play literally dozens of times and can not for the life of me find a foul. Q had got the rebound and we were up by 2. I like our chances there. So refs on just two calls decided two games.right there.

The game started going downhill when Holman missed the dunk in the first half.

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....

The team we beat on the road was South Carolina, and yes, they have fallen apart
