I'm realizing I set my goals too high for this team. I'm adjusting it to just make the tourney and win a game... that means an 8-9-10 seed gives us a decent shot. We need to keep this game at around a 5-7 pt loss

Can't get a rebound when we need it
This team gets out hustled. They suckQuote:

I'm not seeing lack of hustle at all. They played their asses off to get back in this, but they let the hole get too bigQuote:

Foul after a made basket, but this shit is just expanding the lead to kill us
We miss too many FT?s and too many point blank shots. I thought this team was going to be ready for the SEC road games but damn was I wrong. Auburn is gonna blow us out
Losing Saturday to auburn and then on the road at ole miss next week will have this team dead and buried for making the tournament.
Hustle is the whole game. They hustle when they are beat but 50% they get out hustled and outplayed. Not very well coached either. But nice safe morally conscious hire for headcoah ��������Quote:

We closed this game out like a bunch of effin idiots
Most disappointing thing to me is this was supposed to be a real up year for us. Next year we are definitely taking a step back unless we go wild in the portal. We just aren't nearly as good as I thought we would be this year.
I certainly don't know if we can do it again, but we were 1-7 in sec to start last year. February is very favorable for us if we can get our act togetherQuote:

Maybe we can use tolu's money for another guard to go with Hubbard.Quote:

Cam and Shak actually finished +1 each. But Cam only got 26 minutes.
Davis scored as many points as everyone on this board tonight. Bench his ass.
I agree we just aren't very talented. Hubbard has been Jans' best recruit and we got lucky getting him. Jans is going to have to surround Hubbard with someb real weapons but Im not confident in his recruiting.This great defense we are supposed to have is non existent also.. we can't score, other than Hubbard, and can't stop anyone thats a recipe for alot of lossesQuote:

Were down 69-63 with 3:53 left and the ball. We used the entire shot clock and Moore got his layup blocked and State gets the rebound. Uses up another 17 seconds and turns it over. So used nearly 45 seconds and got nothing out of the possession only down 6. It was over after that. At the 36 second mark, State was 1 for their last 8 shots.Quote:

One thing to consider with Davis is assists. He obviously isn't scoring at all for whatever reason, but we had 9 assists tonight and 4 were by Davis. He's the only player that seems to get them
We made a run with Davis, Moore, Hubb, Cam and Tolu on the floor together. I'm fine with that group.Quote:

A good team would KILL to have someone like Matthews on their roster, but we rely on him for more than what he is. Just a terrible off season in terms of evaluating talent and adding the right pieces to get better.
oh well at least baseball is almost here to **** me up some more.
I've wanted to split DJ and cam up for a while, so I agreeQuote:

Hopefully we can get ourselves playing well again soon
Not wanting to overreact but nothing I am seeing right now makes me think we make the tourneyQuote:

Idk, but I do wonder if part of our defense collapse has been tolu. We were defending at a high level pre-tolu, and not so much with him. How much of that is competition level though?Quote:

Our problem is we have no perimeter scoring other than Hubbard, that in itself will things up for Tolu in the paint when he gets double and triple teamed so when he kicks it out our perimeter guys have to make them pay......but they don't, too many missed wide open shots. We lack scoring in a major way and our defense isn't what people hype it up to be.Quote:
