Just can't score
I just don't understand why we've gotten so much worse. We can't even catch now
And we can't lay it up successfully if we doQuote:

Yep. In case you guys haven't noticed, I watch all basketball, baseball, and football games. This basketball team is really making it hard though... I just don't like this team.Quote:

5-min scoring drought...
We are really, really talented.Quote:

This is a group of individuals who have all been the best player on their AAU or High School teams. None of them know anything about playing team BB or being a role player. Some will leave after this year as most are sure that they are better than they really are. The ones that stay will be a year older, but not a year better. Maybe Nick, Brooks, and Ado will help but their addition will help keep us one of the youngest again. Doesn't matter who this bunch plays, they look the same every game.
Watching this makes you feel bad all over. I'm not sure if I'm gonna watch the rest of the schedule.
Worst coaching job by Ben Howland in his career and I'll stick by that statement.
Eli should play way more. Stapleton thinks he's Kobe. Our big men can't catch, defend, or not travel.
My problem now with Howland is that goals for this year are done. Tell them to learn to play defense or their butts will be glued to the bench. We play just atrocious defense half of the time.
Around the KY game I had some hope for this team. We were playing better: moving the ball well on offense and giving more effort on defense. Since that game we have regressed tremendously and that's incredibly disappointing
Afraid the amt of posts and posters on this threat show how few of us can stand to watch. As Motley Crue sang, "It's the Same Ole, Same Ole Situation", every game with these guys. All of them now have a year under their belt and they look and play worse.
They have regressed to this point. When they were 3-1 they looked like the talent that Howland brought in. Ready got hurt that jump started this losing streak and it kind of snowballed from there.Quote:

No shit but Howland doesn't teach zone. He is stubborn that way. Heck, if we switched to zone, we probably don't foul as much either.Quote:

First possession out of half and we can't get a shot off. I really don't like this team
I think at this stage there is no defending Howland or this team at this point. We are what we are this year. A very talented but shitty team that doesn't play with effort 100% of the time. That type of team causes fan apathy and is why we are where we are.
They are really just going thru the motions today. No effort from a single one of these guys. They have quit.
And just for the record. Holman is not a five.
What I want to know is if we are playing man to man how the hell are there so many wide open three point shots out of it?
He sure thinks he a three pt shooter though.
Yeah. This is why I think LSU beats us. They don't even look like they give a shit anymore.Quote:

We tried that experiment for the first part of this year with Holman at the five. It didn't work then and it doesn't work now.Quote:

Whoever said we were better than Missouri the other night was mistaken... they're playing much better than us and will prove it first round of sec tourney
I better not see Greg Ellis asking people to get to the hump to support this team. They deserve to play in front of an empty hump.
If he finishes 14-17 this year, I hope his strategy pays off of getting Datcher instead of a seasoned big man that would have helped this year. We were in the running with several and struck out. This team as he recruited for this year is maddening.Quote:

However, our team found ways to lose both those games against teams playing like absolute shit.
Vandy has 8 scholarship players and they're doubling us up. This is unacceptable and I don't give a damn what howland won in the past. Hell Rick ray has his team 1st place in their division.
Nice 31 point beatdown. Great job Howland.
Goodness, people.Quote:
