So we were beaten by a team which did not

have a full roster. I thought that was the key to our "turnaround"

In the second half, we couldn't buy a free throw and they couldn't miss from 3. You can't win games like that.

Tenn missed ten three pointers for the game. The ones im the second half still count three points.

But back to the point the excuse last year was that we didn't have a full roster.

[I seen it dawg]

We suck. Everybody knows. There aren't any excuses why. Move on.

[thf24]

Well we did beat some shitty teams too when we only had about as many players as they did.

True, I'm pretty sure Ray's first 2 teams could beat this one more than half the time. At least Borchert and Steele (the games he played) could hit a perimeter shot now and then.

Not sure about that- this team does defend pretty well. But they are just ****ing awful offensively

What's depressing is I don't see much improvement next year either. Strugg is a project. Weatherspoon and Tookie are ok, but not enough to make a huge difference.

[Coach007]

To quote the man above who insisted we fire Stans and lead online campaigns for that, "We have some studs coming in next year. Ray just needs time" That was last year, but I'm sure it's been stated again.

[Coach34]

Who said we "had studs coming in"? Damn sure wasn't me. We are getting to see the "studs" Stands left us with though.

Recruiting is is improving and so is the D- offensively? Not so much

[quickstrike2]

Mcneese State, Arkansas State, and USC Upstate is all the matters to me. There are no positive after that, especially in the way the we were handled in those games. I commend the ones that still have hope but I am not sure if that's Dan Mullen stubbornness or Sly Croom incompetence yall are showing.

[Coach007]

Look, Ray could have played Daniels this year and won 6-8 SEC games. We would have been a much better team with Daniels and Ware inside during SEC play. But Ray didnt do that- why?
Because what is best for the long term health of the program- win 3-4 more games this season?

Coach34

In other words, Next year we got a Stud/Player that is going to help us win 6-8 more games coming in.

the word on Daniels and Houston- both impact players

coach34

We have yet to see Daniels, N'Doye, or Houston take the floor yet.

coach34

Rick Ray gets a 4-star commit tonight

coach34



So, yeah, you kinda have been stating that.

[Coach34]

Thanks for listing that- still no mention of "studs"

good job

According to Ken Pom our SOS is 334. But if you want to hang your hat on defending well against that then I guess it's something.

You were defending and propping him up over what was coming in. End of the discussion for me.

[Coach007]

have a full roster. I thought that was the key to our "turnaround"

Btw.. Turns out they only had 9 players. Then one of those was sidelined with an injury and never returned for the game.
