    We're 12-4 (3-1) with our 2nd best player having played 6 games & our best bench scorer not being healthy all year. Yes we've had 1 really frustrating loss (OM) & 1 game where we gave away a chance at big win (Colorado St). People want to act like we've been bad or under achieved all year are just incorrect.

    I agree, we beat a good team last night.

    Our hoops fan base IQ is very low.

    1 nitpick, I think Brooks is better than Tolu. Tolu isn't a very good defender.

    In the P&R no doubt Garrison is a better defender. Around the rim give me Tolu. Bigger Centers would feast on Garrison in this league. Brooks from OM just dominated Bc he was just so much bigger. I think they actually compliment each other well on both ends. I do need Garrison to get his stroke from 3 back.

    It?s because most fans don?t understand the analytics and metrics of basketball and how that effects your seeding. Most fans see 4 stars and assume that because we have 4 stars we should win every game. They dont realize that in college basketball the home team wins 72% of the time. So when we lose at Ole Miss the world melts but in reality its just hard to win on the road especially in conference. They also don?t realize that losing on the road doesn?t hurt you one bit in seeding which is all that matters.

    Florida isn't a good rebounding or 3-pt shooting team. On the road, but seems like a decent matchup for us

    I'm curious to see how we handle their big man. He ain't as good as guy at Aub but will be interesting.

    So you're bragging about having such little concentration that you can't read a couple paragraphs? You can't say you lost interest because you responded anyways and that took interest on your part.... It's a dumb brag and a bad putdown. Poor execution.

    What redundancy lmao. I think you might actually have some cognitive misfires you should get checked out by a doctor. Or are you of the opinion that therapy is for the weak?

    Looking back the OM game may be an outlier. If we continue to ply well with Tolu back, maybe that was the main reason for the head scratchers when he was out. We looked really bad at times. We should have the talent to compete with a key guy out. Can one person really make that much of a difference, mainly in the effort category? The last two games look that way. Hopefully it continues.

    I initially thought the same thing until seeing Brooks disappear alot this season. He did have a good game against Bama though. If he can finish the season playing anywhere close to how he played his Junior year at UNC we will be a tough out with those two in the paint.

    Definitely need to go 2-2 but 3-1 would be amazing and would set us up to have a little cushion on the bubble. 3 prime Q1 opportunities. Play like we did yesterday and there?s no reason we can?t win all 4. Just have to punch back when the other team makes their run.
    Need to win OM and TT

    Man, I have no idea. We got a Q1 and Q2 win Saturday with ark moving up. Nevertheless, it's in our hands now... if we keep winning, we'll make it
