That's a good comment. "Talent" in CBB today varies. Oats has said on multiple occasions that this year's team probably is the best shooting team he's ever had here. However, are we "more talented" than other groups if we can't play defense or rebound? More than ever before, it's about the...

Any road win in the SEC is a good win... so good job to the guys. Defensive intensity and rebounding was better last night - as was ball security. Not sure MSU had any horses down low to challenge us much, but hopefully this game will help Williamson and Sherrill develop more confidence. We...

I’m hoping Bristow will get better. Unlike Williamson, he’s been hurt. Like you say, with TBB, he is who he is… I’m not certain why we needed him when we needed another Sherrill type (bigger, stronger guy). Hoping we have an alpha or two rise up on this team.

I'm not quite ready to go that far because of the potential of this team. Going back to the offseason, my biggest beef was taking so many "potential" guys from the portal. In previous years, our practice was to typically bring in older, proven performers from the portal. Players like Mark...

Rough to watch tonight. If we don't develop some rebounding intensity on the defensive end, it's going to be a mediocre season. It doesn't matter if you outscore teams 2 to 1 from the 3 point line if you give them an additional 20 possessions per game.

Can certainly gripe about officiating (both ways), but we’ve been terrible with ball security and on perimeter defense tonight. Terrible!

Major Applewhite… Bill O’Brien… Pete Golding.

There are “good losses” and “bad losses”. When you’re non-competitive in two games and get beaten in every facet of the game, that’s a “bad loss”. If our losses to UGA and IU were similar to Georgia’s loss to Ole Miss yesterday, then yes… it was a successful season.

Losing two of our last three games to the tune of a combined 66-10 is NOT what I envisioned at the start of the season!

This is the issue. I would say “successful” had we competed in games against UGA and Indiana. However, for whatever reason we simply didn’t show up for those games - as well as FSU. I can understand FSU because it was the first game, but that shouldn’t have happened again. Consistency and...

In games we shoot the lights out, it probably won't matter. But in games when we struggle shooting, it'll be our achilles heel.

Gonzaga game included, this is the most embarrassing stretch of basketball we've played this season. Combination of poor perimeter defense, absolutely poor offensive execution (especially allowing the wrong guys to continually take outside shots), lazy ball security, and (above all) lack of...

Our offensive identify seems to be ball control football utilizing the short to intermediate passing game (not the running game) to produce consistent gains. For that to work, personnel has to match with that philosophy. You better have OL who can stone their guy in pass pro... WR's who can...

Most telling IMO is your middle paragraph. We waste possessions doing that stuff.

Not a whole lot of insight comes from games like this, but some things stood out. One, Trelly is not yet back in "game shape"... hopefully it'll come quick because we can use him against Arizona. Two, Bethea looks to be another shooter/slasher in the mold of Philon and Allen. That third guy...
