If you lose this game -- not much happens. If you win it, you increase your chance of getting in the dance by 50%.....
A win today would make up for the inexcusable losses.

Keep it close and who knows, regardless need to work on getting more consistent. Be nice if we at least get 3-2 in this 5 game stretch
The under-refined talent on this team makes it possible to envision a five-point game going into the last media timeout. This team's psyche makes it close to impossible to see anything other than the tent-folding ceremony from multiple times already this year.
My biggest negative takeaway from this season has been the post-game players' reaction to the A&M game. You hope to see tears fought back and anger and instead you get subdued compliments for Starks' shot. We need some infectious "hate-to-lose" guys (and a true Watford-sized PF) more than any thing else right now. None of these guys hate to lose.
From an intangible standpoint, I'm looking for laser focus on defense after big shots made. We mostly feel entitled to take the next play or two off on on D after a timely, exciting shot. Other than being allowed to spray an Aderoll mist periodically over the defensive court, I'm not sure what else can totally rectify that.
At this point with CAJ, being a 2-3 loss team with the confidence of fans to discuss where (not if) we make the tournament should be even the most patient fan's expectation.
Hoping for the best on Rocky Top.

Anyone else tune in, and then instinctively almost turn it off immediately solely because Beth Mowins is on the call?

Let's try to keep the über-pessimismus out of the game thread. Save your deep thoughts for after the game...
Why? Well, when have we ever?
When someone as blind as I am can see what a charge is.....................I'll stop and go back to watching.

Rick Barnes has been one of the most underrated coaches in the country for two decades. The man not only recruits well, but he develops his talent as well as anyone in the country. Still blows my mind that Texas fired him for Shaka Smart.
