I don't know if he was there or not, but I've been told he is coming back next year as is Armond. It sort of surprised me in both cases.Yeah, we are kinda in a weird position with no Seniors, but especially no Seniors playing an important role. Is Riley traveling with the team on the road?
I watched the game last night and it was pretty obvious we were not interested in being there from the opening tip. I thought our fundamentals were just plain bad. The game is rebounding, shooting and defending, and we did none of those well last night playing a team that was smaller slower and clearly less talented than we are right now. I understand some nights you just lose to a better team, but this was not one of them. Even with the poor officiating, there was no reason we could not have beaten Ole Sis. I thought we'd come out and play hard the whole 2nd half, but we didn't. I was disgusted watching 3 of our guys waiting on a defensive rebound, and no one blocks out, and a Ole Miss player comes in and dunks it. We just stood there looking at each other wondering why the other guy didn't block out. We simply do not understand what it takes to win on the road. If we give the effort we gave at LSU, we blow them out. Simply put, there is a glaring lack of leadership on this team. When the team picks Donta Hall and a freshman Herb Jones as a captain, that tells you something. Now we've had some bad luck, with our only 2 seniors getting injured, and playing without Key for most of the year. It seems to me, we are not managing egos very well.
We do not have a true PG either which hurts us. Collin is more a 2 guard than a point. Until we have a true PG, I think we'll struggle. Next year we may actually be better with Jared Butler.
