Tiger 8,817 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Gotta tip my hat to Colin Sexton. We already knew kid is a baller but his last 24 hours have been incredible. So much for @GwillMac6 and I saying "hold everyone else and make 1 guy beat our team and we have a good shot"...well Sexton is an elite talent. We have no shot if 2 of our 3 guards have off games and today Harper and Bryce were off today -- and Mustapha was solid but not great. Shake it off, put it behind us and lets go on a run starting next week. Depending on matchups we can still very much be a Sweet 16 team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad_ATX 13,654 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 South Carolina and Florida each had a double bye last year in the SEC Tourney and each lost on Friday. They played each other in the Elite Eight two weeks later. What I'm saying is, there's still a lot of ball to go. Win two games next weekend and no one cares about today.

I seriously thought if Petty had another clunker like he did last time we would win easily. He shot 2/10 and we still got blown out. The layups were painful and we had ZERO fast break points for the game. It's ok, sucks it's vs Bama but lets focus on winning the weekend next week. We can still do that and the odds are against us playing so poorly as a team again IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUDynasty 585 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Some of us were discussing how we would be fine with an early exit for more rest time for a longer run in the NCAA—and now we got it. More rest time for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SEC better take a look at the film and take action against him. It wasn’t Cochran. It was a dumpy guy with a ponytail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike4AU 1,739 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Celebrate the SEC championship and realize that being down three scholarship players finally caught up with us. It is a long season and the wear and tear on the bodies has been exacerbated by not having those three guys. Pretty amazing accomplishment, when one thinks about it.

Last few road games of the year Harper and Bryce were off. No more home games. All neutral from here on out. So far they are 0 for 1. They are acting like home babies when their talent is much better than that and they showed earlier in the season they can shine on the road. No time for this now.

I agree it's a little concerning as much as I'm trying to ignore it since we played the worst half of bball of the entire season today. Is Bryce's foot injury still bothering him because he has not been the same since he got injured. Harper is seemingly hitting a wall, I thought maybe some rest was what we needed and our 1st half we looked good but we it was atrocious in the 2nd. Maybe this spanking is a big refocusing tool. Not hitting the panic button yet, we played awful as a team today and even if we had Anfernee it wouldn't have made a difference with how we shot the ball today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,469 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I think we just aren't the same without McLemore. Not only was he a rim protector, he was a good rebounder and three point shooter. He made other people's big men have to come out of the paint to guard him. Plus, his absence took Spencer out of a role that was working well for him - coming off the bench for 15 mins a game to spell Mac and others and exposed his liabilities as a scorer and defender (he fouls a lot). Additionally, his absence exposed Murray, Spencer and Okeke to more minutes so they weren't as fresh. Now if Brown isn't hurt and Harper doesn't lose his touch as well, we probably survive that anyway. But we can't have Brown out of commission, Harper shooting poorly AND Mac out all at the same time.
