TigerPAC 985 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Stinks for sure. Guard play still is our Achilles heel, once again. No shooter, no one that can really drive by or dribble thru people. I know Holloway is young but guess I expected more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arktiger1975 598 Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 Different year, same old s---. No improvement from last year. At best another 2nd round exit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillMunny 1,384 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 All overreactions aside, we have zero Quad 1 wins in three tries this season, and Pearl was obviously on a freaking mission to win all three. We just lost two in a row. He has failed in getting us the most important aspect in the game: perimeter shooters. We'll have a decent season, then may struggle to keep our most important players from transferring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,416 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Good grief … just like cbp said last week. We are better than people thought preseason but not as good as people thought about a minute before our game in ttown we are somewhere around the 4th best team in the league and about the 20th in the country which is where we’ll be ranked come Monday we have the ability to be better than that if we can put it together 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time, all of our our Quad 1 games have been on the road or at a neutral site. And they've all been single digit losses. And we're barely a third of the way through the SEC schedule. We have four more opportunities before the regular season is out to get some Quad 1 wins, and 2 of those are at Neville. I think it's way too early to be throwing in the towel on how far we'll go. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you're right, as I tend to overreact after losses. I'll feel better tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Old Piss was a Quad 1 win. warrennolan.com has us with one quad 1 win in the RPI and now they are ranked ahead of us (15 vs. 18) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPTiger 5,202 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Wendall shot 36% last year and Zep shot 33%. Aden is sitting at 33% rn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I don’t know how good or bad we are. I just know down the stretch you can’t have an opponent miss a free throw and pick up the ball while bouncing off the floor, untouched and lay it in. You are going to have off shooting games. You have to win those with effort and fundamentals. I don’t see much sharpness in these departments. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Aden was much more highly touted. Aden started the season well, but has struggled lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were about the same when we played. That would only be a Quad 1 win if we played them at their place. To be a Quad 1 win at home they have to be ranked 30th or higher.

TitanTiger 20,542 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I still think Aden is gonna be special. It’s hard to be a true freshman PG in this league this year. Barely half a season in. Got time to grow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not easy to be great right out the gate as a PG in this league. Tre has made great strides as a sophomore compared to last season. I think Aden has a higher ceiling than that. And there’s a lot of season left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew then it was over. I’m in Mississippi watching with a bunch of State fans at work. It was zero fun. I have tickets to Oxford next Saturday and I can’t imagine sitting among them and losing. We have to win that game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
