Tahaad should be that speedy guard we've desperately needed the last couple of years....

I see that, but man, you gotta take the good shots and not just force it. 
I watched a bit of the final four team the other day, we were blessed to have Harper. Sure he was small, but he was fast and aggressive. We just don’t have that right now and it would be nice to have a guy they could explode to the basket every now and then. 

I completely agree.  I never said he was taking good shots, just that he has to keep shooting to get out of the slump.  Even the few good shots he has taken have just been off.  He will be fine. He is just a kid and has a lot of expectations on his shoulders. One day he will mature and stop forcing the game and blossom into the player he always was...or he won't. Only time will tell.

The Moo State lose still burns me up. I think if u had the Broome vs Bama against them u win that game pretty easily

Things could always be better, but this isn't a game that would make me ready to burn the house down over. Just gotta keep on winning 

Yep

alot of things worse than a crappy 20 point conference win

Our defense coupled with a  not so great shooting team, has us holding Vandy to 46 with 4:17 left in the game.

He doesn’t do that as much as I thought he would 

I know that’s not his game but I thought he’d do that more , particularly in his slump

Yeah if our offense could just be half as decent we will not be a team anyone wants to see in the NCAA tournament.

I hope so. Excited for him. I would just like another PG that the size of Samir Doughty or KT Harrell.  I love me some big PG. Pettiford seems to be around 6-6'1.  He really plays bigger it seems, though.

If there is one noteworthy takeaway, you keep yourself highly graded when you beat the hell out of these bad teams and only lose close in those Q1 moments. 

[e808 3,028]

Sigh. Adens shot just doesn’t look right for some reason. Like he’s off balance

I hope this is remembered as the game that got Denver Jones going. If he can give us double digits constantly…oh man

And he did it aggressively.

Nice bounce back win! Now let's go beat Ole Miss Saturday. Their radio crew was talking payback after the first time we beat them.

We need him. We need a reliable scorer. I thought CBM was going to be that..

Still need PG play to step up

I wish they gave out stuff like that when I was at Auburn.  I would have killed some chicken Italians from Findleys!

[CCTAU 3,351]

Man. Somebody pissed off that one ref.

Jared Harper's twin is on the floor. Lol
