  1. that’s what the mizzou game was like. that’s been the only game i’ve caught live so far this year and it was just so dead in there with all of the empty possessions where the ball sticks somewhere for 15 seconds, nobody moves, and we end up with some terrible, off-the-dribble fade away jumper. we actually won the game, but it was truly one of the most unsatisfying games i’ve ever watched in person. my friend who i went with and i both left the arena with a bad taste in our mouth. it was just ugly and uninspiring.
  2. this team has top 25/sweet 16 talent. we have a better roster than texas a&m, missouri, ole miss, vanderbilt, and mississippi state, and our roster is probably equal to if not better than tennessee’s roster. and yet: we’re 11th in offense and 10th in defense in the league. that’s been the hardest part for me this year. i’m watching a group of guys who essentially always play at a level that is lesser than the sum of its parts. so many coaches in this league doing less with more.

    11th in offense, 10th in defense in the sec.
  4. on the one hand playing at Vanderbilt is always tough, in no small part because your coach is so far away from you that you can’t hear him when you’re on the floor. on the other hand Rodney Terry and his staff don’t seem to do any in-game coaching so it might be a moot point anyway.
  5. there’s at least one guy who still keeps coming into this thread getting mad that people are talking about firing RT. edit: I can see now that he’s in here claiming that he does not defend RT. Post 3013 and all ensuing and previous posts of his in this thread would beg to differ
  6. i’ve posted this before, but the two tenets of an RT team are 1)they don’t turn the ball over (we did last night and you saw what happened), and 2)they don’t defend the three point line (you see the wide open looks we give up every game). on nights like last night where we are turning the ball over, it can get ugly, especially since our bench seems to have no idea how to adjust when the players are having an off night.
  7. arkansas had 8 steals and 7 blocks last night. they had our number and we did nothing to switch up, just kept on playing loose with the ball, not matching genie aggression, and driving to the rim over and over and over only to get our shit swatted, never adjusting to a drive and kick, or thinking to head fake and try and get the defender off his feet. basically, we just do what we do (which is mostly player-led street ball on offense) and we’ve got no counters or adjustments. if you can slow down or stop that, we’re cooked. also, it was scary how much we needed shedrick last night. we were a totally different team with him on the floor, his return to the game is what sparked the attempted comeback. being that dependent on kadin shedrick in order to compete vs a physical team is uh…not good.
  8. god damn sylvia is one fat, dumb cunt.

  10. at this point there’s no reason not to trust cdc’s judgement when it comes to evaluating his current coaches and then replacing them with better ones. i have total faith in CDC.
  11. mark williams is a good add for LAL.
  12. he might find a landing spot in oxford next year. 👀 not really. but maybe.
  13. thought i’d edited my post to add this: guess not.
  14. he’s definitely my pick out of anyone who is conceivably available at this point. then TJO, then mccasland.
  15. brandon ingram to the raptors for kelly olynyk.
  16. lol @ espn thinking soortscenter would start at 10:00.
  17. 51.5 left, 69-64 arkie.
  18. theoretically, we are back in this game. Let’s see what kind of shots we take down the stretch.
  19. 12-0 run, 58-49 arkie.
  20. our players are so out of control, and nobody in the program is even trying to reel them in.
  21. we lead the league in FT% but we don’t make it a point to get to the line.
  22. we would shoot the ball at a much higher percentage if there was *any* impetus for us to try and take good shots. we’ve got some shooting talent, but we lack the structure or discipline for it to matter.
