Great pass by Releford on the dunk. We can't stop them defensively.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Not seeing how we were a 10+ favorite...

One thing about this staff that is starting to get to me - we start to play well as we did right before the first timeout, then CAG subs a few guys that are cold and we start over

Yeah I've been complaining about that all year. In the USC game it was like grant thought you were required to sub at any dead ball. Sometimes the 5 that are in make no sense too. Arkansas game it wasn't nearly as bad. Gotta give them time to get in a groove.

Was tonight "JPW Hair" night for the students?

That's been every night for the last ten years.

Why do no we not try to get the ball into th epost to initiate offense??

To look at the other side of it, the players really haven't separated themselves enough to dictate a clear start/sub rotation. IMO, Steele is not in enough. He changes the team, when he stays in long enough...

Our offense still reminds me of hot potato. Whoever has at the end shoots

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Rather than dribble around the outside until it's under 10, we might as well throw into the middle and see what happens...

ole miss on a 9-0 run..

It's disturbing. It's exactly what we were ripping Gottfried for...

 

[Ldlane]

Not getting any calls right now! But, still say we don't have the 3 man game going. We start out in 1-4 high, make our initial move and give up penetrating. PG needs to take charge.

 

[HendersonKYTide]

Well the question of which team would show up looks like it is being answered. We saw this one against Vandy and SC

But he does not stick with guys when things start going well. Randolphgot a couple of boards and was willing to shoot a 3 like he was not scared to death, and got subbed at the first TO and I think sat till just now

Green has been quick, aggressive and on the glass - I would play him 38 minutes tonight

LOL

You nailed it.

But the entry passes have to come in the flow of the offense. Most times when we have the ball on the wing, we're staring down the post guy. It's too slow. Think of the number of turnovers we've seen from that (1 already tonight).

The problems with doing this are compounded by all of the ball screens we set with our post guys. I wouldn't mind seeing some kind of flex thing happen, where we get the ball to the post to someone other than JG or Gueye.

 

[HendersonKYTide]

Absolutely no offense on the floor. Could get bad.

 

[beatthemtigers]

Are you serious man??? this is RIDICULOUS!!!

 

[RollTide1224]

I maintain that gueyye doesn't know how to play basketball.

 

[Madmaxo]

That wasn't very smart...

I agree. I haven't bet on a game in years, but from now on I'm betting each time we are a favorite. I don't see how we can score enough points to ever win a game by double digits.
