We are pretty good--that's a problem

[tripod]

We've only lost to good teams and not by much, and beaten some real good teams. So when you are "pretty good," you don't want to mess with things too much. Sometimes you are better off being not as good, so you are forced to change things up, address your weaknesses, play different guys etc. Why not see if we can get more energy from the bench, or try some different sets, or mix defenses?

Egos - think we have some Prima Donnas who cry over playing time.

Um UNI is flat out terrible.. Losing to Baylor and West Virginia at home is really inexcusable.

Physical teams will always beat this team. The signs have been there since the Maryland game last year.

 

[demoncore1031]

This team is very talented, but something just doesn't click on certain nights.

 

[PFlatts]

No.....no.....no

 

[awd4cy]

Good thing Johnathan Holton wasn't playing. Might have been a worse home loss.

 

[bringmagicback]

i say get the losses out of the way, figure out whats wrong, be good by tourney time. Also, yes we are not good with physicality.

Ah... so a "wake up call"

Haha! Love it. Irony is so hard to do!

The rest of the conference season is pretty meaningless, just get to .500 and get a decent seed and see what happens in March

got to wake up sometime.

Every team loses bad games. Every team. I contend this wasn't the most horrible loss suffered in the history of basketball, but maybe it was.

 

[Goothrey]

It's a pretty good team. Unfortunately it isn't great (which we thought coming into the season). Not that different from the past few years.

 

[bringmagicback]

Ah... so a "wake up call"

however I have slept through wake up calls and missed flights 3 times. Almost 4 but the 4th time, the guy unlocked my door and woke me up. Maybe we need a mexican gentleman who cares enough to come in the room to wake the team up having already called a town car to the airport and help us frantically pack while yelling no shower in broken english.

That and teams with good guards that can get to the rim and score...combine the two and it's lethal.

God bless the Peabody hotel btw.

Enough with the "moral victories". A loss is a loss, and losing to WVU and Baylor at home is inexcusable. Those teams are NOT top 10 teams, they are good teams, that we should beat at Hilton every single time. If we lose to them on the road, so be it, but should not and can not lose to them at home. Florida just got done absolutely waxing them at home, we should have beaten then by 10+ points.

 

[rholtgraves]

They could have killed WVU if they didn't have stupid TOs and miss so many free throws
