If Perry continues to play like this we could go a long way.

It's early but they are playing better ball I have seen us play in quite a while, especially on defense.

Looking good so far. Perry making plays, Molinar playing well and everyone getting after it on defense.

Way too many turnovers. They are trying to make good plays going to the basket they just need to take care of the ball better. It is early in the season though.

This extended defense is great.

They do not value the basketball for sure. But Tyson passed up a wide open 3 with 3 Teammates under the goal to drive and turn it over. Decision making.

Then we throw it in and have 4 guys around it, pass on an 8 footer and get it stolen. Just sloppy ball handling. There is such a thing as being too aggressive.

Turnovers have been a huge problem in every game.

Our TO/game is among the worst in the country. Hopefully getting Nick back will cut into that.

They showed Jim and Coach Williams a few minutes ago.

Man, Jim looks old...

I mean he’s in his 70s and retired from doing everything but baseball three years ago. Retired from his university job probably a decade ago. He’s an older dude.

We would be running away with this if not for turnovers. Need to nip that in the bud. Otherwise we’ve been impressive today.

I've seen a couple of games so far this year so I do not have a good sample. We have too many guys, not just freshmen, that try to make plays (and passes) they are not capable of making. Turnovers. I love our energy, our physicality, effort, length, flexibility. I do not love our shooting when Carter is having games like today. When Spoon returns, we can only get better. I like this team so far.

We’re young in spots, and also don’t really have a true point guard. Frankly I’m not even sure Nick is either when he comes back. He can handle the ball, sure, but he’s been a 2 for us until this year. We have a bunch of talented guards, but nobody who I would call a distributor.

Woodard, Carter, and Stewart are 1-11. Good thing everyone else is 12-13. The former are averaging double figures, so if they come alive in the second half it shouldn't be close.

We must lead the nation in unforced turnovers. Sheez we are careless with the ball much of the time

Man, we’re really starting to see the last two games what these guys are capable of. We’re gonna have some ups and downs, but I think this team is going to win some big games this season

Hell of a response to that guy draining back to back threes. But we all knew going into the season the Feazell to Oduro fast break alley oop was gonna be a common occurance this year.

Oduro is looking good. I like Ado's defense, but Fezell and Oduro have better offensive skills

Hate to say it, but we’ve been saying “while you don’t see what Ado does in the stat line..” for too long. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a player hustle so much yet produce so few meaningful stats

the thing i've like the last couple of games is that we are doing what we should against teams we are better than. tough to tell since a few of these teams aren't that good, but we aren't losing these like we have done so many years in the past. Looks like right now we are cruising with the young guys.

Number 1 is lazy without the ball and a turnover machine with it.

Reggie Perry is? Are you serious? He is 7-8 and has 18 points. GTFO, that guy is a SEC POTY candidate.

Nobody on this team is lazy, that’s for sure too. Have you been watching this game?

5 min w/o a FG in the 2nd. Perry fouled out with over 6min to go.... and...

We won by 14.

I'll take it.

Nope. He is a good player, but he is most definitely sloppy with the ball and when he gets frustrated he loses his aggressiveness. That’s a fact jack!

He is definitely not a POY candidate.... YET. He got to work harder.

Ok, boomer /s

But it is fair to say this team has gotta clean up TO as a whole. Can’t turn it over 23 times and expect to beat Kentucky.

He reminds me of a diet Ben Wallace from the 2004 Pistons team...rim protector with limited offensive abilities
