I'm convinced the NBA draft is your thing. Do YOU know anything about hoops? I don't believe you do. Watch the kid. Just because he's heads and above most on the team doesn't make him a superstar.

I agree, and I watch the NBA every night. He would fare better in the old NBA, but his skills are so far below the others. I wouldn’t draft him in the first round.

JQ just went 9 months without playing. Again, he's the least of our problems. Not sure why you are going after him so hard.

Crazy thing is that we had been getting destroyed, but they current balance of the game hangs on a few plays.

-Oweh missing 2 wide open layups and going 0-2 at the one trip from the line.

-Alabama's player getting the offensive rebound and calling a timeout as he was in the air out of bounds. Bama then made a 3. I wasn't even aware they changed that rule. It's rarely used these days.

That's 8-9 points right there. Basketball is crazy.

No, @Rainmaker , MANY of us were jaded by the SS situation. I guess it wasn't a big deal to you. You clearly do not know what the word "hate" means. Go back to Reddit.

ugh... this team

this second half time to get serious mindset is frustrating.

They clearly are good enough to beat Bama.

Each game is like they have to learn how to play together and they figure it out with 10 minutes left

Maybe, but I still think he’s very much overrated. For a top 10 NBA draft potential type of guy, I don’t see it. He isn’t dominant on the defensive end, has no offensive game, shoots below 50% from the free throw line.
Yeah I don’t think he will end up a top 10 pick based on how the game is played these days .

Having one above average passer doesn’t help a guy like him either

Oweh misses layups that make me wanna see if he’s betting. Preseason gambler of the year

Game.

Not sure why the universe hates UK but that's a divine nail in our coffin.

There are things that he hasn't been doing this game that have nothing to do with going 9 months without playing. Unless you think people forget how to ride a bicycle after 9 months away from one, lol. They're paid players.

Sometimes, when the other team is hitting from the logo, you just have to tip your cap

See there an all NBA guard couldn’t stop the the small circus shooter today.

Lowe can score yes but we need assist from him as well. JQ needs more touches too. They are plan out ignoring him. Its pissing me off

Down 13, 2 minutes left, why are we forcing the ball inside?
The only way you get it even close is if you shoot 3's and rebound.
I thought Cal was gone?

I think that not starting Lowe and Quaintance sets the tone and we always have to dig out of a hole.

I'm disappointed that Pope doesn't realize this.

I think Pope just realizes these guys aren't at full health yet and won't be playing the amount of mins they should be. Better to have those mins at the end than beginning.


Also FWIW this game was extremely close when JQ and Lowe finally checked in.

Now I see why we have no players signed for next year. Would you want to come play in this system where you may get 17 to 20 minutes per game

Or you can go literally anywhere else and get 30 to 35

Don’t discount a team getting up 20 and then relaxing. It happens. This game was never, ever, in doubt. And it sure as hell didn’t come down to a few plays like you suggest.
