These are seed-line losses. Just inexplicable how flat we continue to be against teams we should steamroll.

We play exactly like his BYU teams and they were all notoriously soft.
They could shoot, pass and look pretty on O but they were always soft.

Which outside a miracle shooting run no way this team can win 6 in a row in March. The outcome so far has exceeded my expectations but it sure is frustrating.
Reminding myself its year one with a very well put together rag tag bunch.
I’d say when you go 0-4 against Clemson, OSU, UGA, and Vandy there’s not much point in even thinking of this, tbh
One of the things that really drives me crazy, and is usually an indication of toughness, is that we don’t ever seem to get on the floor for loose balls. They are always reaching for them instead of getting down on the ground. Well that and we tend to shy away from contact in the lane with Butler and Robinson being the worst.
Williams has been disappointing.
As well as Chandler. Not sure what the hell Pope was thinking with that kid. Jesus.

I have to give Chandler a break. I don’t care how good you are in high school. You don’t play for two years you’re going to struggle at this level.
Michael Jordan didn't seem to have a problem.
Well the first two months of the season were pretty awesome.
Still have several hard games left home and away. Just don’t f’k up next Saturday ffs.

Not disagreeing with you necessarily, but that Vandy team isn't the normal doormat of the league. Yes, absolutely should have won, but also not shocked we lost on the road.
Byington has won a tournament game.
Pope has not.
Our coach got his lunch handed to him today. It happens.
Still can’t get over our senior laden team (especially our guards) just folding down the stretch. Knew we would struggle with our lack of athleticism, but didn’t think we would struggle with decision making.
Would be cool if Einstein could keep us from being down double digits at the end of most 1st half’s.
To be fair to Butler after thinking about it, he had to play the entire second half because Perry kept getting cooked.
No kidding. The greatest player ever to lace them up didn’t have issues with the transition?
I hated on Krissa plenty early in the season but we could’ve used him today. It’s rare that our offense looks that stale. Kerr is a catalyst if nothing else.
Well 10-9 or 9-10 in SEC is still in play.
Good chance we may not be in top 25 at the end of the season.
Could name off a bunch of things that have already been said, but I suppose we should be happy that Pope has us sniffing the top 10 of rankings in his first year. I am fine with that and still feel we can make some noise in March. No matter what, the future is bright.
But this is not a championship team.

i mean we could only dream of playing this type of defense.
But that’s what most of BBN has begged for for years now. Less defense, more modern high scoring offense.
Tuesday night will have both teams in the 90’s I’d suppose.

As a Travis Perry fan I am genuinely concerned for him if he has to guard Pettiford for even one play.
I can’t remember the last guard that had that mix of fast and quick and that killer instinct.

Butler continuing to play hurt may be starting to take a toll. But dude is a warrior and I want him leading our squad.
Watching Thiero rot on Arkansas is frustrating. He’s tough/exactly what we need.
He is averaging 16+ PPG, 6+ RPG and a couple of assists. He is the leader scorer on a team of one and done chuckers.
He would be our leading scorer cleaning up missed shots. Exactly what we need.
I don’t feel sorry for Thiero as he had offers from Pitt and UNC too.
He chose to follow Cal after being a player of his.
But of course he’d be the savior of this team that has far and away exceeded expectations.
If only our backup PG wasn’t out, our PF wasn’t hurt and now out, and our starting PG wasn’t playing at maybe 80%, but nevermind all that I bet Pope blocked another million dollar to keep Thiero here.

To be fair, dude was always injured while here. I would have been upset if we whiffed on some of the latter additions to keep him here.
I’m happy he’s having success on a ****** team, though.
The biggest choke job of the year couldn't happen to a better team, at home in the Phog.
