will bring out a rejuvenated team. They looked lethargic Saturday and not only did Bama beat us twice, Missouri beat us like a red-headed step child. The energy was lacking from the tip.
I'm hoping that the rest this week...

I think the week off is very much needed for this team. Schedule the rest of the season is still tough, but more manageable than the first half was.
Yup. I think this is going to be a turning point for the season one way or the other. Either our problem is we're just worn down and we come out of it refreshed and take care of business the second half of the schedule, or we have some other problem and we continue on our current trajectory.

Agree. Either we respond and have a good season and a good seed in the tournament, or we're looking at 7-11 SEC and a play in game.
This league is a grind for sure. But it's also an opportunity for Jans to earn his money. Let's see him get these guys ready to play and come out with their hair on fire against UGA. That would be a much needed encouraging sign.
Jans mentioned that the off week is either good or bad, depending on your perspective.
I think it's good. Sometimes, you need to play to win and get the bad taste out of your mouth. But this team is 2-5 over the last seven games with two OT wins. I don't think there are many teams we could beat right now. The break is a chance to reset going into the second half of the SEC season.

I guess since we didn't play them in football this year, the Bama basketball team assumed the role of beating us twice in one game. It's been happening in football as far back as I can remember. ***
Not making excuses, but I think it's worth noting that Mizzou's mid-week bye was last week.
missed that, glad you pointed it out, and yes it is 100% worth noting
Gives them some time to spend with their fat little girlfriends.
I am afraid this team has quit. We will see in the first 5 minutes against Georgia if they have.
They haven’t quit. They were never as good as folks made them out to be. We don’t have a true pg, don’t have any physical bigs and still lack shooters. On top of that we don’t run an offense designed to put guys in a position to succeed. And when you factor in all of our defensive liabilities then it’s just a mediocre team that played well for a couple of games.
We are bottom 1/4 talent wise in the conference, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing this year. But they definitely haven’t quit.
Jans is going to have to reevaluate his methods in identifying players in the portal because other teams are picking up high level players that are proven and we’re picking up guys off bad teams, are undersized, have a couple issues here or there, rode the bench, etc. It’s time to act like a big boy program if you’re going to get big boy support and pay.
Good summary. Hopefully State can get to 8 wins and get a decent ncaa seed. Then hopefully the sec is as good as everyone says, and State can win a game in the tournament.
Don't be ridiculous. They had a bad game against a good team. It happens. They didn't quit vs Alabama the game before.
