Unreal you had to get that damn rebound you just gave up 2 pts for no reason we had 3 chances to get a stop couldn't do it

FRUSTRATING

We had to perfect 100% from the line to lead by 1

That was 8 OFF rebounds they have got and we had some stupid turnovers like we always do since we don't have a true PG

FAWK we couldn't give up that last 2 FAWK FAWK FAWK
🤣 🤣

I used to work with a former D-1 recruiter. He said guard play a dime a dozen, but difference in the elite is with the bigs. Just not very many to choose from. To take the next step we can't rely on mid-major big transfers. This team is soft.

Trying to win with smoke and mirrors out here. Just sucks without Butler and Robinson we are going to finish so low in the SEC standings and give away seed after seed because of them being out.

FAWK so pissed off watching this

Noah is our second best rebounder. That’s not optimal. Carr is only a decent rebounder at 100% healthy and he’s playing at about 60%. That’s one area where Garrison could really help them but he’s just not very athletic nor interested in doing anything other than score.

Our rebounding sucks, seems like everyone stands around waiting for Williams to get the rebound. He isn’t Oscar, he needs help!

6 turnovers some real bad ones too and gave up 8 OFF rebounds and they are killing us inside.

We have only 2 OFF rebounds against a team much smaller

Like WTF

We go 12/12 from line and they go 2/4 that is only reason we lead that sure as heck won't keep up

Even WITH Robinson and Butler this team struggled with defense. Been a struggle all year and Pope hasn't figured it out. This team hasn't figured it out. Rebounding is about want to and this veteran just doesn't appear to want it.

Perry just getting a
Noah and Perry need to keep shooting in the second half. We can’t win this game without them hitting some shots. Shake off the misses and keep shooting it with confidence. They will fall!!
They both SUCKED in first half Almanor and Chandler need those minutes in this game

Lord the injuries have reduced this team to a shell of its former self.

Hope the Cats can just get to the end of the regular season without completely imploding. Regardless, it’s painful to watch.

This is why I would have loved for Pope to be under Pitino here for a year. PITINO ALWAYS COACHED creating a wall for a rebound. These guys just stand around.
It just does not feel like these are hard things to teach. Maybe I am wrong
Literally all he has to do is observe a rebounding situation in practice, and stop practice immediately when someone isn't JUMPING and FIGHTING for the rebound. Call that player out.

Gotta hit the boards. Amari has 5. Oweh as a guard and Noah in limited time have 2 each. Heck even Perry & Chandler have 1.

Garrison, Almanor, Brea & Carr have a combined 1.
Garrison, Brea and Almonar are all TERRIBLE rebounders. Carr is injury limited. Can’t Pope get these guys motivated to rebound or are they just that bad? Guess you can’t teach old dogs new tricks.

I hope we mix up our defense a little.
Gotta be creative a few possessions when it’s clear you get guard straight up

why many people on the board so sure that he sbould be starting center next season?
