Overall our guards are just horrible

They're not good shooters from the perimeter (Ravern excluded), they're horrendous ball-handlers and passers, they can't penetrate and they can't guard anybody on the perimeter. Our problems go way beyond "toughness". Our offense looks like a glorified game of 21. Other teams continually get high percentage shots against us and we constantly are taking horrible, highly challenged shots. Luckily the SEC is down or this would be an even longer season than it's going to be. I agree, getting to the NIT would be considered a huge accomplishment.

Getting to the NIT in a pathetic league is a big accomplishment? Shouldn't this be the time you want to run away with a pathetic league? Granted, everybody knew this would be a down year, so I get what you are saying. But, is there ANYTHING that you've seen so far this season to give you confidence that Stains and co. can build on and improve for next year? Offense sucks ***, substitutions are horrible, good players are again getting buried on the bench, we'll have a few un-needed transfers, and there's the chance that Jarvis is gone. Next year is looking to be another in a long line of "wait till next year" under Stains.

my point was that we're not a very good basketball team and getting to the NIT would actually be an accomplishment b/c I'm not sure this team is good enough to have an overall winning record. We're much worse than I thought we'd be.
