Some key basketball statistics that show us why we are so disappointing in SEC play

And this is looking at SEC only stats when we have our full team

*We're getting outrebounding by <font color="#ff0000">67% </font><font color="#000000">on the offensive end (167 to 100). Just a huge difference. </font><font color="#000000">

* We've been outscored 154-91 on 2nd chance points (doesn't include KY which didn't have this stat on the boxscore)

* We're -38 on the turnover comparison and -23 on steals compard to our opponents.

* All that leads to a whopping 137 more FGA for our opponents (817 to 680 for MSU).

We do have a +35 advantage on FT's which helps some, but not a ton.

Recruiting kids with poor attitudes that think of themselves before team (uncoachable), transfers...that force you to sign kids with less ability, and also prevents you from signing quality talent because there seems to be a problem within the program, coddling star players that creates dissension among the team, and just poor coaching in general...the staff included. Next year will not be any better, if Dee and RS come back we will have a solid front court, but our back court is going to be very thin with proven players.

And the rebounding thing is effort and just attempting to block out and we don't do either with any consistency.

...second chance points when your entire five start heading back on defense as soon as a three gets jacked up. It's like every player expects all of our shots to go in.
