Maybe it’s inexperience...

...but we play dumb. We just lost a game when the other team simply dribbled up the court and handed the ball to the beat three point shooter in the league to shoot an uncontested three. They didn’t even have to pass it.

Yes. Young blood. They'll learn. Painful.

It is but don't say the "Y" word or you will get hammered.

Their first half was terrible but the second half tells me we are getting better. The last 3 or 4 years it would have ended in a 30 point blowout.

Our biggest problem right now is some of our subs are terrible. When we get the 3 players on deck for next season and watch a couple move out, we will look like a totally different squad with most of the same players and scratch our heads in bewilderment.

At what point do they stop being "young"?

I am still trying to wrap my head around how in the world that happens. Best shooter on the team dribbles the ball towards the arc, doesn’t even hint at passing, but both Q and Peters drift to a player without the ball. Then said shooter knocks down a wide open 3

I mean, I could have handled literally any other player on the court knocking down a shot, but what 17ing defense does not include defending the guy with the 17ing ball??? Does that seriously need to be coached?

Let’s call a spade a spade, we play unintelligent

Basketball and it gets us beat. We don’t lack
Talent or effort we are just do 17inng stupid.

Well, we have a freshmen and two sophomore guards in N. Weatherspoon, Peters, and Carter. Timmy Bowers, Derrick Zimmerman, and Winsome Frazier had 14 total starts between them their freshman and sophomore years.

Obviously not this year

When they get older.

That was easy.

I think having no seniors is still a major problem. They're the ones that make sure the team has a sense of urgency throughout the season. We didn't have a sense of urgency early in SEC play or in the first half of the last two games
