I see hangover from an overtime, ******, 17ed up travel loss. They look tentative.

Well... it was fun to be in talks about the Dance. Every time we play these 17ers up there they make every 17ing three they shoot.

Maybe the Ado steal and dunk will jumpstart them.

That's not the problem tonight.

We are playing terribly on defense. They are hitting every shot.

They are shoving us out on offense to throw up threes from midcourt instead of getting open inside.'

In a nutshell, they are making us play exactly opposite of how we have been playing.

tossing long threes, not attacking the zone. Look a little gassed at the end of the half here.

We looked tired at the end of the half. Think our travel schedule caught up with us some.

Gut check time. We got out efforted by a team with nothing to play for that first half. Either play your asses off for 20 minutes or it's NIT this year (which is fine, but not what we or they want right now).

Also, it seems like we hedge on those screens too much and it leaves us scrambling. A good passing team like vandy at home is eating that up.

Man do I hate the games at vandy.

Me too. Seems like no matter whose record is what, we roll into town and suddenly they are master of the three-point shot.

Look at history if you don't believe me.

I think our weekend may have sucked some of the life out of us. We need someone to get hot that is not Stapelton or Datcher.

We are clueless against a zone. That's the difference, when they went zone.

Looked like the ref inserted himself into that and goaded him into something. That was crap

Come on Holman. They’ve got 10 3 pointers in the game. Stop getting sucked inside.

I've defended Stapleton occasionally in the past. I've got nothing but contempt for what he just pulled on his teammates. I'm fine if he's ready to declare for the draft.

I think it's pretty

obvious that our guys are still dealing, tired from the weekend travel fiasco.

They are playing terrible on D and that is their bread and butter.

I give up on us ever getting the benefit of calls. So many missed calls in this game. We’re getting lost on screens and leaving someone wide open for the 3. Waiting for a scooby doo type reveal of one of the vandy players being Foster.

We might as well get ready for the NIT boys. I knew we were behind the eight ball after that screwing Saturday and the travel problems. We are not a seasoned team and don't know how to throw something like that off.

Bail them out with the foul call at the end of the shot clock on the last 3 trips down the floor, this is 17ng ridiculous.
