That's the difference in us being in first and in this tie for second to fifth.

Stupid goal tending against A&M
Reed leaving his man against Florida
Rob leaving his man against LSU

Those three plays all cost us games. Win those 3 and we are 15-2 and playing UT for first Saturday

Assuming Auburn beats Georgia and Bama beats Arkansas, We have to beat UT on the road to get a double bye.

Lots of mistakes were make during the entirety of the three games you mentioned above that would have prevented those losses.

Or our thickheaded coach deciding not to foul up 3, when 99% of the coaches in the country would have?


That’s just absolutely fake news and made up

Check the analytics. Why do so many here push for lessening our odds? While a small percentage, analytics say don’t foul. So no where close to 99% and I’d wager it’s pretty close to 50/50.

With our mistake prone play at the end of games, extending a game is absolutely silly. Take your chances that we can stop them from three points one time.

It is funny seeing so many bash him for reasons that simply aren’t true. Kind of defeats the narrative and brings true the Bennie’s notion.

Just the crazy nature of sports. A bounce here, a missed bounce there, can make all the difference in how your season finishes.

LSU game wright also stepped out of bounds as he started his drive to the basket. Uk should have had ball close to midcourt with about .06 to go and the 1 point lead.

It isn't. He hits that and we're up 4 and they can hit whatever crazy 3 they want.
If Reed doesn't give up a 3 we still win.

After Rob's miss, we were still winning by 3. After Reed gave up a 3, it was tied and went to OT, where Reed also gave up another 3, maybe 2.

It was also Reed who got scored over at the end of the LSU game. People want to blame Rob, but in man 2 man, you have to switch. Rob got beat, Reed switched onto the guy who scored over Reed on the putback.

Your pulling statistics out of the air or somewhere else, and trying to make them fit your agenda. It was proven by ANANLYTICS that when a team fouls in that situation, they win 98.7% of the time. So Cal's personal nuthugger, most coaches from middle school on up would foul in that situation and would win 99% of the time.

Rob didn't get beat, he watched the ball as his man went to the paint. Reeds man is 13 who he was on, Rob was on 15. Reed switched late, but Rob was ball watching

Even Rob admits it was his man

Rob got beat, which is how is man got passed him and in the lane. That's the definition of getting beat. Reed switched onto him, as you do in man 2 man D, and Reed got scored on. They both screwed up, but it was Reed who go scored on.

Would you honestly expect Rob not to take the blame as a teammate?
