It’s tough to take a week and a half off and expect to jump back in, on the road, conference opener (even though SC already played one?) against a team riding an emotional high, and win. We looked rusty, and for the first time this season our freshmen looked and played like freshmen.

Offensive rebounds and free throws were our worst enemy tonight. The cool part was we actually almost shot our way to victory anyway.

I’m more curious why the SEC decided it was cool for 4 teams to start their conference season after the other 10...and on top of that MSU and Auburn both a game behind AND on the road. Nit picky, but it does make a difference. Don’t be surprised if Ole Miss upsets Auburn tomorrow.

It sucks, but it’s not the end of the world. Still have 17 more chances to turn some heads. Even Kentucky lost to Alabama.

I thought our biggest 2 issues were free throw shooting and soft defense. Defense has looked off for a while now. Still can't believe we gave up 50 points in the first half to Wofford.
