[Crawfords Corner]

No way Wheeler is coming back. If he doesn't have a concussion he's got a serious headache. That was brutal.

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

For all their many faults, our committee of small big men have kept the score close with their defense and rebounding.

 

[UKortho]

He’s not?

Lol. He is.

 

[fatguy87]

But we tried Hopkins and he wasn't much better lol.

Collins I'd like to see more of.

We tried Hopkins at the 3 with 2 bigs. That's very different than him playing the 4/5 with 3 guards.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

No way Wheeler is coming back. If he doesn't have a concussion he's got a serious headache. That was brutal.

At this point I just hope he's ready for Saturday's game.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Agreed.

 

[Lempface]

For all their many faults, our committee of small big men have kept the score close with their defense and rebounding.

And getting the ball ahead of their defense after those rebounds. We are playing a fantastic game plan just missing everything that isn’t a fast break.

Hopkins is out of his element tonight. He won't see the floor again this game.

Agree. Hope he can play by Saturday at this point.

Defensively Ware is a +
Offensive he's --------

This is who he's been and will likely continue to be. Just don't foul or throw the ball away and that's fine.

Jacob Toppin Show!

 

[Thunder Mash]

He tries hard

I'll be completely honest, and I may be the only one who thinks this, but his "trying hard" is just fouling on rebounds. I don't necessarily see him trying any harder than anyone else.

 

[bbnkat02]

TOPPIN

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Toppin making a case to play more

 

[SophiesDad]

Toppin is a smooth operator. Great athleticism

 

[rick64]

Come on Cats find that shooting eye. If they could just some shots!!!

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Toppin took his Dr J pills.

 

[ukfan041]

Mintz…smh

 

[bbnkat02]

And they’re getting their transition going. Damn this.

 

[Dr. H Lecter]

Toppin is Pepperoni tonight.

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Blow up, then, Jacob.

 

[FirewithFire]

He just shoved Grady out of bounds with two hands. The ref was standing right there.

 

[bbnkat02]

Only way we were winning this was at Rupp.

 

[mhroe1984]

Christ we can't but a 3.

 

[CELTICAT]

Seemingly a questionable call every trip down the floor

 

[BourbonBalz]

We can’t throw it in the ocean from outside.

 

[Seth_C]

Ah yes, the old “push him in the back on a rebound” move. Totally a legal play.

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

We need to finish out this half strong.

 

[GoNoles111]

This ain't Davidson Kellen..cmon now. We got this.

 

[bbnkat02]

He just shoved Grady out of bounds with two hands. The ref was standing right there.

Eff us. Every road game will be a loss at this rate.

 

[LASTUKMGR69]

Toppin saving our asses tonight.

LSU players as dirty as Will Wade

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Don’t think, Grady. Just flow.

 

[ala_kat2]

Grady must feel like D Allen now. Can’t buy one.

 

[ganner918_rivals60369]

He just shoved Grady out of bounds with two hands. The ref was standing right there.

Blatantly obvious. Sickeningly bad call.

 

[SpamburgerHamburger_rivals101482]

I'll be completely honest, and I may be the only one who thinks this, but his "trying hard" is just fouling on rebounds. I don't necessarily see him trying any harder than anyone else.

If you can't see Ware's contribution and role on the team than you're just yelling insults at the sky. He ain't perfect, but definitely deserves his minutes.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Every year anew, I am reminded how much sec refs suck.

 

[UKortho]

Damn. Ty Ty was fouled 3 times on that drive.

 

[fatguy87]

We've had a bit of bad luck with Grady's shooting. Only one of his shots I thought was tough and it was a heave at the end of the shot clock.

 

[bbnkat02]

Refs are picking and choosing when to blow whistle tonight.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

How the hell are we only down 4-5-6

 

[Cbbcrazy2]

I do believe the guys have eaten some bad cajun food.
