We look flat

We're playing tired / flat basketball. Very little intensity out there.

We need to get in the locker room down 5 or so and regroup. Keep it in check here.

The recruits coming in better be instant difference makers, otherwise this team will be on the bubble next year. Yeah, they'll get better, but so will the rest of the league.

They’re just horribly inconsistent.

Pick yourself up fellows.

This is nothing new.

This game doesn’t matter. No way we get an at-large bid with our SOS and having somehow lost to the two worst teams (by far) in the league. Gotta won the SECT....

Got to play with energy in the 2nd half

We played poor and we're still in this. I honestly don't know that anyone has played well. Our guards aren't getting to the rim. And our bigs disappear.

If we come out and play in the second half, we can win this one. But our effort has to show up. We're lucky to be down 5.

I think the

UT game took a lot out of them.

They were riding high with all this talk of the NCAA tourney, then it all came crashing down.

Combine that with playing on the road against a young, talented team fighting for respect, and you've got a tough match.

Having said that, we're only down a couple of possessions.

That’s not true at all. Some teams my get better, but some teams will step back for sure

When we play defense, we win. We still are not playing defense well.

The refs need to grow some balls. After LSU's coach got pissed, they have swallowed their whistles. There were two drives by Nick where he should have had free throws. It's not completely one-sided and we have not played good Defense, but they have to protect our guys going to the basket or someone is going to get hurt.

If Howland and Cohen were smart, they would hire UT's Strength and Conditioning coach .... jumping rope only gets you so far..

This team is so frustrating to watch. There are at least 6 players that could put up 20+ on any given night, but for whatever reason, we rarely ever can seem to get more than a couple guys going at once. The chemistry is just not there

Also, I don’t know what it is, but they have a knack for going on these 5-8 minute lapses every game where we can’t score, we stop boxing out, and we get lazy on defense.

I hope that next year is the year, but our lack of fundamental post play is still killing us, and our guard play is just not good enough to overcome it against the better teams or on the road. There is no consistency, and I can only hope that it will come with another year of experience

Name these six players that can go for 20+

every time we don't close by getting a rebound on defense the other team hits a 3. It's been going like that all season and it's so damn frustrating

At the 10-min mark of the 2nd half, LSU had.... wait for it, 4 total team fouls in the entire game. Hilarious

I hadn’t seen many missed calls on us.

You don’t get many callus shooting contested jump shots and not playing hard. That’s what is hilarious.

We look like we don’t give a damn right now.

Last week: okay, let's play our way in to the big dance!
This week: will our opening NIT game even be at home?

There have been a couple but not anything close to number we have been called for.

And the team has

this NIT mindset in their head.

Howland's done a poor job motivating the team, today.

ANOTHER turnover... It's like we lost our team somewhere in the past two weeks.

Texas took one of our spots with an OT win over WV.

Both spoons, Carter, Holman, Peters, and Ado. Most have done it multiple games this year, but it always seems to be one or two guys playing well while the others go into a shell. Good play is infectious for most teams, but that rarely seems to be the case for ours

We probably aren’t going to score 60 points against one of the worst defenses in the league. That’s terrible
