We beat the #4 ranked team in the nation on their home court. Without Lamont Butler. We will be alright.

And then proceeded that by losing to our former coach, and a meh ole miss team.

It was the luckiest win of the season. I'm happy as hell to have gotten it. I doubt any other team we play for the next 10 years will go 11-45 from 3.

Our wins, when healthy, make me believe we are better than these last two games. People's emotions make them slaves to the present and overreaction. We'll be just fine.

The crybabies don't want to here anything positive.

Without Butler, we are not anywhere near a top 25 team. It's shocking that we won in Knoxville without him. Carr is still not healthy either, as he was a liability on the court against Ole Miss. Give me 9-9 in the SEC, and get those two healthy, and I'll take our chances in the post-season.

Let's fact it, that win was fool's gold. If UT had hit 25% of their threes, they beat us easily. Sometimes the ball just doesn't drop. Thankfully, it didn't for them, and I'll gladly take the win. But we got lucky.

And we also got unlucky with how Arkansas shot. That’s hoops, man.

That's right, and that was my point.

 

[YardCat]

I’m saying that not every single team is going to shoot lights out against us every night. What are the odds? Once teams make 3’s that just opens the lanes and we are playing chase. We just need some luck and defensive rebounds.

The Arkansas loss was and is the shocker. I think many fans, including me, were waiting all season to enjoy the anticipated beat down and proof that Pope for Cal was the greatest logical occurrence. That loss was so bad in a psychological way that the loss to Ole Miss then held more impact. Losing in an away game otherwise might not have caused so much concern. I think we will be decent but have more away losses.

Very well put. I’ll admit I’ve had to talk myself down off the ledge a little bit after the last couple of games. I will say I do think I’m at the point where I wish moving forward he would keep a defensive minded assistant on staff.

Yeah I think you’re spot on, the Arkansas game and all the media coverage on it has messed with people, I know it has me.

You’re a grown ass adult and these are the type of comebacks you come up with.
