Yep, Tuesdays game against Miss State is crucial if we hope to get a bye in the SEC tourney.
It was a great, even though you can be thrilled, can't expect the games like Edwards had tonight. Can he be a big cog going forward...mist certainly. If he does and Z can get 20+ minutes of quality time , we could be hard to handle. Time will tell.
Defense bit us. We got overconfident and let LSU steal that one. Hopefully that was the one that pissed these boys off to finish strong.
They are going to want revenge for losing the first meeting. It will probably be some kind white or black out game for the fans...we just have execute and play smart. Limit turnovers and try to play honest defense and hit the boards. Gonna be a tough game to win but we have got to find a way..somehow.
UK easily scored 90 in the first game against Miss St...why couldn't they do that again?
Whole list of games below we shouldn’t have lost too this year. To be honest with the team we have seen against Auburn and Alabama they should be undefeated to this point!!!
Not your best work there. Loldoesn't make sense, since Couch still bumps his ass when he hops...
doesn't make
The home loses hurt the most. None should have happened.
Not enough...Ugo and Wagner combined for 2 points in 53 combined minutes...
The easiest money in the world is betting the team that upsets UK to lose the next game.
Yeah, this is probably very accurate. I was watching that LSU-Miss St game and noticed 2 specific things...
Yep, at some point you must validate your best wins with some against teams that might not excite you too much. Every game is now a must win scenario...no room for another loss. Let's be like the 1998 team and not lose again, shall we?
My only concern is does the defense regress when Mitchell comes back and Thiero looses the bulk of the minutes at the 4. And now that we saw Edwards play a lot at the 4 splitting time w Thiero and how much more comfortable he looks attacking against an opposing 4 instead of a 3 that can match his athleticism….i really hope we don’t start going way more 2 guard lineups as a result of Mitchell being back
Completely agree. I was irritated at one point tonight watching, not because I was disappointed in our intensity and play in this game, but because I want to see this same intensity every time out. This team plays best when they think everyone expects them to lose, including the fanbase. The problem for these guys has come when they're expected to win.
This is a an on point post…tourney officials come from the general NCAA pool as opposed to SEC officials. Watch enough countrywide ball and the lack of consistency, continuity, and fairness amongst SEC officials vs Div I as a whole is glaring. There are other bad crews outside of the SEC, but not nearly with the same level of density as within the SEC. The NCAA should move to general officiating pools instead of conference based officiating pools.
Sure, I enjoyed it thoroughly. I'm still enjoying it. I also thoroughly enjoyed that beat down of Auburn last Saturday. But my joy is lost when we turn around and lose at LSU. The same thing will happen again if we lose to Miss St on Tuesday. It wouldn't be a big deal if we had some margin for error, but it's all gone now. Actually, the loss to Florida and then LSU is what has killed us- 2 games we should have won- just like Miss St.
