No. He can’t guard anyone. It would be worse than Oscar playing D
And he is a very bad rebounder, makes Bradshaw look like AD on the boards
Real reason we lost, same as 7 of the 8 other losses

The SEC has turned basketball into indoor football. Tubby would have loved coaching this style. Cal simply doesn’t bring in that type of players.
The (hopeful) relief is that the NCAA-T is not played like this. The biggest concern is that we get some ref that doesn’t like Cal or UK (there are a lot of them, either not liking him or how BBN treated the cheater Higgins) and get a blatantly 2-handed called game. In a fairly called game, where they aren’t letting teams mug each other, I still like our chances vs ANY Team!

Stealing $$ at this point.
There went the momentum heading into next week.
No one can complain about our seeding going forward.
Mitchell is a fifth year Senior and he was getting killed.
Freshman MKG would have taken grad student Mitchell to the woodshed.
Heck, Freshman PJ Washington would have too.
Really I think Perry Stevenson was tougher as a Freshman than Mitchell is now.
The 9 million dollar a year man strikes again! Laughing all the way to the Bank!
I guess the stronger more physical guys don’t have enough stars by their name. Really, we need juniors and seniors who have matured and have gotten stronger to really have the success that’s expected. Of course, that’s almost an impossibility with Cal.
Our guys would be out 3 games if they hit themselves that hard.
The teams had the attitude of their coaches. To one, "This tourney does not matter", and to the other it mattered a lot. The play of each team on the court was reflective of that.
Strength and maturity are factors but the experience is the difference maker. They drive and they get free throws, we drive and get what we get. They drive and seek contact, we drive and avoid contact, its experience. They know how to bump, shove, grab and all the little tricks to gain an advantage.
It’s not the experience, it’s the coaching. A&M has been coached to be physical. Our guys haven’t. Look at last year’s team, they were a bunch of Seniors and they were just as bad.
