We have lost 5 double digit leads in games this year. We have no one to handle the basketball besides D-Mitch and he really is a 2 guard. They seem to panic in the last 2 minutes. By all rights we should have beat UConn today but once again this young team loses it's composure. The line-up we use most of the time has 1 Sr., 1 So, and 3 freshman! We will lose many more games like this one the rest of the year. Good luck in the NIT Tigers.
They are young, but they are as talented as anyone in the SEC, except for Florida. The close losses came against teams that will more than likely be in the NCAA tourney. The SEC is really weak this year and there should be no excuse for not winning the west and making the NCAA tourney. Anything less will be unacceptable.
I wouldnt call it weak. I mean damn, no team is under 500. Yes lots played cupcakes, but there are real dangerous teams in the west and east.
Too many turnovers and too many missed FT. Take out those factors and we may only have one loss this season. Lack of a true point is hurting also but not so much it can't be overcome by smart play and practice at the line. That is my only gripe with Brady is every year we seem to lack at the stripe.
Brady cant go out there and shoot for 'em. You dont think these guys practice free throws like they are going out of style? This is my argument with lots of Bama fans this year.
No you can't but it just seems he may not be putting an emphasis on it because we seem to lack at the line every season.
Well, thanks to the NCAA selection commitee's focus on RPI rankings, as long as we win SOME of those game vs solid competition (which our schedule is full of), and win 10-12 SEC games, then we should be in the NCAA's again.
