Absolutely we can, that's the frustrating part, but the part that keeps me hopeful.

Good write up.
I went to the game, my first this year. Had great seats. My impressions:
I have not been overly impressed by CJJ overall since his been here, but I have to credit him, I thought he made some great ht adjustments and the team responded second half. The first four minutes after halftime they came out on a mission.
There was something obviously up with Ben so the stories of being sick make sense. I thought he was great when he was focused. One caveat.
Ben let the refs get in his head, and it was almost like it started before the game. He was staring down the refs and complaining on every single play from tip til the end. It was odd to watch. Even realizing that the refs sucked donkey dicks, I was like dude they aren't calling it, move on and adjust your game. I chalk it up to being 19. But it's only gonna get worse. Expect no favors against A&M.
Otherwise it was a night to remember. I thought the crowd was really unto it at the right times. Kinda felt more like an NBA game fan wise. But I guess that's expected on a rainy sat. Night. Team win. Good job Johnny.

Hornsby has a slightly pulled groin. He's day to day with no pornhub

Does he really have a slightly pulled groin?

I'll say this, this is something he's done basically all his life. He plays like an NBA player. High school he did it, college he's done it. Some refs will call it more lenient for him, some won't. What you have to understand though, he fouled out essentially 2 players (Even though one didn't foul out he only played 8 minutes because he was virtually worthless), so he was extremely effective in getting fouls. I think Ben was frustrated because they would call off the ball fouls when we weren't in the bonus, but when he drove or we were in the bonus they wouldn't call it.

You're definitely right that Ben shouldn't let the refs get in his head, but you have to realize his perspective. He takes lots of 'extra' shots from players. He probably gets tired of it so all his life he's learned to talk to the refs. Then he has no outside shooting game so a HUGE part of his game is getting to the line. He just doesn't realize that SEC officials are a damn joke

I agree and was a bit disappointed in that. He continued that after the game saying he he poorly but he also "wasn't getting the calls." I don't think that helps him or the team. He gets some calls too so I think he needs to be more diplomatic. Hopefully he will.
