re: Observations from tonight’s game

I hate to say it because I've been optimistic this whole preseason, but this team is freakin' terrible.

KJ Williams is legit, and he'll play a good while in the NBA, but everybody else is basically a scrub. Even Miller, who can't help himself and hurries the shite out of every shot (and every shot he hurries, he misses).

Hill is not an SEC point guard. He's hideous on defense.

In fact, this team is hideous on defense. You don't really notice it until the opponent realizes all they have to do is penetrate, because we don't have a single guy on this team other than Wilkinson who appears capable of stopping the ball.

And Wilkinson might as well not even be on the team because he never leaves the bench anymore. I don't know what McMahon is thinking with that decision; I get that Wilkinson does zero on offense, but when they drive past every other guy on your team for easy basket after easy basket, maybe his defense starts to have value.

And the bricklaying guards? Jesus. Not to mention we don't have anybody who can go to the basket without charging.

We're terrible at taking care of the ball, and most of what we've played is scrub teams.

I really want to believe there's a light at the end of this tunnel and they'll come together and make a run through the league. But after tonight I don't believe it. I've seen too many games with the same gaping holes and I'm dreading what the SEC is going to do to these guys.

Oh, well. It's seven weeks until baseball season and THOSE SOB's will wreck the opposition in a violent and humiliating way.
