We do have depth. Did you see what Bama was putting on the floor in the front court? Epps and Robinson are good enough to match up with them. Even Bridgewater, while short, would have held his own against their bigs.

Back court depth- don't like Quarterman at point? You've got Gray, a quick and speedy guy, and last year's competent starter, Patterson. At 2 guard you have Blakeney backing up Hornsby, and his athleticism should, in theory, be enough to make up for an off-night shooting.

Not really. At least not with Jones as our coach. He gets the least out of guys.

Robinson isn't an SEC player, really. My feelings on Epps are scattered. Dude has some skills, clearly. He can hit the outside shot, he has length, has a little game offensively. Obviously, he's a liability for us defensively, simply because when he's in the game we're going to ask him to defend in the post. Bottom line: under Jones, Epps is pretty wasted. When he's in the game, it means bad things.

As for the guards off the bench, I don't know what happened to make it so where Patterson's minutes are so cut. But I think that's affected his confidence. Gray is Gray. He's been better this year, no question. But he still doesn't give you very much for the most part, if we're being honest.

Then there's TQ. Super talented player, obviously. But when he's bad (which he almost always is), we legitimately have 4 players. I don't care if Simmons is LeBron James, it's hard to win when you don't have a lot of players that can help you.
