I thought this season with Ben Simmons would be exciting to watch.

CJJ has sucked the fun out of the game and is probably making BS regret his decision to come here. This team is SO inept at times, I can't watch.

We will be watching the tourney at home.

just terrible. On a nationally TV game vs reputable Power 5 school and they show glimpses of being a good team but can't sustain anything.

Dale Brown & Collis Temple Jr. got their man Johnny, and he has failed miserably...Caldwell seemed like a good hire but obviously it wasn't...Both need to be let go.

Basketball season is officially over and the SEC play hasn't even started. But hey, its basketball. Who cares.

I find it helps if you close your eyes and stick your fingers in your ears every time the other team gets the ball.

This...

Johnny may be a great recruiter, but can't coach his way out of a wet paper bag.

We all would have lost money on this bet before the season started!

There is so much blame to go around with this team.

It starts first and foremost with CJJ. He just has no fire, and our team plays like that. I'm ready to throw 2 million at Archie Miller

I love Simmons, and I've defended him to the end...but last night was truly pathetic. He got 2 fouls on their best player in a span of 2 minutes in the first half...then he literally stopped driving. With 4 minutes left in the 1st half, Ben had 0 shots and was 2/4 from the line. That is simply unacceptable. It's not like he didn't touch the ball...he just passed it to other people. The last 3 minutes when we were down by 8, he started to attack and got 3 straight fouls on Thomas and Thomas fouled out. I was so...so...so disappointed with him. People say he is regretting his decision, but why? I truly do not think he cares about winning or losing. He's a great kid, even keeled, sees the bigger picture in life...but basketball isn't everything to him. That's good as a person, terrible when he's your superstar.

He should try out for the football team. Be an awesome pass-catching tightend!

I realize Simmons is a once-in-a-lifetime phenom, but it's really beginning to look like the program would have been better off had he never signed with LSU and Martin and Mickey had stayed for another year.

Me too Skillet and instead it has been an exercise in extreme frustration.

Lots of ball left to play and yeah, we could catch fire and win the SEC tourney or something, but to mere there just seems to be a lack of accountability and when that is present it's hard to be hopeful that we can string together enough consecutive wins to achieve something like that.
