The Sultan of Swine

Can we bring him in as defensive coordinator?

Both of you guys need to move on. Bama won. It was a good game. The world will (should) continue to spin.

Nah, I have zero respect for a program that goes through what they did to get an ineligible player allowed on the team.

No "good game"

They won. They didn't deserve it. We will go further in the tournament. Skynyrd wasn't even from there.

frick em

We should've brought in some of our G-league former players earlier in the seasons. Would be nice to be healthier/fresher and not have to play walk-ons

I think it will be good to have them back just for depth, but yeah it’s hard to say they should have much of a role other than ~5 minutes per game to let Acuff/Thomas/TB/Billy get a a breather

Looks. Tough to get a 4 seed right now. If we win the ones we’re supposed to, we probably get a 5 seed. But I’d rather have a 6 seed draw personally

Best case would be to knock of Florida and make our way back to the 4 line

Pretty sure I had the same reaction as Brad

What a shift from 2018.. team that won the title had no one on the team taller than 6'8

The problem is I don’t think it’s just an effort problem on defense. We do have mental lapse plays but I don’t think in general we play with low effort, especially last night. Our guards aren’t physically imposing enough to lock down other teams guards. So we try to let one of our bigs roam inside when we’re playing against a 5 out offense.

2 problems come from this… our big is helping contest the shot instead of finding his man, so we give up a lot of 2nd chance points.

The other thing is teams are using the clogged lane against us and creating a wall offs/ screens for cutters.

As good as Acuff and Thomas are offensively, they aren’t great man defenders. Maybe they would be in a year or two, maybe even later this year, but they aren’t right now.

Everything falls from that. Go back and look at how effective Duke was against us in the 2nd half by just having their guards man up on us and deny drives. We could barely even attempt to set an effective on ball screen with how they started containing us


Basically, I wish it was just an effort problem because that’s an easier fix than what we actually have in front of us.

I will say as a huge fan of Meleek that he absolutely can’t go silent offensively on us like that because he’s not providing enough defensively to make up for it

Drinking some kool aid with this post but..

We all remember how much last year's team improved from January to March. I don't think we've hit our peak yet.
