I sat and I watched the first half of this basketball game, and as the saying goes: "you live and die by the jumper." Right now, we're dead!
They're playing street ball, they've quit! I hope he runs them to death tomorrow.
30 foot jumpers hoping and praying they go in. Ridiculous!!!!

Na, that can't be. Somebody on another post said that this game was winnable. Must've been the juice.

73-49 UT with 7:38 to go. Chris Lofton is doing to us what Rush did to Depaul.

The difference was when Tennessee began to play defense and force turnovers it was over. They play the same style we do but with better athletes. The second half may have been respectable if we would have hit the front half of one and ones. They had much better athletes, not better basketball players but better athletes. Quicker, stronger, bigger in the front court forcing 30+ turnovers. P.S. No juice involved.

Other than the last 10 minutes of the 1st half, we played even steven with tennessee. Lofton went crazy and we made plenty of mistakes. Rush should have been looking to pass instead of taking a bunch of bad shots. that hurt us. We need a point guard something terrible, but that aint gonna happen this year.

It was winnable, we let it get away from us. You can't take 40 foot jump shots and not get back on defense. We gave up to many easy baskets and open jump shots. Rush is a good player, but he caused harm to the team last night with those shots. He just put us in bad positioning to defend. When those shots bounced long off the rim, TN took off running with all our guys being out of position to defend. The play in the second half should have been the play in the first half. I got the impression we were to look for threes first, if it's not there, go inside.

Gator, You have a thread saying "Embarrassing!" to describe a road loss to the #12 team in the country, yet you can defend Fobbs??
The guys played hard. They lost to a superior team. Use this as a learning lesson and move on to the next game.

What does Fobbs have to do with this? It's the game dude, the game and how it's played. We played poorly to the point it was embarrassing. They played hard, but not SMART!
I hope I clarified myself.

Kinda, sorta
Getting beat on the road to a superior team is not what I consider Embarrassing. There are other things going on in Greensboro (0-22) that I would say are embarrassing.
