As I said, this team is mentally weak in crunch time.

It's amazing how badly this team falls apart when the chips are down. They nearly let Pitt back in the game, lost on big runs at the end in the Oakland and Indy game, now totally collapsing with a late lead. I don't know if it's a lack of leadership or just balls, but something needs to change in that department or we're losing 10+ games this year, easy.

pearl and mcbee should see zero playing time.....kenny saw zero action tonight which is complete B.S. when steven pearl is getting 11 minutes a game.

We have the talent to beat almost anyone on any given night. We also have enough inexperience to negate the talent on any given night. It's pretty simple. We'll have a few more bad losses but we'll also pull off a few more huge wins. Come tournament time, we will have played enough games to be in position to win every game. Gonna be a long and tempestuous season on all fronts. Should be both exhilarating and exasperating to watch. A Tale of Two Teams....

Tennessee starts two seniors, a redshirt junior, and a junior. The inexperience card is a copout.

McBee has to stop handchecking, I think he is actually playing fine on the offensive end. The call on the jump ball was a horrible call at the end of the game, that probably would have changed the result of the game.

We lost the game because of free throw shooting:
12/13 UNC-C
2/7 UT

It's inexcusable that we lost to that team, it goes both on the coaches and the players. Pearl should have lit a fire under their a*& instead of looking calm and collective the entire game. This loss is infuriating.

I think we lost 3 starters from last year's team. I'm also pretty sure we play 3 freshman, 2 transfers and a back-up point guard from last year's team. I'm probably wrong. You're the expert.

1. Who's the third freshman that played tonight?
2. One of those transfers has played over 100 games of Division I basketball.
3. If you can't get a JUCO guy up so speed by his second year, you should probably quit recruiting them.

I stated "inexperienced enough" in my original comment. I stand by everything I typed.

I'm going to say it and if I'm wrong fine. No team with Scotty Hopson as its leader and go to man is going to be a consistent team. You simply can't depend on the undependable
