Maybe it was 34-15... Thats ridiculous

 

[volfan__18]

No you would not.

wym i wouldn’t. SEC officials are sec officials. they all suck home or away

 

[NoBackBoard]

Our crunch time decision making is bad. Hesitant, disorganized. We could win these games if we improve upon that area of our game. Coach em up!

 

[djtee]

not true. they beat us at the free throw line.

Hmm how about defending Pitts ?

 

[th2421]

Impossible to tell given they never had to run any offense or hit a shot.

I was not really impressed with them all that much. They are about as good as we are. They sure as hell aren't top ten.

That's the story of this year, though - everyone says, oh, they're not a top 10 team, they're not a #1 team, up until there are no teams left. I think this very weak senior class (nationally), along with everyone playing through a pandemic, is contributing to a more wide-open race - and less consistency among top teams - than what we're used to.

Watch more volleyball!

Every time I see Cameron Inouye in black and white I know we’re probably screwed.

both teams hit 5 threes. they beat us at the foul line.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

They made like 23 FT, to our 11. SEC best league, worst refs.

we hit 5 threes, and they hit 5 threes. Threes isn’t why we lost this game.

 

[ttharp]

The refs were pathetic, yes.

However, we absolutely HAVE to find a way to get better at the PG position. To many turnovers and NO offensive production.

 

[Bigkat]

Play lazy and sloppy. Don’t have that killer instinct at all. I guess that’s today’s athletes

 

[Orange_Mamba]

We always collapse in the 4th. Too much dribbling, too much one on one, too many turnovers in crucial moments.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Like 30 to 15 in free throws I think

34-15 disgraceful.

 

[Volfan2012]

1 of 11 from the point guard position. 15 total turnovers. 34 fouls shots for them. You can't win with those stats. Burrell, Davis, and Key played excellent today. We need a point guard for this team. We could go a long way in a tournament with a point guard to run the team.

Horston- more fouls than points
Horston- more turnovers than points

I completely disagree. Davis and Burrell stepped up big and played with confidence. TAMU hit big shots (smart subbing by Gary Blair to bring Pitts in at the times he did) and the free throw disparity speaks for itself.

 

[PG1]

Seems like the UConn, KY, and A&M losses were all about not finishing.

This team is better than last year, but still way too many stupid mistakes.

Or conditioning

 

[sisaq]

If TN is a professional club I immediately trade Horston.

All about point guard play no one to run the team. No one that can score from that position. Were basically playing 4 on 5.

 

[I4Vols]

Hard to win when
- you have 15 TO's vs 7 for your opponent
- your point guard goes 1 for 10 and your best player 1 for 7 on three's
- your opponent shoots 34 free throws vs 15

Yet we checked good boxes on rebounding, shooting % (other than pt guard), and we played nice defense for a good part of the game

 

[UT Challenger]

Better yet A&M beat TN with the 3 ball nothing in the paint.

And if it didn't go in refs would call a foul and give them 3 more chances

Ha!!!!!!!

She is really not helping but neither is Walker. We don't have anyone at that position and is where we need a recruit that was top notch the worst.
