1. To anyone saying we're better without Scotty ala Tyler Smith last year. We win this game by ten points if he's here tonight at 100% health.
2. Tonight we saw why Tobias should stay for another year. Not only did he miss two clutch free throws, he let the referees get into his head. His reactions were exactly like you'd expect a freshman to have, but far from the calm demeanor we are used to.
3. Our player best suited for the next level at this point is Cameron Tatum. He was asked to step up for two games, and he did exactly as he was supposed to do. When your 3rd leading scorer can turn a switch and drop 18 against the best team in your conference, you have someone ready to contribute anywhere.
4. Skylar McBee has to learn to stop playing like he's the best player on the floor because he hits 2/5 three pointers. He's there to shoot and hit. Because you hit 2 doesn't mean jack 5 more (especially if you miss them all).
5. We looked like the Bruce pearl teams of old, playing good in bounds defense and turning the ball over consistently.
6. The refs tonight we're perhaps the 2nd worst I've seen in a while (all around). At this point I would consider a straight up trade with C-USA and think we'd barely lose anything.
7. We're going to miss Pearl next year. As limited as he is on offense, he does things that just defy the laws of basketball, he makes big plays happen out of nothing. If they are good or bad for the team is entirely up to luck.
8. Florida should beat Kentucky tonight, I hope they do as it gives us a solid shot to be a #2 seed at the least in the east.
9. We should lose our next two games and possibly win 4 more after that. Bama should win 5 of their next 6. They are a very good, athletic and defensive style team. If I'm any top ten team except for pitt, I wouldn't want to play a team like bama in the first round, because win or lose they will knock you around.
10. Tony Mitchell is proof that it's who finishes a game and not who starts it, although I would wager he starts in his next game after lighting us up tonight.
Finally, This was Tony Jones' audition for a head coaching job anywhere else basically. He had it rough early on, losing two close games, then hit stride. Tonight was his final exam, and when it came down to it, he just couldn't get it done. He learned nothing from his 8 game stint as a head coach for the reason that his result in his first game was nearly identical in every way to his last. Bad last second plays cause a close loss we should have won.
