Hope we can have the success in the portal that we, Bama, others had last year.Gotta trim some fat too… unfortunately Dillione has not showed out wouldn’t be shocked to see him portal. Hopefully Boswell coming in can be as advertised. Outside of ZZ and Aidoo, Awaka, Gainey nobody has much experience. No scorer on the roster if ZZ isn’t on…. Need to portal shop for some offense badly…
Bologna. Thats exactly why we lost Jack. Sure, if we made a few more baskets we would've won in spite of the refs, but that shouldn't be needed.You have to make plays, you just do. And we didnt. There isnt anything you can do when you dont execute. That isnt a Rick Barnes thing. Or a Bruce Pearl thing.
The refs called a horrible game, inexcusable. But that isnt why we lost.
We didnt make enough plays man. Plain and simple. Zebras called a horrible game. Horrible. But we still hve to make shots.Bologna. Thats exactly why we lost Jack. Sure, if we made a few more baskets we would've won in spite of the refs, but that shouldn't be needed.
If the game was evenly called 60/40 in their favor, we would've won. It was at least 75/25 in their favor and it wasn't because we played poorly. It's because they allow one of their players to do whatever he wants. Put the same force field around one of our big men and we win by 20pts.
I know who we have coming back and I’m certainly worried about that but I don’t follow basketball recruiting at all, so what does our incoming class look like? And putting DK aside, how does Barnes typically do with the portal?Eh they have a roster and starting lineup composed of almost all seniors. They used the portal to compete this year. They were still ranked preseason. Did they play or finish the season better than expected, sure, but I would call what they did a rebuild.
And we found Knecht last year so I’ll hope we can find another. If not, and if our young guards don’t come out and surprise us with great performance, next year “could be a long one.”
This isn't really true. They were preseason 4th in the conference. They were expected to be tough.This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for Bama. They brought in a huge portal class and put together a top team. Turned it into a F4 run.
Tennessee can do that this offseason. No, you can't get a Dalton Knecht. Nobody will. But you can get a couple of guys like Love, Sears, Sheirman, etc and might be better set for success and have another great season.
Yep…Hope we can have the success in the portal that we, Bama, others had last year.
The absolute #1 reason we lost is all the non-calls on Edey. That is a fact. I'd put #2 on ZZ being ice cold shooting the ball, but you can't escape #1. FFS. all the non-calls on Edey could easily be reasons 1-4.We didnt make enough plays man. Plain and simple. Zebras called a horrible game. Horrible. But we still hve to make shots.
Well, maybe so. But, we got beat at our own game. And we got frustrated. Truth is you have to step up and hit shots. Looked discombobulatatarated and cornfuzzled on defense amso.The absolute #1 reason we lost is all the non-calls on Edey. That is a fact.

Missed a ton of shots. We knew we had to overcome that and we didn't.Well, maybe so. But, we got beat at our own game. And we got frustrated. Truth is you have to step up and hit shots. Looked discombobulatatarated and cornfuzzled on defense amso.
