Missouri is a good team, but if we can keep Perkins under wraps the next half, I like pur chances. Got to come out of the half with our heads on fire and limit the turnovers

Most Perkins has scored in SEC game is 11. He got that in a half against us.

He’s frustrated. Being held on every movement. Freedom of movement does not exist for Lanier. Unfortunately, that’s the way defense is played now. There’s a reason others can get open on back cuts, they are not being held.

Then start holding and force officials to call it or not.

We may be ranked #4 in the country but Mizz is better than us. They are more athletic and can shoot. I’m disappointed with our play tonight, especially the turnovers, rebounds and poor foul shooting.

Doug shows each and every time he works a Tn game. No calls

Everyone who played for us scored in the 1st half...except Dubar.

His contributions...0 pts on 0-2 shooting, 1 reb, 1 TO, and 2 stupid fouls.

There's a reason the staff doesn't trust him.

Yep. We're seeing more and more of why he hasn't gotten major minutes. He's definitely not the player we all thought and hoped he would be. He honestly looks very confused like he's never played. Not a senior

I thought he flashed some potential earlier in the year and thought he should have more PT.... he's proved me very wrong lol

Official will claim it was a tip and no team had possession after a tip thus no over and back. He don’t slap it back he had a controlled tap back. Official had a bad angle or was already running backwards and missed up. Would love to hear explanation. As soon as I turned on game and saw Doug Shows (pretty boy) I knew it would be uphill.

Oh Lord, didn't realize that was him and his crew. I'd like to see what our record is when he is in the floor, seems we rarely win when he is.

Their athleticism has sped us up. Thus turnovers and playing too fast on offense when we are close to the rim. Had 5-6 gimmies at basket that we couldn't make. We can defend them but have to get in their grill and force them to put ball on floor and rely on our defensive rotations. Gainey needs to get going. If he does, Lanier will get some space. We are doing the right things on offense (except ZZ over dribbling) and getting in the paint. Just not finishing.

Why did milicic not play to end the half? Thought he was playing pretty well, but missed part of the first half.

And we hold with the best of them. Barnes mentioned this a week ago, stating Chaz has to fight more to get open. He stated the refs allow grabbing on defense, which also benefits his TN team.

Goodness, the negativity in here is wild!

We stop turning it over & we’ll win this one. Just hold them to 40% or lower this half.

I think that's what drives people wild are the turnovers are silly. It's truly mistakes a team of this caliber in the middle of the year shouldn't make.

That, missed FTs, and Lanier just not being aggressive and only taking 2 shots.
