Just another piss poor first half performance. Not what you want to see in March.

 

[Redheads]

I didn't say students, or move them. Said it sounds dead, and it is.

As a season ticket holder, I admit it does get quiet sometimes. It’s hard to get excited when you go through these 5-6 minute scoring droughts. Do you really think you would be up screaming?

 

[orangemadam]

10 or 9 pt lead down to 1. Same game plan for Ole Miss Game. Why are they letting them hang around.

As if we have a choice

 

[G0V0LS33]

We look lost on defense today. This team makes you wanna drink. Nice Phillips

 

[GBO18]

Nice Cade. Make the free throw.

 

[minorvol]

Gainey looks like he wants to win.

 

[Voljayton]

Man I love that lob play.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Nice Passs Gainey! God flush by Phillips....we needed that.
We can't let teams hang around like this come tournament time.

I’m sure there are emotions about seniors playing in their final home game, but a senior SHOULD mean experienced and able to focus.
I hope Barnes rips them a new one and he might want to look in the mirror during halftime.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Thought 1st half would be ugly, lots of emotions.

You sure? You were pretty confident after the Ole Miss game that I was being extremely unrealistic about saying this game would be a tough one. Now you’re saying you expected this?

 

[volmoon]

Play some defense.
Our offense seems scared of its shadow.

 

[hUTch2002]

See, I don’t get it. Why the hell are we shooting so many 3s when we get that about any time we want? It’s not logical.

 

[hUTch2002]

dupe

 

[zeppelin128]

Nice way to end the half, at least.

 

[germantown902]

Great play call to end the half. Well executed.

 

[FlVols]

Barnes better chew some A.. at the half!!

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Haha when the comments get to your level of negativity then I will need an intervention

Says the guy with a ninja turtle avatar

 

[C-south]

They’re doing the same thing over and over and yet again we’re not adjusting. I don’t get what has suddenly happened to our defense.

Because defense is only good when the other team misses. It’s not like we’re creating turnovers and blocking shots and just making life miserable for the other team. They’ve even missed a ton of wide open shots.

 

[ashleyyy]

we gotta find an offensive spark. not just today, but going forward in the Barnes era.

 

[Delmar]

Well that’s about as bad a performance as one can have against a piss poor team. Really bad effort. I’m guessing Rick will have one of those halftime discussions like they had a few games ago. Got a double bye hanging in the balance here.

 

[Caz]

See, I don’t get it. Why the hell are we shooting so many 3s when we get that about any time we want? It’s not logical.

We have zero inside game

How many years has this been an issue?

They have. These last 2 halves of basketball have been terrible defensively.

 

[adam.vol]

TN men (as a whole) look tired and like they aren’t having fun. I won’t say anything else negative about the first half. It just looks like they would rather be somewhere else today.
