This team has practically no reliable scoring threat other than Vescovi. We’ve been saying it for weeks, but if it doesn’t change we aren’t going to do much this season.

Vescovi - 10 points
Zeiglar - 3 points
Phillips - 2 points

You cannot have that.

No threats at all from our bigs.

This is a game that could cost you an SEC championship down the line if we still feel we have that kind of team.

Meh. I don’t think that is necessarily true. We are +3 in team fouls. Kermit probably thinks they aren’t getting the home cooking he wants, but all of the fouls they have were fouls. I just would not say Ole Miss is getting the benefit of the whistle.

It seemed to even out there towards the end. The missed foul on ZZ was egregious and it’s frustrating to see a shooter get killed like that and then we get called for something light the other way. Regardless, officials aren’t taking bad shots, missing FTs, giving up open 3s and not boxing out. We played better defensively the last 8 minutes so I’m hoping that carries over and we find some offense.

I want to say I feel that we do, then we see this and I’m back to “just make the tourney and call it a day”.

We are way better than what we’ve seen today and at other points during the season. We just seem to have an identity problem.

Julian seems to have hit the freshman wall, hopefully he snaps out of it soon.

ZZ hasn’t hit a shot yet either, he’s creating some chances for his teammates though. This is why ON is so frustrating though, he drops 20+ then it’s like he’s not even on the court the next game.

They had 2 well guarded shots go in. Other than that just lapse in defense imo.

They are the worst 3PT shooting team in the conference, and several of those were not awesome shots. Only good shooters are like Murrell and Caldwell

The only bad 3 I saw they took was the big man desperation 3 at the end of the shot clock that they made. They've had great looks from deep.

I remember when people thought Keon Johnson and Jaden Springer weren’t doing enough as 5 star freshman. One of them in the place of Phillips would be a blessing rn

Olivier loves looking like a NBA player against cupcakes then proceeded to **** down his leg against decent comp. Makes 0 sense.

Haven't we started the last 4 or 5 seasons in SEC play on the road?...scheduling doesn't seem the fairest.

For all the hemming and hawing I did about the defense that half, ultimately they did fine and found their groove the last 9 minutes or so. Unfortunately, the offense for this team continues to be a hot mess.

Here comes another fit by Kermit and some more 5 on 8. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t have a good feeling about it

Sure am tired of the broadcast constantly showing Kermit whining. Show the players not the coaches. Would rather see the cheerleaders during dead time than the coaches

Barnes needs to go 3 guard offense fast, the bigs are terrible inside. Plavsic is now a liability and the others can't go to the basket with dribbling like a guard. They need more firepower.

Terrible offense, Phillips has no handles

His upper body strength is not at SEC or really D1 level. This is not going to change this season based on the sampling size so far. Hopefully he focuses on his defense and let the offense come to him. Draft plans at this point shouldn't even be in his conversation.

Wasn't able to give this game much of a glance at work. Are we playing horrible D or is Ole Miss just hitting shots? Probably a mix of both I imagine.

That last possession where we could had 2 for 1. Thought zz would drive & either get fouled
Or make it but he backed it out wondering if the injury is worse than thought .

I didn’t really like the Zeigler covered 3 they made for them considering that guy shoots about 30%, but I think they usually miss more.

I am struggling to recall if we have shot the ball well against any team with a pulse this year yet. Doesn’t feel like it. Maybe Arizona? But, even that was just okay. Not Colorado. Not Kansas (won that with defense). Not Maryland. Maybe USC. You would THINK this team is due for a hot shooting night at some point….
