Why do we have so many apologists in here? Ohhh this team isn’t quite the cupcake? Look what Kentucky is doing to Louisville right now, is Fran Tarkenton St better than Louisville? Quit apologizing for our favorite teams crap performance. They should be a cupcake, weren’t baking them.

Up 14 at the half. Favored by 22.5 so about what we should expect.

Actually, Tarleton St could probably beat Louisville.

My goodness, do you guys not just enjoy watching basketball? Why does every game have to be a comparison to every other team.

For me at least, there are offensive problems that aren't getting better. SEC road games are going to be hard to win. We're not lighting it up in a home game against a non conference team

It’s not been a perfect performance, but I’m not really sure what you expected. We’re on pace to beat them by 30 which would comfortably cover the spread. If you expected us to be up 30 by halftime, then perhaps you should re-evaluate your expectations. Being up 30 at halftime typically only happens if you’re playing a team of players who can’t tie their shoes.

I get what you’re saying I said this while up 8 and dissatisfied. I’m happy up 14, but I feel we could do much more than screw around with a team like this. Sorry I expect us to beat the snot out of teams like this at home.

We’re shooting over 50% from the floor. We had some bad turnovers early, but aside from the early turnovers, the numbers would suggest we’ve had a pretty good half offensively.

The objective isn’t to beat up on these teams as much as possible. It’s also not to be entertaining. It’s to win the game and also to work on getting better to be in better position to win future games. UT wouldn’t have gone with 10 players if they were simply trying to win by the biggest margin possible.
