Look slow on defense. Really just need to go back playing inside out thru Pons and Fulkerson. Our guards are not ready to be the focal point.

Exactly, what happened to playing through the high post?

This is the kind of stuff that has driven many of us crazy the past 3-4 years; teams seem to suddenly get lights out against us, and it happens a game we suddenly can't throw it in the ocean.

Arkansas doing what they learned from Alabama. Spread the floor to limit our defensive strength; we don’t score well enough to keep up if we don’t keep the score in the 50s or low 60s.

Barnes needs to develop Keon into more of a jordan bone type PG. fast and can flip the court in a blink. We have ballers all over the court but our transition game doesn't exist. Its all half court, look down low, drive with 5 seconds left on the shot clock.

I agree with one of the commentators at half time. It's like our shots all look difficult and I thought that last game too. I also wonder when the hell are our opponents going to quit getting friendlier rims than we do on our home court. I mean damn, we can't buy a freaking shot to fall to get to 2 buckets in a row after stopping them.

I'm pretty upset at how the team has responded after the Alabama game.

I fully expected them to come in playing with some fire and to revert back to their scrappy, lockdown defense and instead the body language and defense has been lacking. They look shell-shocked right now on defense, and the offense has no fluidity.

Said after the Bama game that they laid out the blueprint to beat us and that’s proving accurate. Spread us out defense and pack the paint make us shoot jump shots on offense. Bad part is Arkansas doesn’t look as good as Bama to me.

And they are missing one of their bast inside players. This is so disappointing

Not every team we play will shoot like early '90's Duke every game. Just chill.

Oh I’m chill. But a lot of good teams we will face in the tournament can shoot 3s and it’s a glaring weakness of this otherwise good team. If you don’t think more teams that have the guns will expose us then you’re wrong. Arkansas is following the exact game plan that Bama used against us Saturday.

Yeah we can’t even hit layups and shots right under the basket. We think we have a chance to win a championship? Cmon :)

I mean, I’d get it if we weren’t still on these guys with hands in face. Arkansas seems to initiate contact when driving a lot, both guys went into Pons on those layups.

We’re not shooting good from 3 & are really doing a bad job rebounding.

They are wide open bc guards help on everything

Yep. We have always over helped on defense. Barnes always hopes the 3s are not falling. Running at shooters late does not bother players these days.
