UT vs. Belmont Game Thread

It seemed like last year we had issues with free throws

So if we would have made free-throws we would have blown them away?? There wasn't a lack of effort or execution on offense and defense?

No. I never said that... But it would have been more than a 2 point win.

That's one thing that has improved this season at least, especially with Chism and the point guard position... up until today.

How much better would we be had Lofton redshirted last year?

Oh man we would be deadly!!

Could be that or just growing pains with a bunch of young/inexperienced players being relied on to produce. This season is looking more and more like the '06/'07 season with every passing game.

I'm sure that is a part of it. We are young, but very talented. They will grow up since they are being thrown in the fire.

We should beat our next opponent, then travel to Allen Fieldhouse to play Kansas, how good is Kansas this year? I would love to venture to that game, to say I saw a game in Allen Fieldhouse.

They are experiencing growing pains as well. They lost to a UMass team that isn't very good at all. But they did just beat Temple. We will need to step up and play smart in that one. And that still might not be enough.

Two kids, and finances prevent me from going

I'm sure a few posters from this board will be there.

Im in agreement. I can't believe Bruce hasn't come up with more set plays to run against zone in the halfcourt, we're gonna see it every game the rest of the year. Defense will get better i think, product of a young team of freshman. And Belmont lost to Duke by 1 pt. on the last shot of the game last year, not 4. They are a team of well coached seniors.

We don't play the same, intense way that Pearl's teams are known for.
