What do 4 of our 5 losses have in common?

[gatorhater_35]

Meeks career high 54
Collins career high 26
Chrismas career high 35
Bouldin career high 26

Think we might wanna guard?

Thank God Davidson isn't on our schedule. I'd hate to think of how much Steph Curry would drop on us. We can't defend anyone who is smart off the dribble, uses screens well, and can shoot. We should get Jajuan to come back so the guys can practice against a confident, lights-out shooter.

Ummm...is pretty simple. All those players have one thing in common. They are guards. Our perimeter defense is down right atrocious. Bottom line. We have no guards that are willing to defend.

I think that would be the most accurate part of your statement, and you could have just left off the rest of the sentence.

It isn't brain surgery or rocket science. Communication is terrible on this team. It shows in the defense and the half court offense. I realize we need some guard play, but a team must be coached to communicate.

The fact that Meeks had open looks in the second half is simply disturbing.

Our guys are lazy off the ball screens or just sissy's. I'm thinking maybe a combination of both.

The fact we could not put someone on him the second half is a joke...Do we not have anyone on the team that could have at least faced him up until they fouled out...It looked like Bruce was afraid to switch it up and make a change on defense...I do not get it

After watching the WF/NC and OK/TX games, how depressing it was to watch the Vols play KY.

Lazy souless defense, slow reaction in transition and turnovers, no guts on the boards?

As many defenses UT played against that were designed to stop Lofton, you would think playing a defense to stop a no.2 shooting guard would be a no brainer.
