Boogs v Bama

Petty is definitely a stud. Surprised that he's a sub 60% free throw shooter. Herb Jones is also super talented. Gave AU fits all night on defense.
Part of the loss was we played the worst game we've played all season, and the other part was they played out of their minds trying to beat the best team in the SEC. We have the target on our backs, now. We've got to learn to rise above everyone's best effort from here on out.
Dude, you're on @gary7 or whatever his name is retard level. Just a fvcking moron!
Let’s just be real. This loss is on that rotten scoundrel @au4life_rz tainting the mojo of the GREG.
IMHO, we lost this game primarily due to us having an off night with our FT shooting. We also missed a lot of 2 point shots that we should have made, and which we normally make as well.
Live, learn, grow, and keep it moving forward.

I hate we lost especially with Sexton out. But this is AUbsolutley glorious.
Yes, I’m serious. Sorry I critique Bryce. He is an elite set shooter, but everything else he does on offense frustrates me. Him and Heron frustrate me the most every game. Make dumb mistakes and turn the ball over way too much.
He singlehandedly kept us in the game in the first half. You act like he’s supposed to be fuggin Reggie Miller or something
This is a message board to discuss and critique. I don’t have to justify my observations, because he’s the only one that scored points tonight. I know he’s not Reggie miller, he will never even sniff the Nba along with Heron. At least Heron can actually dribble.
all it takes is a loss after 14 straight and an unexpected 4-0 start in SEC play to have this place start looking like TBB when it talks hoops.
It's basketball people. You lose some questionable games unless you are prime UK or Duke and loaded with future NBA talent. You lose road games and play like crap sometimes. You typically lose when the other team is more desperate and at their place.
If we fall to UGA we can start to wonder if we have issues. We've looked tired for 3 straight games and a loss may be what's needed to fuel the tank again. Call the hell down.

We have issues whether we beat Uga or not. We won’t lose, btw. Being tired or not having legs should never be an issue with 2 games a week. What should be watched closely is how we handle adversity. Brown and Heron are very immature, we need them to respond to adversity better this year.
Agree 100% on this being about how we handle a loss.
Brown has been so much more mature than he was a year ago. It's hard to even put it into context. The dude would stop playing defense after 2 missed shots. Heron just looks like he wants to get his to me, still thinks his chance at the NBA is him being a NBA 20ppg scorer and I don't see it.
Tired because we've been on an emotional, unexpected run and suddenly were in the spotlight. Not because we play 2 games a week. Also because we were somewhat living off playing harder than anyone else. To me we were a bit of last years Boston Celtics....winning games in the regular season because they just played harder and wanted it more. I thought they were a prime candidate for early knockout in the playoffs and while I love these Tigers, I'm not sure I see a deep run in them even if we go 14-4 in the SEC. We're winning on good play, but also on hustle and effort and that all levels out in the tourney.
Definitely agree on Heron getting his. That is all he ever cares about. The reason why Brown isn’t as whiny, which he still bitches and whines every game, is because he’s now the go to guy.
And Herb Jones. And Dazon Ingram. Alex Reese gave them good minutes and hit a couple 3s that made our defense on the pick-and-pop and pick-and-roll useless. Hell, their best player from last year is playing terribly right now. They're a talented squad that might actually be better as a TEAM without Sexton.
You are critiquing way too hard if you blame the play after the made FT on him. It was a bad lead pass, to a bad spot on the floor, into the equivalent of triple coverage. You said he was our worst player last game. That’s really all I need to know about your basketball analysis.
Maybe this is just me, but Bryce seems really predictable. I feel like I can just tell by his handle whether he wants to create space for 3 attempt or whether he's looking to drive it. And the thing with him too is that he's pretty decent at beating his man on the perimeter, but then he becomes super super timid once he encounters traffic. He always looks like he's trying to avoid contact at all costs. I wouldn't mind seeing him do what that woman was advocating last night, just beat your man and pull up for a 8-10 footer cause he sucks at getting to the rim
Lmao. I never said he was our worst player. I said he wasn’t the elite defender y’all make him out to be. Bunch of crybabies.
Bunch of crybabies.

Definitely agree on the emotionally spent part. We looked emotionally drained last night. I think this run and the last two second half comebacks have just worn on these guys. And that empty tank met with a team who was desperate for a win at their place.
Also agree on Brown. He's been much more engaged on both ends all season. Probably has helped that he hasn't had the shooting slump this year that he had for a lot of the season last year.
My bad seaborn56. I misspoke. Still all I need to know about your basketball knowledge.
Staph and Jared have been woeful from 3 in conference. 17% and 22% respectively. That's gotta improve. Mac as mentioned has been really bad last couple ball games. We did a really bad job getting through screens out to their shooters early and let them get hot. My main disappointment from losing this one is it gets bama firmly back in the tourney picture. Everyone in the country has a loss worse than this one on their resume.
Ummm...no. looks nothing like the boog bored. Not one person here has blamed the loss on free throws.
kind of weird stats but Desean Murray leads the team in turnovers for the season so far and Horace Spencer leads the team in steals. And Chuma is now out rebounding both Horace and Mac
In SEC play, Okeke is 3rd in assists. And Bryce is 4-21 fron inside the arc in SEC games.
Not to be too argumentative, because we didn’t play great. But it basically came down to them shooting a little better than us. They had way more turnovers and played sloppy at times too. I just think their length all over the floor was the difference. Made everything hard for us.
We do have to step up now regardless. And play like winners and expect to get great effort from opponents.
He's also the guy who is most likely to get us a steal IMO. He probably had drawn an offensive foul on the inbounds before he wrapped his arm around the offensive player and made it look like he was pulling him down.
We also need to have him in late IMO because we need to have speed bringing the ball up and more options on the court than just Harper. We really botched the in bounds pass, down 3 with 5 seconds to go IMO. That ball needs to hit a PG on the move and it looked like Harper wasn't ready to be pressed. We essentially had no shot at getting a moderate look for the tie there once the ball was inbounded. Just poorly played and executed.
Yeah that was a toughy. Dude clearly barreled into Davion and he holds on to break his fall. Bruce went berserk and rightfully so. That last play was definitely Fubar from the jump.
Another interesting stat is that Desean Murray has attempted 38 FTs in just 5 conference games. He only has 73 attempts total on the season. He's getting to the line like crazy in sec play, which I find kind of weird. Watching his games these past 2 weeks, and it'd appear like he's having a really hard time out there offensively, but these last 4 games are arguably his most productive of the season.
