*** Boogs v Ole Miss ***
- Thread starter Denim Vest
- Start date
Lack of effort & mindset tonight. And OM didn’t even play that well & that’s whats disturbing. Seems like we think folks are just gonna lay down for us. Every road game will be a struggle, but we already knew this.
They looked like the better coached and prepared team to me.
We look like we peeked in mid-November.
They know how to run a set offense.
the thought that some company actually got paid millions for that sh!tty "lil bit kuntry/lil bit rock'n roll makes me @sad
this is gonna be the opposite of last year... we’re deeper and more talented, so as long as we get our rotations down and have our shit together by March, I’m not gonna stress out too much
it’s frustrating, but I’m not gonna get too torn up unless we still look shaky 5 weeks from now
We looked light years better than them in the second half. They were completely out of it on offense for most of the half. Only way they stayed in it were unforced errors by us. Take the Horace drive, Malik TO and about 5 other unforced errors away and we had the W. What really lost the game though was that implosion by us going into the half. If we don't play like complete shit those 2 mins, we go the half down 6 or so and end up winning comfortably after outplaying them solidly in the 2nd half. Real kick in the nuts after waiting 11 days to watch some hoops.
I fvcking hate losing to the Mississippi teams in anything. Straight trash.
Well FTs didn’t mean jack so I still have that in my pocket.
Have to put together at least 2-3 big road showings late in the year for me to believe we can win in the tournaments away from home.
I’ll say this while we’re all griping and before we’re on the other end of it
being able to call a timeout after your own made basket is bullshit...
and so is the concept of a one plus one free throw...
both of those rules make me embarrassed to take college basketball seriously... but those are like reasons 24 and 25... they’re way down the list but still laughable

Fvck.
I’m going to The Clam on the 19th so they better get their shit together.
It just feels like it’s been a while since we’ve played good ball against a decent team.
In tight games we can’t waste possessions on Horace trying to be James harden, Bryce dribbling like a Harlem globe trotter, turning over trying to go 2 on 3 or 4, etc,etc. This team is going to get everyone’s best and they can’t play wild. It’s not gonna work this year.

My Cats may have peaked in the summer in the Bahamas. I know the feeling.
yeah bro... that’s what I meant by “have our shit together”
I thought we’d be performing surgery on O and it’s largely been ass since the first 2 games. Need more Malik I see no reason he can’t play some 4 while Danjel rots on the bench.
Oh well long way till March but I’m suffering from some battered boog syndrome right now.

Ole Miss is better than I thought they'd be. I knew Kermit Davis could coach, but I thought it'd take longer.
Agreed. Stupid mistakes in the 2nd half were the difference. Our D was suffocating for long stretches. They were totally lost and frustrated. Every time we had it down to 2 or 3 points, we had another unforced error to give them a chance to shore up their lead. If we had never been in such a huge hole, we would have had room for error in the second half. Down 13 though, you can't make 7 or 8 idiotic mistakes and expect to win.
I get it, but I was hoping by conference play we would kinda be done with the centers shooting 3’s and the other bullshit. The season is almost halfway over. Maybe my expectations were too high and they probably are.
Much appreciated. Sucks, but UT probably locked up the title the first week of conference play. They look like they can go 15-3 or better and that will be nearly impossible for Auburn and UK with both already having losses.
Agreed. Spencer and Austin have been in the program way too damned long to hurt us doing stupid shit that is beyond their ability level. If Austin played the way he had against NC state (or basically any game since the first 2) we win this one tonight. We could not afford him having zero post game and missing 3 or 4 dunks even with the heavy contact.
We looked like we bought into our hype and think we will win just by showing up.
