  • This performance is pathetic!!

    bamadefense1

  • Absolute garbage effort so far. Obviously, just making a tourney is good enough for these guys.

    Douché!

  • That was just a waste of two hours. I love Grant but that performance was all on him. Those guys weren't ready to play. No fire.

  • Question for those who downvote: Did you think we played well?

    bamadefense1

  • Lost on offense... But that has been the norm for this team all year... Too inconsistent. We didn't look like a NCAA tourney team.

    I don't downvote but I have to ask a question, what should have Grant done differently today? We shot terrible in the first half no question. But I saw missed layups and wide open shots missed, not contested shots. What is Coach supposed to do when guys can't make layups and wide open jumpers? That falls on the players shoulders and they have to make plays when put in position to do so.

    I just find it funny the overreaction to a road loss to a decent team, Ole Miss (RPI of 61 going into today) is not South Carolina. You would think we got blown out based on some of the posts today. We had a chance to cut it to a three point game with two minutes left when Cooper over throws Eblen for a wide open layup after a steal. I guess that was Grant's fault as well.

    The coach is responsible... Period...maybe try practicing shooting? Just sayin.

    It was a bad effort. We got bitchslapped. How ugly would this have been if Ole Miss were just a bad free throw shooting team, rather than a Nightmarishly Apocalyptically Abysmal Disaster free throw shooting team?

    Douché!

    Did you see where..we are down 3 possessions.. And 1 min left...and it looked like we were holding the ball for the last shot. I was saying. WTF...And in some games this year..we would be down 3. With 10 secs left.. And we go for the 2... I don't understand ..but then again I dont get paid 2 million a year.

    Yeah Greg, I'm sure they don't practice shooting at all. Brilliant response

    It's one game. People should be held accountable and there's no need for this "sunshine pumper/hater" zero-sum dichotomy, on either side. I'm just not going to pretend that checking into a hotel at 11 is an excuse for airmailing a 3 pm game. The team sucked today, plain and simple.

    Douché!

    He was also responsible for the 20 wins we had this year....does he receive credit for those wins? Or are we just keeping tabs with the negatives? No one on this board has said a word about this team being where it needs to be, but you focus on nothing but negative, so I have a question for you?

    If you consistently talk down on your team, your child, or a friend and pick out only the negatives, what exactly do you do for them? Nothing. If you want to be constructive and criticize with some type of resolutions, then throw it out there man.

    We have plenty of room to develop and improve, but Bama has won 7 of their last 10 and I fail to see you post positive when they win. Do you think your expectations are higher than our coaches? I can assure you that no one wants to win more then Coach Grant and if you don't think he was pissed about the performance today, then it's time for a reality check.

    You Are wrong..I've posted plenty of times about the good games... Grant didn't look pissed sitting on the bench..

    I've been trying to cover up my ignorance but finally somebody realized I am clueless. Grant is not responsible. It was really the referees' fault anyway. Hey, we're in the tournament! That's all that matters.

    Yeah. I'm sure they don't practice shooting at practice. In other news, the Football team is supposed to give up "running" in practice as well.

    Don't tell me we actually practice shooting that bad...your kidding me! Damn..I knew it..

  • On the bright side, we have to be the best perimeter passing team in the country.

    bamadefense1

  • Yep our perimeter passing is great maybe next year we work on something else since we have that down

  • Has Engstrom played much the past 2 games? Funny how Green comes back and we start playing bad again.
