Hopson needs to ride the pine until his head gets right. Pearl needs to sit next to him because no one even guards him anymore. Summitt needs to get in the line up to hit some 3 balls for us (joke). Something wierd is affecting this team. Reminds me of Loften's senior year. He had been treated for cancer and everyone wondered where his shot was. Maybe Hopson has an STD and needs to seek treatment.

Something is affecting this team, and I don't think it's a player...something has happened and this team is just not the same team we saw previous to this week.

[Hens67]

I am telling you its Hopson...he has taken the last 3 games off and it shows

Once/IF he wakes up..all will be fine

[AlaskaVol]

Well maybe this time Pearl has the testicular problem? The NCAA may be going to cut them off and they know it.

I hope we don't have to rely on that or it could be a very long season

We keep hearing this story, but this team is as much about Goins' play as it is anything.

I agree that Goins has disappeared too. Several players have disappeared and there must be a reason. This does not happen to Pearl team. I hope it is not the NCAA flu.

[Hens67]

Goins:
Oakland - 18pts and 6 assist 2 rebs
So Cal - 10 pts 3 assist 5 rebs

Goins is not the problem guys...that is good enough production from a PG to win imo

Scotty is soft...thats the problem. He usually has a few games where he shows us he can play at a high level and then he goes back to his soft self. Notice last night, when he drove to the basket his mind set was not I want to score, it was hopefully I'll get fouled and then I'll act like it was the worst foul ever and throw the ball up and hope it goes in....Bench Hopson for a game or two and hope he gets the picture.

*Scotty is not the sole reason we are losing, but it doesn't help that one of our best players wears a skirt on the court.

This half court, grind it out game they've been playing isn't going to work. They need to find certain times in the game to press and try to speed the pace of the game up. What's the point in having such a deep bench if you aren't going to utilize it?

Well if this goes as Hopson does, then it will be going last place in the SEC and not making the tournament until his lazy ass starts playing some ball... With that said, this team will go as far as Melvin and Tobias takes them!!

"this team will go as far as Melvin and Tobias takes them!!

lol this might be the case

Tobias is playing well....hate that didn't fall for him last night

[BasketvolsFan]

If we only go as far as Hopson takes us, we sure won't be going very far. The most talented player I've ever seen who makes no difference for his team in the majority of games.

[Huh]

The sad part is that we have to watch him again next year, because hes never going pro.
