| Embarrasing
That is just pathetic. Not only did a player drop 54 points on us, but Kentucky beat us by 20....PATHETIC. I am still on the Bruce Pearl Bandwagon, and I think this team could still be good, but this is a HUGE Setback. We better put together a run like Kentucky did last year and somehow finish 11-5 or 10-4 and squeek into the tournament.
BTW, Tyler needs to be stepping up so much more than he has. I was expecting 24 ppg, 8 reb before the year, and he hasn't come close to that, let alone show hustle when things arn't going his way. JMO, he needs to step up a lot more. |

| The whole problem on this team is lack of hustle and heart. You got two ballplayers, smith and chism, and everybody else is scared, except tatum, on occasion. This team will learn as they go but it scares me at the lack of heart. | |

| I love the "we're young" responses. The only reason we lost is due to ONE player on the other team. How long is a team "young"? | |

| Im getting tired of the we are young excuse. We have played 15 games so far this season. The being young ended about 6 games ago. This team is soft, have no heart, cant play defense, cant shoot a jump shot, & cant hit free throws. Plain & simple. | |

| When anyone goes off like Meeks, it makes it almost impossible to win, The Celtics couldn't of stopped Meeks tonight. | |

| I know we are young, but that is pathetic. I just hope that the lack of production keeps Tyler and Wayne back 1 more year....we know Scotty won't be going maybe we can put a Final Four contending team on the court next year? | |

Meeks was not to be stopped tonight. Did we play well? No. Is this the end of the season? No. We are learning how to play and are too talented and too well coached to not improve as the season progresses. | |
