Another ugly game. We have about 9 role players on the roster and very few alpha dogs. Sub .500 year unless we see some dramatic improvement.

Vescovi, James & Pons

We have our trio...just need them to get comfortable scoring 12-20 a game. Need the rest of the team to play hard defense & rebound.

Fulk will give us Kyle like production, and when Bowden gets outta his slump we’ll looking really strong.

LSU owning paint and toughness down low. Playing like grown men. Just know inside presence to make any team fear coming inside.

Truth. No one consistent enough on this team to be “the man” when you need a basket or a stop.

No one that wants to drive the ball and get fouled. They settle for contested jump shots and don't get on the glass. Looks like a poorly coached team right now.

Our defense is failing us like the past few games. This is on the veterans. At this point I wouldn't care if we asked one or two more players to hit the road this off season. The only saving grace is youth but I don't see much to like.

Like Vescovi and as he learns the offense and his teammates his TO's will go down. Bowden can't hit the broad side of the barn and he's supposed to be our Sr leader. We pretty much have ZERO inside game and not much interior defense.

Overall, you can just tell that losing Turner, having Bowden be a no show, and adding Vescovi has Tennessee out of sorts. It's a lot to lose and a lot to add. Guys don't know where to go and what to trust, especially on defense. BUT. They can learn to play together with all the changes and get better. Can't get bigger, sadly, have to recruit to get bigger. But. They can get a lot better if they work hard.

Tn acts like they are in the lead with the way they try to use up all the shot clock

It’s hard to coach aggressiveness and killer mentality.
GBO!!
