Was it just me, or did we really seem out of it? Like we didn’t want to be there.
The post you quoted didn't say we were trash. This was a very winnable game and we played well below what we're capable of. I think people can be upset and question how good we're going to be if Turner and Bowden don't come around, while still realizing that this was going to be somewhat of a rebuilding year.LOL at the board. Amazing. People were thinking before the season that this team may just may make the NCAA tournament while others thought this would be a bad year. Now suddenly we have outperformed what many thought and suddenly its trash. Some of you should go back to the FF.
Positive .... Look how much JJJ stepped up his game...Others will improve also as the year goes along...sit back and enjoy the growth of some of these players. SEC play hasn't began yet
I was just asking what happen to our passion? Usually Turner gets hyped up. He seemed way to calm from what I’ve seen in usual games. JJJ didn’t do any different than his previous games.LOL at the board. Amazing.

Now suddenly we have outperformed what many thought and suddenly its trash. Some of you should go back to the FF.

Kinda my thoughts as well. We were never able to get that second-half spurt to feed our emotion. Fulk definitely played with emotion, though. Pember gave us some good hard minutes and showed some fire.Well, to be fair emotion is typically shown when you make big shots. We played hard and scrapped with them. But it’s hard to be emotional when the basketball doesn’t go into the hoop.

I agree. I knew this team would struggle if we weren't hitting outside shots. But I'm still pretty agitated about losing this one. lol.Yes it was winnable Freak and as i said, go back and read the post from before the season started. Many thought it would be great if we even got into the tournament. We have out performed so far. I have posted other replies in the BB forum already in support of this team this year the progress of a couple players just from our last game.
I am confident Barnes will get the most out of his players. This year is a surprise already to me
Understood and sometimes or a lot of times I know I don't make myself clear but just watching these young players develop plus the transformation Fulkerson has made and how he played today is enjoyable. Just like last year I think by mid season this won't look like the same team. Could be wrong so I'll put it 75/25 in favor of a big improvement.I agree. I knew this team would struggle if we weren't hitting outside shots. But I'm still pretty agitated about losing this one. lol.
I’m wondering why Barnes didn’t play Pember more. I think he can be a guy to get the team out of these emotional slumps.Kinda my thoughts as well. We were never able to get that second-half spurt to feed our emotion. Fulk definitely played with emotion, though. Pember gave us some good hard minutes and showed some fire.
Yeah but memphis had 9 freashman on the road in front of the biggest crowd they have faced, with 2 sophmore backups as veterans, 1 second year senior, and 2 starters missing who combine for 30ppg 10rpg.The team has seniors but has youth w playmakers.
What, 70% of our offense left for the NBA/graduation? We had three freshmen in @ the same time when we got into foul trouble 1st half. Memphis’ pressure defense sped the game during this time frame and we got rattled the last 8-10 min. It’s difficult to play when you have to think vs the game coming to you.
I was proud of Fulekrson and James and thought Pember showed some promise. Pons needs to develop consistency while Turner is pressing for some reason.
