We need the 20 ppg Williams back to have a shot

Me to. This is my 3rd b ball game I watched all year. I see what the b ball threads meant all year long

Coaches knew what kind of defense Tenn plays. No adjustment was made in practice. We have average
Players on offense. Dribble in paint make jump shot.

It wasn't a 1-3-1

Tennessee has a good defense but our offense was putrid except for JB in the first half. Nobody else has stepped up and we can't make a three. Our point guards are turning it over and we are ice cold from the field. Hoping for better second half.

The announcers were absolutely right when they discussed how when we get it into Brown there is no player movement and cuts to the rim and movement to get into better shooting positions. I've been saying this all year. Too isolation.

Two long scoreless streaks. Cajuns done

It's his job to get them ready to play. Is it the players fault he can't adjust to the zone?

Look man, I get that notion but you can't make these guys play better. They were prepared as our defense has been spot on. At some point, the players have to go out and execute. A lot of mental errors out there.

He can't make Dalcourt see Brown cutting on the baseline for a dunk and Fulks miss Charles on two wide open shooting opportunities or Lewis bumbling the ball and passing to nobody.

And they would be correct. Furman can do it. Princeton can do it. St. Peter’s can do it. Florida Gulf Coast can do it. For some reason this university cannot.

I’m being sarcastic. Richards defense is as good and Thomas’s point guard skills

He’s right. How the hell are you down double digits forcing twelve turnovers in a half

He would have been a better size matchup

True, but what has Marlin done to adjust to the zone?

Kinda embarrassing when all the pundits say we should be winning because of all the TN turnovers…yet we’re losing

To have any chance in the second half we are going to have to hit some 3's. Our guards will need to get hot or we will be done.

JB carried this team all year. Happy to be in the Dance but about to get embarrassed if the rest of the team doesn’t start stepping up and making shots. Geaux UL!

We're shooting 29% from the field and 0% on 3 pointers. We also have a total of 12 rebounds.

Time to shock the world.

We missed point blank range shots in that zone. They didn't play it that long.

Hard to rebound when turnovers are like Oprah giving out free books and point blank shots are missed.
