Title: OM always seems to give us fits…
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on December 29, 2022, 01:44:36 EST
…no matter the coach, no matter how good we are or how bad they are. That first half was about as bad as we can play. I’m just relieved to get out of there with a win.

But I do think that we’re in for a disappointing SEC slate unless JJJ returns at full speed (rapidly losing hope for this) or someone takes up the slack for his absence on offense (looking at you, Phillips). The book is out on this team, and they’re just too easy to defend right now.

Agree...When I saw we were favored by 7.5 I laughed. I knew we would struggle and wouldnt  be surprised if we lost. In fine UT fashion we have another 5 star that's so far a flop.

JJJ is just odd situation.

Agree. Disappointing that Zieglar MUST score. The freshman, and Mashak need to step it up. I don't think JJJ plays again this year. We have a chance to score in the paint with Aidoo/Nkamhoua/Awaka. Doesn't appear the freshman PG is going to be any help. We shall see.

JJJ was basically a flop until last year. We don't have much luck with the 5 stahs for sure.

I’m not ready to write off Phillips just yet. Recall that Chandler got off to a slow start last year, but by March he was arguably the best PG in America. But that team had other options on offense, and we could afford to wait him out. We really need to light bulb to come on for Phillips ASAP.

It’s a road win in the SEC against Kermit. I’ll definitely take it!!!
