Hold on...Because there's going to be several more losses I'm afraid. Hopefully we don't get any injuries.

On the broadcast, Dane Bradshaw said "note the score and time" when ZZ went out with two fouls.  And he was totally right, Vandy took over right then and were in control the rest of the way.

Seniors need to play smarter.  Fouling 3 point shooters seems to be a trend, unfortunately.

It's how basketball seasons go, for sure...  road wins are hard to come by.  But it's really easy right now imagine this team getting bounced pretty quickly in a tournament the way they're playing.  Just gotta hope we keep getting better.

So far Chaz hasn't shown that killer mentality.  Will that change?  Or will the SEC gauntlet chew him up?

Barnes needs to trust his veteran to be able to play with 2 fouls too. Maybe sit him for 2 minutes then let him go. It amazes me coaches will take them out and sit them for the fear of losing them.....And guess what....they have already lost them sitting on the bench picking their asses while the clock ticks away.

I noticed the Florida coach the night they ass raped us played his PG with 2 fouls. Wonder if ours didn't sit for 7 minutes if we could have found 2 points there somewhere?!!

Great point.  Sit him with 3, but not 2.
