They have a legitimate shot at 2nd because the Big 10 has proven to be extremely overrated yet again.

Gregory won’t survive this season. Sorry guys we are beyond bad, feel bad if anyone in AAC loses to us.

Only question left in the Houston game, is if the Coogs will reach double figures. They should have in the last game, but the bench did nothing when they came in.

from a Rutgers game where their best player is out, you feel this confident!

Houston up 60 on Bryant... Houston treating a top 230 kenpom team like a d2 team

Damn. Houston is spanking Bryant’s monkey. Bryrant is a top offense and look what Houston’s defense is doing to them.

SC St has been close in a bunch of games, sucks cause that's a NET killer. But they have a couple of players, showed at ECU.

It is inexcusable for anyone in this conference to lose to SC State.

their defense isnt the same, sampson noted something about Houston after the wisconsin loss and that resonated with me as i rewatched the memphis game.. he said houston was "in front" of wisconsin the 1st half, but let them run their stuff, that what makes a defense good is uncomfortablility, don't let them run what they want to, make them feel pressured into making bad decision, make them run whatever they think is desperately available not what they want to planned before the game
that was Memphis last year.. even getting the ball over half court with memphis last year was a monster , memphis harrassed you with length.. that is no the case this year (so far) last year the defense was the harrasment and effort, that was boosted by lenght... this year they are just defense is just length.. 6'3 guards shooting over 6'7 is hard, and every shot at the rim can be swatted by duren/williams/minott, that's the defense.. memphis will let you run whatever you want, let you pass it to whoever, you just have to deal with the size..and as seen with georgia there are many ways to get around height/shot blockers (like screens, or using the rim as protections etcs.) that is a drastic difference from last year
honestly, the offense is pretty much the same level (wasnt that great last year either)..
P, there you go making a judgment based on one game. Until the Georgia game, we played great D again. For whatever reason, our guys decided not to play D that game.
There is a lot of drama and behind the scenes turmoil going on. Nobody was trying on D. That's what Penny's outburst was about after the game.
IMO, what Penny isn't doing is taking responsibility for this mess. I'm not sure we win another game in the next 2 weeks. We are dysfunctional as a team right now.
P.S. The offense should look the same in the Georgia game as last year. It's what we used to go on a roll the last half of the season. Penny installed it right before this game, b/c what we were doing before was such a disaster.
You will have to sweep Houston if you don’t win another game in the next two weeks. That would be awful.
If we don't win in the next 2 weeks, it won't matter what we do against Houston. You know me. I try to be realistic, but I'm usually optimistic. Not right now. We're a mess.
What's frustrating is the problems have to do with everything but talent. Chemistry, coaching, attitudes...

I think yall have no worse than one of the T-5 rosters in the history of this league. Failing to at least make the tournament would be a colossal failure. I was really optimistic about Penny after the way yall finished last season but now, not so much.
