Brutal presser. Paraphrasing: No one wants to play defense. Selfish offense leads to poor defense. Played the "we are young" card.

At some point this excuse just becomes so much B.S. That point is rapidly approaching. I thought we looked GREAT in the first part of the second half only to inexplicably vanish in the second part. WTF  ? |

WTF ? An anecdote from someone in the actual building last night (which sounds like not many were there) as relayed to me this morning (I was listening on the radio/watching a stream): Seems amazing that game 2 of what should be a new revitalized season and the players are already listless, unmotivated??? I wasn't there so I can't verify the above actually happened... but pretty disheartening if it did... What should WT do? Bench everyone? I know if it was me Stevie wouldn't see the court for at least a game or two... |

This is year 3 of Coach Tinkle's first recruiting class, this group was suppose to set the foundation to turn the program around. Its unfortunate that one left, but the rest need to lead the way and contribute like the upperclassmen that they are. |

I know if it was me Stevie wouldn't see the court for at least a game or two... if he didnt get benched in the first 10 minutes when he gave up 2 backdoors while sleeping it's not going to happen. period. Revising my predictions downward. This team wins 5 conference games. |

Good news/ bad news... I don't think WT is a great coach of fundamentals, nor an in-game coach. I think Rupp and Thompson are better teachers. But, he has proven somewhat he can recruit outside the family ties.
If this season falls flat... still think 8-4/16 or 17 wins overall possible... we have above average talent here and signed for next year for the next coach.

Who do you think will be on this team for the next coach? 4 5ths of your starting lineup sure to be gone. And above average? Maybe for Lake Woebegone CC. Eubanks

On a positive note, I saw more heart and hustle out of Seth Berger then anyone on the roster in the second half. He was doing a great job on D and then got pulled never to return
