Defense and Free throw shooting is absolutely terrible. Ole Miss had way too many uncontested shots and wide open layups... one big reason is Hogg is out there sucking wind and looks out of shape! We should have lost tonight, but got lucky... The underachievement of this very talented team is mind blowing!

There's no reason a group of players good enough to play college basketball should be as bad at shooting free throws as we are. It makes no sense.

Just as obviously, yet another team out shoots the Ags from all over the Court making jump shot after jump shot whenever the guard didn't just decide to blow by to the basket for an easy lay-up. At least Robert Williams woke up from his long slumber in the last 3-4 minutes of the game and played hard, blocking a few key shots while Davis was trying hard, if not real effectively. The rest of the team just looks like a less than average Division 1 team overall and athletically. Coaching is not evident as our team played its way to a well deserved loss but were spared by divine intervention on that last shot.

We looked better than them all night. Not sure how that translates to should have lost.

Not true. We outshot them 29-27 (.509-.458)

They won but I'm still worried as hell because we played a home game that we desperately needed to win and came way too close to losing. I mean way too close. I hope this team doesn't believe the hype of their talent and relax and lose to Missouri.

Hogg and TTM on the floor at the same time is just too much of a defensive liability in my opinion. It's especially true when neither of these guys is getting clean looks on offense because they can't create their own shots.

Unless you're in Austin where moral victories count as wins

They outhustled us all night and got most of the 50/50 balls.

Hopefully there is no taking it easy or overlooking teams from this point forward. Team still looked like a shell of its former self. Need to get back to playing the defense that was played in the first 10 games

The ball also just bounced in their direction A LOT. We had a couple fortunate breaks too but not nearly as many as they did.

Their bench out scored us 25-10. Not much help.

Maybe they're not as talented as we've given them credit for. Sure, there are some good players here and there, but overall I think the hype machine placed the majority of players on a pedestal they're not worthy of. Hence, the results.

Our guys do a lot of watching not actively helping on D or when we have the ball

Disagree. You create opportunities through hustle and effort. Look at the 50/50 balls. Take a look at rebounding stats. Ole Miss totally outplayed us but we got lucky and out talented them in the end.

Using a defensive scheme that rotates Davis to the 3 pt line is beyond crazy. And we've been doing it all year.

Gee ... wonder why our rebound numbers aren't better. And our illustrious coach can't see it or can't figure out a different scheme.

Are you serious? Did you not see the last shot they took that was a miracle that it rattled out??? FYI, That would have won the game. My point being, on a neutral court Ole Miss wins that game easily

If this is your stance then on a neutral court A&M beats Kentucky easily.

What about all the open 3s we had that barely missed. That's a pretty stupid argument

Actually, we should have beat Kentucky on the road, but the no call of holding Davis at the end of the game was horrendous! We actually outplayed and outhustled UK that night. Last night, we got outplayed and outhustled, but we were fortunate to come out with the win!

I am just curious as to why Hogg has appeared so out of shape. He wasn't hurt. If anything, he should have had extra time for conditioning. Our freshman class is good, but not ready. We lose that game if we don't squeeze their minutes. They should all be seeing spot duty at this point.....

im not going to pretend to know a whole lot of X's and O's, but when robert williams spends more time hedging on defense than guarding the paint, its a safe bet you are getting out schemed.

He was injured pretty much the entire off-season. Takes a while to come back from that and be in top form.

I believe that by the Missouri game, everyone will be healthy and available. Since Missouri is a much better team than Mississippi, we should get a better idea of what the true status of our team will be for the rest of the season.

We've been doing it with the five man for a few years. That guy almost always hedges out to the top and delays and then sprints back to the paint with their hands in the air. I've never been a fan of this and I believe it hurts the team defense a lot more than helping. You'll also see teams make the extra pass when we do this because help came to the paint leaving a corner 3 wide open.

Please explain what was incorrect in this analysis.

It is it BAS to point out the truth about this team?
