Their record is deceiving - Lost to Kansas, North Carolina, FSU, Georgetown and Georgia on the road. Lost to Miami and UConn at home. Yes they are down a bit, but that is one tough schedule and they were 3-1 SEC coming into tonight. Great win for us I believe.
Everything they did wrong on Saturday when up big, they did right this week! There was only one time late that I saw Hornsby throw up a quick three, but he got his own rebound and they pulled it out and ran some clock. They got pushed hard on a quick 7-0 run by Florida, but was able to rebuild the lead. Good strong win, and I hope a sign that they're turning the corner.
They kept control basically wire to wire. Thats very difficult to do on the road even against mediocre competition much less in the SEC. I was thinking this may be the game they start putting it together and play more consistently. Let's hope so. I think this is the type team they won't be good as favorites but can pull an upset against most due to size and depth. Seem to play harder as underdogs. Kentucky should be up soon which may tell us more.
Very impressed, they got the lead then grinded clock. Broke the press pretty well. Think they coulda got the win vs TAMmie with this mindset. Smart play combined with a team that seems to be gelling and hitting stride, and some pretty good talent has me hoping. M&M, .25man, the way it is kid, & Patterson look like a tough out. The bench even helps out. Gray still seems unpredictable.
