It really helps to know who to root for/against.<br /><br />In regards to our loss yesterday, it was extremely frustrating to watch. You just got a sinking feeling when bama started to make their run in the 2nd half. I think the reason for so many 2nd half collapses is a combination of things: coaching, mental mistakes, turnovers and a lack of depth. <br /><br />Our starting five can play with anybody in the country, as evidenced by our 1st half performances. But once those guys get tired, we're hosed. Obviously substitution patterns play a part here, but fatigue has already set in.<br /><br />I think our other problem is the lack of a "closer." We don't have a guy that says " give me the ball and get out of my way, I'm gonna take over this game." That isn't really Thompkins game, so I thought it would end up being Leslie or Williams, but that hasn't really materialized. If we had a guy that could reliably get a few key buckets at the end of a game, not only are we still playing in the sec tourney, but we're comfortably in the big dance.<br /><br />Overall, I'm very proud of Fox and our guys, but unfortunately I think we're headed to the NIT.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-31440036837003597612011-03-12T11:50:32.789-05:002011-03-12T11:50:32.789-05:00Just to expand on what I just wrote...
If your be...Just to expand on what I just wrote...<br /><br />If your bench guys aren't producing, it makes it very difficult to hold a lead. You're either going to keep your starters in as much as possible and wear them down...or you're going to keep the bench guys in and lose your grip on the lead b/c they aren't doing anything.<br /><br />I'm very discouraged that we only have 6 guys who can really play but I still think Fox has done a good job so far. However, it would have been nice to see some of the sophomores or freshmen develop a little more and give us some punch off the bench.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-75551799862681690222011-03-12T11:40:22.836-05:002011-03-12T11:40:22.836-05:00The fact is that, other than Barnes, our bench suc...The fact is that, other than Barnes, our bench sucks. And because of that, we really start to wear down 5-10 minutes into the second half. The theme of this year has been to build a big first half lead and watch it start to disappear 5-10 minutes into the 2nd half.<br /><br />I'm not blaming Fox for the lack of depth, nor am I absolving him. It's only his 2nd year and rebuilding sometimes takes time (and this was a pretty big rebuilding job when he took over).<br /><br />However, if Thompkins leaves, next year could be painful. Losing Price, Barnes, and Thompkins would leave us with no bigs that we could really count on. Maybe someone will develop into a solid contributor (Thornton maybe?) but we don't have anyone reliable at this point in time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-4641214322959505442011-03-12T10:54:23.232-05:002011-03-12T10:54:23.232-05:00Seth why haven't you tweeted about this? http:...Seth why haven't you tweeted about this? http://www.ajc.com/sports/four-auburn-football-players-869122.html<br /><br />Saw it on GTP form the Senator.<br /><br />Also thanks for the Bubble update.Matt Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-58503243112298982102011-03-12T10:13:49.225-05:002011-03-12T10:13:49.225-05:00Mark Fox blunder cost the dawgs big time.
