Strange to look back at their visit to LR to open the season. First we played at Simmons Bank Arena. Second, our women needed a "prayer" 3-pointer at the buzzer to win by one. The men routed UT-Martin. Now they are 1.5 games out of first place and we are in last place. Our women are 12-1. I was actually a little more worried about how our women's team would do, after that first day of conference play, then I was about the men. A lot has changed since then.

We can put a fork in them....another great performance that was never in doubt. The other OVC teams have themselves a punching bag. Pitiful effort.

Yes, today was absolutely pitiful. Beat the number one team and then play like this. Hard to understand.

I just wish the coach and the players could coach and play as well as they dance....

Again, I agree that they need to less dancing and more playing.

Not sure who runs the OVC site, but they again have our record incorrect- 5-9, instead of 4-10. Pretty ridiculous.

Why can't we play DEFENSE!!!!! Does anybody on the team care?

I agree that is the 64,000 dollar question. Darrell specialized in defense as a player. Maybe he just can't teach it. I used to think defense was mostly just effort. I still think it is a big part of it, but obviously technique, positioning, etc. are crucial as well.
