So far they are letting them play and missed two travel calls on Vanderbilt

We keep driving the ball and getting killed but they won't call a foul on them

I would love to know what goes through Gaines head.

Gaines has made the same mistakes all season long. He can be so careless with the ball.

Gaines is a turnover machine, get him out of the game, he has done nothing but turn the ball over

With Gaines turnovers and Jellys lack of defense what I expected to be a great duo has turned into too much liability on the court

Jemison did not travel

Gaines is horrible, he has to have at least four turnovers and he is killing us

Jelly is ice cold.

Jelly getting good looks, they just are not falling

Jelly is gone. I thought he may have been injured but it feels like he’s just off

Gaines being in the game at this point is on AK, not Gaines lol.

At this point Jelly isn’t even a good decoy.

I can’t watch why they take points away from jelly

Got lucky on that foul

SMH. Jelly 1-9 from the field. Gaines with 3 turnovers vs. 0 assists. That is the story of the game so far.

No doubt our worst offensive half all season. (25.8% shooting???!?!??!?) The good news is the defense has been solid with no real foul trouble & we’re only down 3.

Naa. The story of the game is how astronomically bad Vanderbilt’s shooting was in the first 10 minutes.

Without that, this would already be almost out of reach.

Last four games jelly has shot:

30%
34%
16%
14% (so far)

Yikes.

I don’t think our defense was good but both offenses have sucked att shooting

Being down only 3 with Jelly being 1 for 10 / 0-5 and Eric being out of sorts, I will take that.

Settle down. Jelly has to work a lot harder off the ball. Don’t just sit in the corner. We gotta move him through double picks and also have him set some back picks and then pop to the corner.

Our bigs have to play bigger. Have to finish through contact — make the ref blow the whistle. They are not going to give you the weak stuff we are throwing up there close.

Also need to rebound better on the long rebounds. Vandy is winning most of those 50-50 balls and they scored off those 2nd chances a few times and we also picked up a couple of fouls as a result.

Repeat it out loud. Settle down. You are playing Vandy, not Kansas. They are good but not better than us if we settle down and play our best and stop giving them things through bad decisions.
