We will find fault no matter what. If we were blowing everyone out, some would be complaining that we aren't really that good because of the competition. Coach played his whole team, someone will complain when they enter the portal, saying that Penny didn't play them. Shesh, other ranked teams lost to unranked teams tonight. UTSA shot well enough to pull off the upset, but they didn't. We're still 14-2 and 3-0 in conference.

I don't think this is on any one player but when Tomlin was introduced into the lineup something changed. I don't see any evidence of animosity or personality conflicts but the team dynamic changed. It may take some time to gel again.

I'm not blaming it on Tomlin, but it's pretty easy to see that we have won home games against bad teams on a single possession or in OT ever since he started playing.

There are ranked teams way ahead of the Tigers losing left and right to average to subpar teams on a weekly basis and fans here are complaining that the team finds a way to keep on winning

I agree here. Losing Mills is also fresh and that definitely hurts. Then you got quitters like Brown and JJ Taylor. Lot's of drama.

Not even close to this level. We regularly beat bad teams by 30 under Cal. Go look it up, I'm too lazy to do it.

I made a simple statement that since Tomlin started playing we look worse. It is a fact. I don't need a scientific lecture.

I'll say this.. Tomlin somehow messed with the team's chemistry.. Ashton shouldn't play more minutes than Cherenfant.. He is way more talented and brings more energy to the floor.

You have to understand, those other teams ahead of us that lost are losing to P5 teams, so it will be excused. We are losing to G5 AAC teams, so we can't get away with that.


..... oh, wait.... no, we haven't....

Penny's bizarre substitution patterns definitely contribute to our woes. The first time we went up by 7, he goes nuts and puts both Hardaway's and the 2 other freshmen in at the same time. Poof! There goes the lead. I just don't get it, but as long as we keep winning and all I have to ***** about is style points, I guess we'll be ok.

He also made a simple statement. Fire trucks don't cause fires.

That is true.. and I think individually he has been good. He might be the most talented guy on our team. I remember years ago when he got Snap Hunter mid season we got way worse... became a horrible team that year

Where’s that dude that made the thread about us running through the VCU to Virginia stretch. We need him to make a new post for the rest of conference season to get our mojo back. We’ve been **** since the end of his predictions. Fact

Funny, the 3rd, 5th, 9th, and 11th ranked teams all lost to unranked teams tonight. So let's b**** about the 13th ranked team winning LOL.

We must BUST THE TREY BALL

Two top 10 teams lost to unranked teams tonight. One of them lost to our old conference mate UCF.

Oh forgot to add that's a number 11 and number 9 teams, Marquette and Oklahoma, are also losing by double figures in the second half to unranked teams. We'll see what goes there

All the ranked teams that lost tonight except Marquette were on the road I might add.. Doesn’t take away from them losing but much tougher to win on the road..

lol. Well, that was me, but I thought we would win by 24 tonight. Only prediction I have now is I have no clue about what happens next!

If UTSA played like that for the games already played, would they be 7-8 record? I don't think so. They played so far above their heads and still got beat. Give the Tigers some credit people.
