    What an embarrassing performance on the big dance floor, mediocre Mike had our boys ready…ready to stand around on offense, ready to turnover the ball, ready to breakdown on defense. What happened to the motion offense and aggressive defense? Very disappointing SEC tourney effort followed by this colossal cluster effort. How can you go down 13-0 and 21-3 early…AND NOT CALL A TIMEOUT to settle your team down? Just another reminder of why Florida ran Mediocre Mike off…but hey, we have 3 timeouts to burn in our next game, oh wait…

    Georgia's 3 point and outside shooters are not as consistent as those on higher rated teams. Georgia passes the ball frequently to get the ball inside, which often results in a turnover, while better teams also make frequent passes but their goal is to get a shooter open for an uncontested shot.

    I guess Newell is one and done as well.

    I was worried about this very scenario occurring. One and done. And so is the best player on the team…

    There isn’t a good shooter on that team. Blue is streaky. Other than that all poor shooters…white doesn’t recruit them.

    Gramster, you should apply for the HC position in Athens.

    Asa may very well be a draft pick but he is nowhere near ready to play in the NBA. He could certainly use another season of college basketball to mature and get stronger. Seems like in the era of NIL that they could find enough money to make it worthwhile for him to stay one more year.

    Unfortunately our AD decided it was a better deal to pay Mediocre Mike $300K per SEC victory, but hey, with enough cupcakes on the schedule looks like we got a great deal, it is only costing us $108K per victory overall so far. I would have done it for $100k per victory. That would have been a 250% improvement in the Tom Crean per victory cost, yes?
