Glad we got the W. Vanderbilt played a lot better in second half. Got a bit too close for me. Couldn't get the reserves in....

Not a stellar second half. I wish we could put two solid halves together. We still largely kept Vandy at arm's length, but would have been nice to let our subs finish out the game vs. the starters.
Nice bounce back game from Blake. Gilly with the back to back steals in the second half, stabilized what has was a very shaky second half effort.

Ha, seriously. That was always going to be a short lived take. We all know Francis is a scorer, but he was slumping early on, but good money was on him reverting to form.
Although, I could take him not launching a 3 ball under 2 minutes and up 10.
Haven't been a basher because I think we need his swagger but Blake had been in a mini-slump shooting but was the Blake we need today.
And just compare his swagger and toughness to Grant and you should understand why we need him showing us how we need to play

Don't consider myself a basher, but have said we would be a better team if he passed more and shot less. Stand by that. Can't have the lowest percentage shooter among the starters taking the most shots.
I don't think we should overlook that we just had a double digit road win over an SEC opponent and we are complaining about our performance.
Yes, Mooney has some stuff to clean up. We get awfully content when we get a lead. That will bite us against better opposition.
But I'll take the an easy dub over an SEC squad any day of the week.

Sorry guys, the second half was my fault. Couldn't watch our listen during the first half, turned it on right as the second half started. Should have just waited til 3 to hear about our 50-point win.
Said on radio broadcast they are actually flying to Indy, get dinner and relax for evening if I heard correctly. Practice in facility tomorrow and play the game, I would think can only help rather than bus ride.
Ah yep...

Not a basher but I've said it before and will say it again, he can shoot you out of a game as well as into a game. Shooter gonna shoot. I remember a least 2 trips down the floor where the other 4 players each gave the ball up but when it came to Blake up went the shot. He made one, missed one.
Blake basher here. His shot selection was much better in the first half. He didn't force anything, took open shots, made them and got confidence. That is how he should play, not start out by forcing shots early in shot clock or when covered. That 3 he took when we should have been running out the clock was a perfect example, yes he was wide open but he should not be taking that shot.
The shuttle has landed.Ah yep...

Impressive that the game ended at about 2:55pm ET and they made it off the court, showered, packed up, on the bus, 15 min ride to airport, on the plane, and wheels up all in about 40 minutes. That is an efficient operation.
Hardt gave them sponge baths on the plane.
It might be part of the C-19 protocols - better to shower at the hotel than in the locker room. <shrug>
Golden had to fix his hair. The flight will not leave without him. Grant has the locks I must say, but the older one gets the less hair one has.
Might also have had a convertible plane. Fly through a rain storm, shower on the way?
That's weird - it changed from earlier.
I guess we'll know when they arrive at their hotel when you-know-who checks in on the forum.
Good effort. 2nd half letdown, but to me the game was never in question. Good to see Crabtree playing. I would still like to see more Wilson. Also, feed Cayo more in the post!
Mini-Basher. My complaint was that he was killing us by taking bad shots early in the shot clock. Today, Francis took good shots later in the shot clock...
Your welcome
Are we really tracking flight patterns now? Checking tail wing numbers?
I thiught they were taking a 4hr bus ride to indy..that change or am i mixing up my info?
Thanks 32 I like it when it is more a recap for both teams vs the winner.
That might be a good motivational tactic - "If you lose this game, we're gonna treat you like we do the football team."
