You haven't been watching if you think Mgbako is our best big man or our best overall player. I'll cut some slack since he was coming off of injury as to why he hadn't play up to expectations whether they were realistic or not. He was improving before the broken foot .

He had potential to perhaps be our best player

and re Agee's mistake- we wouldnt have been CLOSE to even being close to LSU if mot fir him- a great game and effort- i was just answering Q if someone who didnt see game.

Jmo, we pulled out a hard fought victory and it wasn't our best game . We were pretty sloppy offensively for several stretches . May have been the best overall defensive effort of the season tho.

I have been watching and his size and inside presence would have been much needed in SEC play. Without him, we may be the shortest team in the SEC this season.

He mostly played like a long catch and shoot guard and had very little impact in the paint at all wrt rebounding or defense . It got better the last few games he played but it had a long way to go … imo. You're entitled to your opinion it just isn't what I saw.

I'm not saying he wouldn't have helped but Agee is by far our best big man.

Great win! 1-0 feels a lot better than. 0-1.

Bucky ball 100x > than what we had.

This team COMPETES!!!! they want to win and they play hard. love it!


Our recent teams didn't COMPETE? Please, keep your criticisms somewhat rational.


Chill! that wasn't meant AT ALL that way- i was talking abiut the STYLE of ball and hiw much fun it was- the comments abiut competing were 100% about our team only.

Quit being such a negative a-&$! who imagines every comment a criticism. You almost have yo be an idiot to think ANYONE would think last year's team (and really ALL Buzz's teams) didnt compete and play hard.



Then your post was terribly written.

I love the win - get some SEC confidence. I do think this team needs some confidence (as a team) and some sec wins under their belt to feel like they can do this in league.


A bit concerning we struggled to beat this LSU team at home when they were missing their best player - of course we have no Mgbako either but still, I'm judging the team we have to face this conference Slate.


On the other hand, great to win when we shoot well below our average percentages across the board. Was it a bad shooting night, or was it due to playing a longer more athletic opponent than any we've faced in a while? I think a bit of both, we missed some clean looks.



My impression was the team put a lot of emphasis and effort into defending this large and around the rim LSU team, and that may have hurt our offense a bit. Just a thought.


We are in the gauntlet now. The SEC buzz saw. It's daunting.

Big win to start conference play with. Hopefully it can really propel this team

It's Year 1 under Coach Bucky and a new team trying to mesh together now without our best overall player out for the season. There will be ups and downs in SEC play but we will have to give Bucky into Year 3 or so to see how things will look.


Yeah I didnt mean our overall outlook was grim with Bucky, just probably this season and I could certainly be wrong about that. We are gonna have a game or two where we shoot lights out and nobody will have a chance to beat us. I also think we will lose a game or two or three by 40+.

I'm positive on our future for sure.

I am glad we outlasted LSU 75-72 to start 1-0 in SEC play. Hopefully, we can build off of this big home win.
