Great win, desperately needed, with Vandy coming up we could have a 2-0 SEC start,.

I love the fact that after Cal got ejected....Flint kept the same guys on the floor and they played zone

I love the fact that he made the decision to not play Boston and give him shots. I know Cal wants him to get out of this slump but putting them game in his hands isn't the best way to do it.

And for whatever reason, I believe Cal would have put Boston in and we would have lost.

I believe so as well. And it’s not like I dislike BJ. I hope he proves me wrong in time. It’s just that the sample size is getting larger—apparently this isn’t a slump for BJ—but what we’ve seen seems to be who he is at this point in his development. He shoots the ball virtually every time he touches it, makes very few of them and plays matador defense.

Other guys need to be taking the shots.

I agree. I know Cal likes to get the guys with first round potential their minutes but it's costing us games at this point. Boston and Clarke both need to be sitting.

I don't dislike the Kid, what I don't like is the disappointment with all hype and us thinking we were getting another Star. Then to see a kid who is totally thinking about himself, lazy and hurting his team.

Boston showed a ton of emotion on the bench when DA was going bonkers. Show that emotion on the court young man. Show you are passionate about the game and helping the team win.

[Joneslab]

Boston would do himself a lot of good if he just slowed down. Plays the game way too jittery and fast. This is why, I assume, he fires almost every shot he shoots off the heel.

Needs to chill.

[Joneslab]

Is it a coincidence that we are playing better with Boston on the bench??

Absolutely not.

But Jackson is a major problem as well and he was sitting through all of that. And I like Jackson a lot. I think he can be a star. But he has no idea how to play the game of basketball.

Jackson and Sarr on the court at the same time has been one of this team’s fundamental issues.

Notice there is no one mentioning Allen’s defense 😀

Lol! He has ALOT to work on defensively but I'll take those 3's all day!

[Joneslab]

I actually thought Allen did okay defensively. He isn't going to guard a burner way out on the floor but he's big enough that he can play physically with some people.

Defense is obviously not why you play him but I thought he held his own in that game.
