Horrible D, low basketball IQ, watch me offense and a coach that will not adjust.  Hate to say it but I'm ready for this senior class to move on.  Underachievers.

I asked best excuse. That is 4.

Jordan had a plan to take away our strength (Barford and Macon) and make us beat Butler with our weakness - which was the 3 and 4 positions. It was a great plan and it worked. Our plan was to make Butler prepare for us, which I think is what Mike Anderson says is his plan for every game.
I thought Barford and Macon had good looks all day and made nothing.  Honestly it looked like everything was there for the taking against butler and they just beat the hell out of us.  They even got frazzled at our press and the refs were letting both teams hack.  You couldn't have drawn it up any better.

 

Section B

Butler played as an actual team while as usual we played as a bunch of individuals.  As a result if we don't shoot lights out we can't beat an actual team. It's been that way and will continue to be that way...  unfortunately. If I was Daniel Gafford and I knew I was going to get drafted high I would already be out the door.

We have no consistent shooters.  Great shooting hides many weaknesses


[Great defense is the major missing ingredient of this team. There are other deficiencies, but defense is number 1.

Much like Bielema in football you can thank our "nice" guy coach for the underachieving part.  Either he doesn't know how to get the most out of his players or can't get their attention enough to push them beyond their potential.  Either way it's own him.

Our perimeter defense philosophy is "hope they miss" didn't hold up.

Yes - the game was there for the taking all we had to do was make some shots and we didn't.
Barford, Macon, CJ just couldn't hit.

Biggest reason....purpose. What were we trying to accomplish on offense? I still don't know after watching the game.   On defense what or who were we trying to take away from them? We play without purpose most of the time. One exception this year was the Alabama game. You could see what we were trying to do and it worked. Need more purpose in our program

Got down, 21-2. spent a lot of energy getting back in it and it looked like the tanks ran dry down the stretch.

Mike is never going to put the fear of failure in his team.  I thought he might someday get it, but I am wrong.  You simply do not get to this point in any season and blow up, hell no, you weren't ready and failure was an option.  This is us, no damn excuses, this is us.  Enjoy it or don't but don't make poor assed excuses for the umptenth time we roll snake eyes again.

THIS IS OUR COMFORT ZONE, GETTING OUR ASSES KICKED AGAIN.  IF WE WON'T TO EVER BETTER, WE NEED DIFFERENT COACHING, PERIOD.

Poor shooting.... we needed to score more than 80 points which is Butler's average.

Lot's of reasons, but no excuse for this in year 7 with a senior laden team. The number 1 reason is the head man.
BINGO! A coach we just gave a contract extension. Yeehaa!🧐

I don't think we ever have a plan for the other team.  Kudos to Butler, their coaching staff and players.  Much better prepared and executed well.

Basketball does come down to making shots more than the the other team obviously but when the shots aren't falling you need to adjust.  We never adjust.

Shooting 35% will lose a game EVERYTIME, but let's complain about coaching when we have Jones missing wide open threes and Gafford air balling turn around hook shots.

I didn't see much coaching to complain about.  Throw a bunch of 3pt shooters on the court with one nice pro prospect and hope between them they can shoot and block their way out of every coaching deficiency this program has suffered for years.  It worked enough in the regular season to get this teem over-seeded in the NCAA tourney.  Not just my opinion, the opinion of all those millions who picked Arkansas as the most obvious upset victim. 

Now its start over and build back to at best the same result on two or three years.

Not much to adjust when no one can hit a wide open shot.
We did adjust our defense and get back in the game and actually take the lead - that lead could have been extended by hitting a few of the wide open 3's. No reason we should have gone in at halftime behind.

Literally not a concern in the world to rebound.  Literally no indication that they understand the consequence of second chance points and multiple consecutive possessions by the opponent.  Literally no effort, no pride, no understanding of some of the very most fundamental basketball principles.

We are who some of us thought we were. A underachieving team with little fundamentals. It isn't a excuse...it is a reality and has been since MA started here as head coach. But don't let that dim the bright lights that the MA fan train is shining because truth pisses people off around here

Had to take contested shots because we dont run an offense. Martin had 27. Let them shoot 42% from 3. Lose the rebound battle by TWENTY.

Yeah. I'm a dick for saying fire mike though.

Hope yall are happy. This is the ceiling. Hate to say I told you so.
