Is the Yahoo sports app correct? We got out rebounded 40-26 and won?
Yes. We got absolutely crushed on the boards. SC had 21 offensive rebounds! Cam, Nwoko and Murphy combined for 8 total rebounds. We outrebounded them 40-32 in Starkville, so I don’t know what the problem was today.

I was honestly more shocked at the rebound totals for the first game in Starkville. It’s not like South Carolina is a small team.

Every road win is precious. Even an ugly one.

One consistent theme is that our only move at the end of games is Hubbard creating something for himself. Would love to see us run some actual offense.

I think we only had one true road win last season. We already have four true road wins this season. Road wins are golden in college basketball. The committee looks at road wins as a major factor when seeding.

Never take road SEC wins for granted. We are +1, on pace to win 10 games.

We took advantage of playing the worst team twice.

The team is good but not great and that was a good win. I hope that come tourney time the team gets hot. Lots of good teams go far in the tourney.

vs a team that has played the #1 and #5 team to a one possession game in their past 2 home games. On to Alabama.
Mathews not hitting 1/2 of his rebound average and getting skunked from the field was defintely the offensive difference. 72% team FTs on the road, i'll take it. That was a good scrappy road win.

If Vandy isn't ranked on Monday burn the whole thing down. Looks like UK won every category except turnovers where they gave it up 17 times to Vandy's 5.

I almost tuned out at OT....not good for my heart at this stage of the game.
Especially when it lasted damn near 45 minutes. Between the official reviews, the refs randomly just stopping play, and both head coaches calling TO after TO, it was a miserable 5 minute period to watch

This is the kind of stat that makes me scratch my head when it comes to road basketball.
I mean rebounding is rebounding!
It’s EFFORT AND DESIRE AND HUSTLE.
That should not change whether you’re playing at home, at Duke or in the gymnasium in Van Fleet MS.

What was our FT % in overtime?
Kugel and Hubbard made 4 combined, jones missed the front end of a one-and-one. So 4-5 I think. Might’ve missed a pair in there between all the reviews.

It was actually that I turned it OFF and left when regulation
ended in the tie. I had turned it on with 5 minutes to play.

It’s unwatchable. If it wasn’t us playing, I’d have just turned it off 20 minutes before it ended. Almost did anyway. They have got to fix this.
